Annabelle Nelson -- "Storytelling, Wisdom, and Archetypes"

Annabelle Nelson will speak about and sign "Storytelling, Wisdom, and Archetypes," at the Boulder Bookstore. Annabelle Nelson will speak about and sign Storytelling, Wisdom, and Archetypes: Why Stories Matter–and How They Shape Our Lives, on Tuesday, December 1st at 6:30pm, at the Boulder Bookstore. About the Book: Storytelling, Wisdom, and Archetypes explores the transformative power of story to shape the inner life. Through twenty cultural myths and original tales, Annabelle Nelson shows how hearing stories, telling stories, and recognizing archetypal patterns can open awareness, heal emotional wounds, and help us make sense of our lives. Drawing on psychology, Buddhism, and Indigenous wisdom traditions, Nelson reveals storytelling as a living practice-one that embodies essential virtues such as choosing acceptance, facing tests, celebrating beauty, embodying bravery, and embracing death and rebirth. With warmth and clarity, she weaves insights from her four-decade journey as a psychologist, researcher, yogi, and Zen practitioner, showing how story becomes a vehicle for emotional health, imagination, and what Thomas Aquinas called "lifability"-the art of making a life work. Exploring archetypes, imagery, balance wheels, and the hero-heroine cycle, this book invites readers to see their own lives as evolving stories of transformation-and perhaps, to begin telling new ones. _______________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION • Tickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee). • A coupon good for $5 off a copy of Storytelling, Wisdom, and Archetypes, or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.
