Jacqueline Freeman, MA, Celebrant & Coach

Many of us know that if we’re eating bad food, we’ll feel sluggish and tired, lacking the energy and focus we need to get through our days. Yet how many of us realize that the stories we consume via TV and movies, books and even research can have the same effect? We read stories to our children, but about the time they get out of concrete operations and are capable of really working with stories in a deeper way, we call them “fairy tales” and throw them out. As a result of not understanding how stories works, we’re surrounded by junk food for the soul. Fairy-Folktales help us embrace ourselves fully, and thus be able to navigate life’s inevitable difficulties.

Join Jacqueline to learn:

• The basic anatomy of stories
• To telescope into the places hidden from our conscious view with stories
• How some of the things that seem scary or limiting in stories are actually very liberating

About Jacqueline: Jacqueline Freeman is a coach and celebrant that has accepted that though she adores plants, she is a mediocre gardner. By the time the plants are thriving, a good flight special comes along and she’s back to square one. She’s much better at helping humans grow and bloom. She learned the hard way that wanting to stop negative patterns and actually charting a new passage are two different things. Several breakdowns and break-ups later, she’s now a master of ushering a tree out of a mustard seed. She grew up in an alcoholic Southern Baptist family in Memphis, Tennessee. (Paradoxical, yes, and also quite common). It was the best possible fertilizer for the work she is here to do. The work of Carl Jung–and his belief that humans are good, marvelous, and self-healing–is the sap of her tree. She got her Master’s degree in The Netherlands, where she lived for almost a decade. She taught writing, literature, and women’s studies for 13 years, and now lives in Arizona with her partner Jason, and her two cats Yaqin & Ertussen in a house with lots of funny angles and a different color on every wall.
