In her 12-week course on Fairy Tales, Peer Leader Sydney Wilde uses the Great Courses, "A Children's Guide to Folklore and Wonder Tales" to mediate a delightful romp through our collective unconscious. The popular series features Hannah Harvey, an award-winning teacher and professional storyteller, from whom Sydney pulls provocative ideas plus tips on how to tell these wonderful tales to friends and loved ones.  Sydney is a retired Unitarian Universalist Minister and devotee of mythology since she was 11, when she received her first book of Greek and Roman Mythology. In seminary, she studied the psychological and cultural impact of Myth and Ritual on civilization from a Jungian perspective. She has expanded her fascination of all things Jungian by studying Jungian interpretations of fairy tales, the use of female goddesses as Jungian Archetypes, comparative mythology, and by pursuing the art of storytelling. She has been collecting myths and telling stories for more than 35 years.
