What Story Therapy Actually Is
Story therapy is a structured self-knowledge method built on archetypes and symbolic systems found in tales. Characters, trials, turning points—these often mirror our life situations. Through shared discussion and guided processing, participants gain new perspectives, insights, and practical options for moving forward. It’s not literary analysis; it’s experiential inner work that can help with clarifying decisions, working through midlife questions, strengthening confidence, recognizing inner resources, and finding emotional balance.
How the Workshop Works
Each evening centers on a selected tale, explored together in a supportive, confidential group. Expect a safe and encouraging atmosphere, deep yet practical inner work, inspiring conversations, emotional recharge, and fresh angles on your current situations. You don’t need prior experience or a literary background—just openness to personal growth and the symbolic world of stories. If you’re considering life choices, feeling stuck, or simply want a meaningful program in Szeged, this is for you.
Seasonal Themes Across the Year
January – New Year’s Tale Night: An ideal time for stocktaking and setting directions. Tales help identify where you’re starting from and the inner resources you can lean on for the road ahead.
February – Carnival Tale Night: The season of roles, masks, and transformations. Tales invite you to look at what you show the world—and what’s underneath.
March – Lenten Tale Night: A period for slowing down and inner housekeeping. Tales approach lack, trials, and endurance to support inner cleansing.
April – Easter Tale Night: Renewal after loss. Stories guide recognition of how we arrive in new situations through difficulties.
May – Pentecost Tale Night: Tuning in to one another and collective strength. Tales examine how to find a voice with ourselves and others, and how cooperation is born. If you’re stuck, facing a decision, or want clearer sight, this guided evening helps you get closer to your own answers. A special guided tale uses cards and questions to illuminate your themes—no need to fix anything, just be present and connect. The group’s support helps you hear yourself more clearly.
June – Midsummer Night’s Tale: The longest days carry the fullness of light and life force. Tales speak about passion, crossing thresholds, and the weight of conscious choices.
July – Summer Tale Night: A time of openness and experience. Journey tales reflect what we learn on the path and how experiences shape us.
August – Harvest, St. Stephen’s (Szent István) Tale Night: Fulfillment and evaluation. Stories help recognize what truly belongs to us and what we can pass on.
September – Autumn Kickoff Tale Night: Ripening and letting go. Tales show how release can lay the foundation for moving forward.
October – All Saints’ (Mindenszentek) Tale Night: A time of remembrance. Stories help connect with loss and memory, creating space for grief and restoring inner order.
November – Advent Preparation Tale Night: Waiting turns attention inward. Tales prepare us for what’s arriving—both in the holidays and in inner processes.
December – Advent, Christmas Tale Night: Closing the year by arriving at the feast. Stories revolve around connection, acceptance, and finding inner light.
