Panel

When:

11:00 AM, Saturday 13 Feb 2021 (1 hour)

Where:

Red Lion Hotel Pasco, WA - Undercroft

How:

According to Jung's archetypes theory and Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces, humans seem to need story the way we need sunlight and air. What is it about stories that makes them so compelling to our nature? Why do we seek them out and how do they help us? Can a story do the opposite of helping? If you are a reader, movie watcher, or even a creator, come learn the behind-the-scenes mental mechanisms of why we like to watch the journey of someone else.
