Shakespeare’s play, a meditation for healing relationship

An embodied exploration with Adam Fotheringham

The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s last and most moving plays. It shares with the other late plays a preoccupation with loss and redemption. In the story King Leontes, acting out of blind jealousy, tyrannically destroys his family and happiness, but his shattered world is redeemed by time, destiny and a process of inner atonement. In this divisive age of polarising perspectives and conflicting narratives, how can we work to heal the relational rifts that threaten our human fellowship? This deeply spiritual play points both to causes of conflict in human interaction, and to the path of repair and reconciliation available if we choose to take it. Participants will be introduced to the story, which will become a lens for examining their own conduct in relationship. Through dialogue, group reflection and embodied exercises, participants will have opportunities to work with their own relationship history in a context that is strongly held, confidential and holds a possibility for healing.

Adam Fotheringham has a background in theatre as an actor, director and teacher, but now works predominantly in personal and leadership development. He is a Programme Lead and Archetypal Coach with Olivier Mythodrama, using story as a tool for developing individuals in leadership and life.
