Why does the story of Oz continue to intrigue and delight us after 125 years? Join us as we consider this timeless tale from the unique perspective of each character--from young Dorothy… to the Tin Man… to the Flying Monkeys… to the shadowy Wizard himself! Originally written as political allegory, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been adapted countless times for music, stage and screen—most recently re-imagined in the musical Wicked. In this class we’ll explore excerpts some of these films to deepen our personal sense of Home, Heart, Power, Courage and Change. We’ll practice applying the lens of psychology theories that
heal us by honoring all of our own “parts.” We may even discover that there is a bit of every character in each of us!
