Corinne Harragin

In the Waters of Story: An oral storytelling session with guided reflection

In this session, Corinne will share chosen stories about rivers, springs and waterways, taking us into the rich world of our individual and collective imaginations. Through guided reflections, we will follow the flow of the different stories, exploring the different images that story offers us about our relationship with nature, imagination and soul.

In the process we might consider Amitov Ghosh’s assertion that ‘the environmental crisis is also a crisis of imagination’.

Corinne Harragin has been touring around the UK telling stories for the last ten years. Using physicality and humour she reanimates the written-down-ness of story with her own brand of oral performance. Corinne also runs storytelling workshops to help us find our storytelling voices. Her recent show Troubled Waters tells the stories of sacred rivers and springs. As a research associate at the University of Bristol, her current project Storying the Avon (funded by the Brigstow Institute) explores connection to water through storytelling. She also designs and delivers storytelling and presentation skills training for the universities of Bristol and Gloucestershire. She has recently completed an MA at The University of Bristol in which she researched contemporary forms of oral storytelling.

General information

Since the early eighties, the C.G. Jung Public Lectures have played an important part in establishing and maintaining Bristol's reputation as an acknowledged centre of interest in Depth Psychology.

The monthly lectures are on current issues and topics broadly related to the field of analytical psychology and are given by a variety of professional and established speakers. They are open to everybody with an interest in depth psychology, the therapies, philosophy, religion, mythology, life and the arts.

The aim is to provide a friendly, informal space for Jung's ideas and philosophy to reach a wider public. There is time for refreshment, socialising, and networking after the lecture followed by participative discussion with the speaker in the round.

A reduced-price bookstall is sometimes provided by Bookmark, Bristol. Their website includes a good selection
of Jungian and Analytical Psychology titles (also at reduced prices)!
