    The Lindworm: Under the Skin (Part 3/3)

    The Lindworm: Under the Skin (Part 3/3)

    Welcome back to Part 3/3 of this telling of wonderful Scandinavian Wonder tale, The Lindworm, sometimes know as Prince Lindworm. If you haven't yet listened to PART 1 then I would urge you to go back and listen to that first. Then the story and discussion will make a lot more sense!

    It was recorded online in November 2020 with a lovely group of men, and we had some rich discussions around the themes of the story and what it brought up for us in our own lives. I think this is a fabulous story for exploring our shadows and uncovering what is going on in the metaphorical tangle at the periphery of our lives.

    I've split the audio up into what I think are three more manageable chunks - so when you've finished this one head on over to listen to Part 2 and Part 3.

    If you enjoy and find value in these sessions then do splash out the equivalent of a cup of coffee over on my Buy Me a Coffee page, to financially support me to be able to keep on putting on these sessions.

    And check out my website: www.marcuspibworth.com for info about upcoming sessions you can be a part of, so see videos of some of my stories and to view my new storytelling bookshop!
