"Once Upon a Time": Natalie Pepin and Tad Hargrave on the Power of Ancestral Stories

Stories arrive on our TV screen daily, unbidden. We are momentarily entertained or diverted but rarely are we changed. The old stories, however, passed down from generation to generation, were meant to instruct us, to identify us with a tribe, and to change us.

Natalie Pepin, a Metis artist and cultural educator, and Tad Hargrave, a European-Canadian marketer and cultural explorer, both experienced the dearth of life-changing stories in our modern culture ... until they stumbled upon traditional fairy tales. Smitten by their potency, they now offer workshops on these ancient stories, each one capable of both rooting and transforming us.
