Right from the Panchatantra to the Jataka tales, the story way of teaching, sharing and documenting, used the animal world immensely. However, we see them mostly in children’s tales.
A keen sense of natural observation was inherent in the story makers and using metaphors from the natural world was a common trait. This can come back into our vocabulary only if we open the doors to listening to the nature around us.
This workshop will explore the philosophy and ethology, thus connecting the human psychology that these tales inherit.

- The appreciation of animal tales for adults.
