Joseph Campbell wrote that myth has the power to touch and exhilarate the deepest and most creative energies of the soul. This workshop will explore the imagery and stories of a variety of archetypal themes—such as of Alchemy, Creation, Apocalypse, the Great Goddess, the Labyrinth, and the Descent to the Underworld—with a focus on change and transformation. These offer a rich reservoir of mythologies that can help guide us to new forms of creative expression in times of radical change and breakdown of the old structures.
The workshop will include slide-illustrated presentations, imaginal experiences, explorations of the landscape (inner and outer), and creative expression in the medium of the participant’s choice (such as writing, painting, photography, dance, music, and sculpture utilizing natural materials within the Abiquiu landscape or brought from home).
