Hello everyone!
My name is Travis, I'm currently residing in Berkeley, California, USA. I'm a recent graduate from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (now chopped up, corporatized, and rebranded as "Sofia University"). I received an MA in Counseling Psychology in June, and am looking to establish the next chapter of my life. I am also a DJ, and produce mythologically-influenced electronic music under the alias "Mythogen Mysterion".
This online course perfectly fits into my own internal mythological development at this time. My most recent album, entitled "Alchemy of Shadow and Light" delves into alchemical principles and philosophy of personal and collective transformation. Grounded in the bedrock of Jungian Psychology, I channeled and distilled various archetypal forces into audio form, all of which fall under the umbrella of the Singularity Archetype.
The Singularity Archetype, a term coined by Jungian writer Jonathan Zap in his book "Crossing the Event Horizon: Human Metamorphosis and the Singularity Archetype", is basically summed up in the premise of this certificate course. The Singularity Archetype is like a coin with two sides, apocalyptic-extinction / transcendent-evolutionary-potential. The concepts of the Terrapocalypse and EarthRise give names and further detail to the two sides of the Singularity Archetype.
In my counseling practice, I am looking to work in the field of Eco-Therapy. I am currently volunteering at the Gill Tract Community Organic Farm in Berkeley, and am looking to integrate all of my skills into a holistic community-building practice. I am interested in networking and collaboration with anyone who is in the area. I am on the "events and education working group" for the farm, so organizing workshops and skill-shares falls under my duties there. Craig, maybe we could talk about this in more detail later? Your relevant areas of expertise would be appreciated here!
Anyways, I feel like I've been pulled into a very coherent synchronicity-wave right now, and am looking forward to the next few weeks!
Thanks,
Travis Rios

Hi Travis. So glad you're taking this course. I find it fascinating that you are "channeling archetypal forces into audio form." Music has had a powerful influence on me, particularly in the context of specific depth modalities and events designed to create transformation. I look forward to hearing some of yours. Meanwhile, I've been doing a lot of reading and research on the Unus Mundus, also related to the singularity archetype. Can't wait to see how all this plays out in the course.
