Community Mythology Project (CMP) is about us taking control of the stories that influence our behavior. Too often we are consumers of the stories of others -- Hollywood, cultural legacy myths, the media, ideology and political myths. We let ourselves be programmed with attitudes and behavior that fuel a lifestyle, economy, aesthetic sensitivity and spirituality that may not be optimal. We also opt out of participating in a fundamental human right -- the privilege of being creative, active, hands on in consciously shaping our future according to our values. With a CMP this is done as a group with everyone contributing. As we exercise our creativity, we recognize the rights of others to create. We learn to appreciate art, literature, poetry, performances and in the process learn about each other through our varied responses to a common myth framework.
