You’re invited in this workshop to embody the hero within, discover your inner gods, and befriend the monsters that lurk in the shadows of your psyche. By embracing your hero’s journey, you can unlock your healing potential, transform your tragedies, and integrate all aspects that comprise your life’s myth.
Traumas, or wounds, are initiations that demand of you to cross the threshold between light and dark, order and chaos, oneness and separation, ordinary and extraordinary worlds. Myths are maps meant to help you navigate the crossing from the descent into your personal underworld, your subconscious, to the ascent up to your Mount Olympus, home to the gods and your conscious mind.
You will experience five myths over five sessions, each a call to adventure: Medusa and Perseus, Sisyphus, Minotaur and Theseus, Chiron, and Odysseus. Deep-seated wisdom is encoded in the ancient Greek language of these myths and preserved like a time capsule over thousands of years. We have combined this ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge, healing modalities that include but are not limited to Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Mindfulness.
If you accept the call to adventure and join us, you will go inside, get a taste of your unique journey, and return to the here-and-now with an elixir rooted in ancestral wisdom that you can add to your healing or self-care repertoire. You will feel your way out of trauma reactions and into healing responses inspired by the mythical archetypes that reside in all of us as part of our shared humanity.
