SUMMARY:Ancient Myths & Their Wisdom for Contemporary Spiritual Seekers (Online Series)
DESCRIPTION:“A myth… is a metaphor for a mystery beyond human comprehension. It is a comparison that helps us understand\, by analogy\, some aspect of our mysterious selves. A myth\, in this way of thinking\, is not an untruth but a way of reaching a profound truth.” ~ Christopher Vogler \nThe word myth is saturated with numerous\, sometimes negative connotations in contemporary times. Often\, it is associated with being an untruth or a fabricated statement. Yet\, this recent usage of the word ignores the rich\, timeless value for which myths were originally conceived. Join us for this multi-part series that will explore some of the world’s prominent mythologies in their original light and the deep spiritual wisdom cradled within them. Excerpts of myths will be gathered from the Egyptian\, Greek\, Chinese\, Celtic and Native American traditions amongst other cultures. Additional sources will include Michael Meade’s Awakening the Soul and his long-running podcast series\, Living Myth. \nWithin each session\, there will be abundant opportunities to creatively experience these myths and connect with the parallels they offer to contemporary spiritual seekers and their personal journeys. Centralizing themes from each of the featured mythologies will be highlighted in each session of the series. While pertinent information related to respective myths will be provided\, also woven throughout each session will be time for contemplative silence and meditation\, journaling\, personal reflection\, and group discussion. Participants will emerge from the series with a timely and deepened awareness about the gifts and relevance of myths and the healing role they can serve in cultivating understanding and peace in our world today. \nMythological journeys will unfold along the following schedule as we journey with diversely different cultures and traditions from around the world: \n· January 28th – Egyptian Mythology\n· February 25th – Greek Mythology\n· March 25th – Chinese Mythology\n· April 29th (5th Tuesday) – Celtic Mythology\n· May 27th – Native American Mythologies \nPlease Note: Attendance is encouraged in each session of this series\, however\, interested participants can register for one\, a few\, or all programs depending on personal preference and availability. \nDATE: Tuesdays – 1/28\, 2/25\, 3/25\, 4/29\, and 5/27/25 \nTIME: 1:00 – 3:00 PM ET \nCOST: $200 for Series or $45 per Session \nREGISTRAION is required; please register here. \n CANCELLATION POLICY: Please read our cancellation policy\, here.  \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from programming@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program.
