Last month's participants wrote:

" I feel illuminated with newfound knowledge. Like the fireworks on the Fourth of July, ! I can't wait to follow up with the suggested  reading and everything you imparted"

"That was truly a wonderful offering. What you did was amazing!"

"It is not an exaggeration to say that your workshops are not just life-altering and empowering: they are actually  life-saving.  You have changed my life and given me hope"

Join  mythologist Kayleen Asbo, Ph.D and Jungian Film Studies teacher Terry Ebinger, MS for this transformative journey  through storytelling, art meditation, guided journaling and intimate circles of sharing- all on zoom.. The Ancient myths of the Heroine's Path speak of finding our way back to wholeness after loss, abandonment,  betrayal, dismemberment, amnesia, sleep and forgetting.  Hidden within the Ancient Summerian epic of Inanna,   the Roman tale of Psyche and fairytales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson are clues for our own awakening and healing.
​
In this one day myth and arts workshops, we
 will discover how  the echoes of these myths  are emerging-- and transforming-- in contemporary culture from Wonder Woman to  Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games) to Beth Harmon (  The Queen's Gambit) and Rey Skywalker (The Force Awakens,  The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker) as a call to wholeness and remembrance in service to our larger community . Join  mythologist Kayleen Asbo, Ph.D and Jungian Film Studies teacher Terry Ebinger, MS for this transformative journey  through storytelling, art meditation, guided journaling and intimate circles of sharing- all on zoom.
