MYTS
THE SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE OF PSYCHE
Dreams, myth and storytelling emerge from the depths of psyche which speaks in the symbolic language of soul. Their charge is poetic, embodied and alive. They weave together the threads of human experience into meaningful narratives.
Dreams, like myths, need to be rooted. They belong to the earth. They tell the story of the animate. The artistry of the embodied mythic carries archetypal images, charges and universal themes that resonate across time and culture if we allow them to propagate. They offer glimpses into the soul’s inner landscape, just as myths provide a shared map for navigating the mysteries of existence. Storytelling, in turn, transforms these raw, symbolic materials into forms that can be spoken, heard and integrated, so that we can bridge the gap between inner and outer worlds. Together, Dreams, myth and storytelling create a triad of meaning-making, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place within the larger story.
Here are some stories, practices and a podcast for you to immerse yourself in Myth to support deep dreaming.

PODCAST
For the Shire: Coming Home Through Tolkien, Tarot and Jung
Two very nerdy Mellons, Molly and Libby, begin a new adventure... For the Shire: Coming Home through Tolkien, Tarot and Jung.
In this podcast we geek out about the Lord of the Rings and explore its characters through the archetypal portals of Tarot and Jungian Depth Psychology. We share how these books have shaped us, given meaning to our lives and carried us to the crack of doom… and back again.
Please join us on this road as it follows ever on and on.

STORYTIME
Myth of Sati
This is a story of when the balance of the universe falls into disrepair. It is a tale of devotion so fierce it burns brighter than the stars, and loss so great it shakes the foundations of existence itself. In the dance of gods and mortals, where power clashes with sacrifice, the world trembles, and destiny is rewritten in fire and grief. But from destruction comes renewal, and from sorrow, the promise of a love that transcends time itself.
An Embodied Myth Pilgrimage to the heartlands of the Ancient Archetypes.
Explore the below offerings to immerse yourself in the Greek Myths.
MYTHOSOMA
STORYTIME
Myth of Psyche
This is a story of when humanity meets divinity. Where mortal fragility collides with celestial passion and love is tested in the shadow of the gods. It is a tale woven with longing and mystery, where unseen hands cup desire and the boundaries between trust and betrayal blur like a dream upon waking. Through whispered omens and impossible trials, the soul journeys through darkness in search of light, proving that even in the realm of the divine, love is both a gift and a challenge.
EMBODIMENT PRACTICE
Persephone: Cycles of Soul
Deep rest, yin and embodied mythos in the arms of Hades.
This is a story of descent and return. When the earth cracks open and the flowers wither, a young goddess crosses the threshold between life and death, between who she was and who she must become. In the underworld’s shadowed halls, desire and duty intertwine and the cycle of seasons is written in the language of longing. It is a tale of darkness embraced, of a queen crowned in the quiet hush of autumn, and of a love that lingers like the scent of pomegranates on parted lips.
EMBODIMENT PRACTICE
The Odyssey
An Aerobic Retelling of the decade long return journey from the tragedy of Troy back to the shores of Ithaca.
Move with the energy of Odysseus, the warrior-wanderer who faced the wrath of Poseidon (Neptune) through storms, the Cylcops and The Sirens. His journey was not just across the sea, but deep within. A long return to self after decades of war.
Like him, you will navigate between instinct and insight, between the raw fire of Aries and the vast unknown of Neptune.
Let yourself get lost. Let yourself get found. Let the movements be a choreography of courage, confusion, longing and homecoming.
