Step into your myth
STEP INTO YOUR MYTH
A Free Workshop from the Healing Heart of Chiron’s Cave
23 March | 6pm GMT | Online + By Recording
For those on the edge of their next becoming
longing to live their lives with clarity, courage
and in full consciousness of the myth that lives within.
The Wisdom in the Wound
In this free workshop we will work with the energy of Chiron, the Centaur from Greek mythology who reminds us that the medicine always grows right next to the poison.
Chiron is the original plant medicine shaman. The immortal half man, half horse who made his home in a cave at the centre of the woods of Mount Pelion. He lived in the earth, bottling sacred ash, ointments and elixirs. There was nothing Chiron could not heal.
And then he himself was wounded.
By a blade so sharp and a poison so deadly that there was nothing he could do to heal himself.
And so he became the wounded healer.
To work with Chiron is to enquire into our own wounds. Is it our job to heal them, or to make magic with them? To recognise that within the wound are the seeds of your own story.
But Chiron is more than the wounded healer. He is the mentor, guide and teacher of heroes. He trained Heracles, Jason and Achilles; the greatest heroes from the days of old.
And he will train you to become the hero of your own story.
This Workshop is For You If...
You have done the self work, the deep inquiry and tended to your wounds. And yet, they still hurt.
You feel the throb of soul, hear the call of dream, see the strands of synchronicity and yet are unsure how to answer them.
You sense there is a guide within you beckoning, this way, this way… you long to trust them.
You are in the yellowing years of life and yearning to alchemise all your experience into gold.
You are curious about astrology and how you can meaningfully use its cartography to guide your soul, journey and life.
You feel called to live mythically, but do not know how to begin.
Are You Living Your Own Myth?
There is a myth within each of us.
It is driving your life whether you are aware of it or not.
When we remain unconscious of our mythic quest, it plays out through symptoms:
• Projection, blame and comparison
• Living inside someone else’s story, a partner, a parent, a system
• Not knowing what you want or how to ask for it
• Feeling untethered, overwhelmed or out of alignment
• Stuckness, disorientation or distraction
• Numbness or lack of access to life force and pleasure
• Losing the ability or desire to listen to land, dream and synchronicity.
These symptoms are not signs of failure or mistakes. They are gifts.
These symptoms are often psychologised, pathologised. This workshop is an invitation to explore, what happens when we mythologise our symptoms?
Because when transformed into mythic boons they become a map. A cartography of soul that shows you how to step fully, devotedly and powerfully into the centre of your own myth.
Where life becomes more brilliant, more terrifying and more aligned with the deepest longing of soul. With the power of the Gods.
We will invoke Chiron not only to tend to your wounds, but to reveal how they contain the seeds of your story.
Join me for an evening of embodied ritual, psychological astrology and somatic storytelling.
This is your invitation to Step into your Myth.
In This Immersive Workshop You Will:
• Honour Chiron and explore your relationship to your own wounds through the lens of psychological astrology
• Discover how your deepest pain carries the medicine of your myth
• Begin training as the hero of your own story
• Explore what it truly means to live your own myth
• Make soul level meaning of your life as it is unfolding
Not so that you are 'healed'.
But so that you step into sacred responsibility, clarity of purpose and communion with the mystery at the heart of it all.
Meet Your Guide
I’m Libby Rose Waite, creator of Embodied Dream Weaving and steward of the upcoming three-month immersion also titled Step Into Your Myth. This free workshop is your gateway into that transformative journey.
When we meet for the workshop, I will be Greece. I am heading off on pilgrimmage to Mount Pelion, the home where Chiron brewed his elixirs and trained the great heroes. I will ask him for his guardianship, his support and his mentorship for all we will together. I carry your prayers, your hopes, your longings into the temples. I prepare to step more fully into my own myth—and I invite you to step into yours.
“I was driven to ask myself in all seriousness, ‘What is the myth you are living?’
I found no answer to this question, and I had to admit that I was not living with a myth, or even in a myth, but rather in an uncertain cloud of theoretical possibilities which I was beginning to regard with increasing distrust.”
Jung
Libby takes us by the hand, walks us through and intimately guides us into the realm of psyche, the realm of soul, that liminal space where we can connect into a deeper and broader sense of who we are and where we come from.
She speaks to the poet and the mystic in each of us, the one that dares to descend, the one that yearns for connection, but ultimately the one that knows.
As she threads in wisdom from both the imaginal and the embodied realms, she helps us to remember. To re-member. She helps us to become reacquainted with the magical, with the mystical, but also with the darkness, the mystery, the shadow.
With Libby we remember that we are everything, that we are intimately intertwined with the entirety of existence, with the aching reality of the exquisite agony of being here, where poetry and magic inevitably coexist with brutality and despair.
Libby holds this. She holds this line from a place of embodied acceptation, from an inner knowing that she must, because it matters. Because it matters for us to be able to turn to darkness and uphold the glimmer, because it matters that we can still encounter joy amidst a world that is in calamity.
Because she cares. And this is the essential thing. It hurts to care so much. And what do we do with that? Do we turn away and blind ourselves in a falsity of beauty and loveliness or do we turn towards the sacred ache and bear witness to it to such a degree that it becomes a thing of real beauty. Of service. Of belonging.
Thank you Libby for holding this degree of entirety in you and for showing us the way. Through your storytelling, your guardianship and your showing up, again and again and again.
