“When we turn back to the Gods we remember: we are endlessly supported by the mystery”
James Holis
What is the Myth You Are Living?
“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.”
Carl Jung
Are You Living Your Myth, Or Someone Else’s?
We all have a myth living within us. This myth gets lived in two ways: consciously, or unconsciously.
When the myth is stuck in the unconscious, it lives out as symptoms. The myth becomes dogmatic, controlling. Even abusive.
And it calls to you. The symptoms are soul's way of calling you to live your myth fully.
We have forgotten how to answer the call.
Perhaps your myth has been calling to you for sometime.
Perhaps, it has been calling to you your whole life.
You have tried to listen though it’s becoming clearer and clearer… the old responses no longer work.
You understand psychology and your attachment style.
You have traced your patterns and are in dialogue with your parts.
You have done the ‘healing’.
And yet… the wound still aches.
This ache is the ancient magic that reaches to you from that fertile wound. It creeps into your dreams. It whispers to you in synchronicities.
And through this ache you know: life longs for something deeper than explanation.
Something vaster than rationalism.
Something richer than psychoanalysis.
This is not pathology. This is the myth calling.
Are you ready to answer it?
You Are Standing at the Threshold of Your Own Book
Soul says: YES.
You’re tired of people pleasing.
You can name your wounds but they still hurt.
You’re overwhelmed by a world that demands you fit in.
You see how much harm is perpetuated by stories and systems that keep you bound.
You resent living through someone else’s wants, desires and expectations.
You long to melt the frozen limitations put upon you.
You want unconditional access to pleasure, life force and meaning.
You want the second half of your life to be filled with purpose, responsibility and richness.
You want something more dangerous and altogether more alive.
You want authorship.
You want to live in alignment with the stars, with the Gods.
So, say YES to soul.
Why Step Into Your Myth?
Because when a myth goes unlived, it does not disappear. It distorts.
It becomes projection and blame.
Comparison.
Co-dependency and people pleasing.
Numbness.
Endless self-doubt and overwhelm.
Fear. Terror.
The subtle and devastating erosion of life force.
These symptoms can be excruciating and we have been taught to pathologise them.
But depth psychology, from Carl Jung to James Hollis, to the mythic scholarship of Joseph Campbell, reminds us:
The psyche, the soul, speaks in symbol, in image.
In aliveness.
The symptoms are not to be shamed.
They long to be listened to.
So stop psychologising the way soul calls to you and instead… mythologise the symptoms.
When we mythologise our lives rather than psychologise them, something extraordinary happens:
Meaning returns.
Soul yearns.
Fire burns.
Every time we return to the mythic, a little more magic seeps back into the broken world.
The magic repairs the ruptures.
In Devotion to Chiron
In Greek myth, the centaur Chiron was not merely a healer. He was the mentor to all the greatest heroes of the ancients. This immersion is held in devotion to that lineage.
And it is clear… we need new heroes. We need new heroines.
To meet the times we are living through.
Throughout this 12 week mythic quest, we will honour, invoke and journey with Chiron. Because he is real.
Returning to the mythic is to trust the ways that all the disintegrated magic is real.
And that the magic… is you.
Chiron is currently in Aries, the sign of the most ferocious fire. The wound is inflamed.
He will move into Taurus in our penultimate week together, which is to say, he will move into body. Into steadiness. Into stability. Chiron will step onto the fertile holding of Taurus as you step into your own myth and there is no greatest time to trust his earthy wisdom.
By exploring your own astrological Chiron placement, you will tend to the fertile wound at the heart of your own natal chart, in the centre of your own myth.
But more than that… you will come to understand how the force of magic and myth that is Chiron will mentor you, depending on his unique and deeply personal relationship to other planetary aspects (ie. GODS and MYTHIC BEINGS) in your natal chart.

What is Step into your myth?
Work archetypally with your natal chart
Invoke and honour archetypal energies rather than merely analyse them
This is not a course. It is a 12-week initiation into mythic authorship.
A space where you will:
Tend to the wound through somatic storytelling, embodied ritual and group inquiry
Enter the symbolic terrain of your birth story
Gather pivotal life events and reclaim them as myth-making material
Engage dream; both current and childhood
Stop self-abandoning, stop people pleasing, speak your truth and reclaim desire, purpose and life force
Work within a carefully held group field of witnessing
“Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.”
- Joseph Campbell
The Alchemy of Symptoms
How do we step into our myths? We look at our patterns, our symptoms, our triggers.
Instead of psychologising them, we mythologise them.
When you do this:
Disorientation becomes being lost in the mythic forest.
Numbness is the 100-year enchanted sleep.
Comparison is the enchanted mirror.
Projection is the invitation to meet your inner villain.
Throughout this journey you will listen for the symptoms which are the living expression of soul rising to the surface. Of the mythic ascending into consciousness. And together, we will mythologise instead of pathologise.
And in doing so, you unshame all the ways that you are.
You accept responsibility for who you are.
You fall more in love with yourself and life.
You restore soul.
CTA
What Will Be Different After 12 Weeks?
By the end of this immersion, you will not have “healed” your wound.
You will trust the magic, the medicine, that pours out of it. And, you will trust how the world longs for your particular flavour of magic.
You will recognise your life as symbolic terrain rather than random circumstance.
You will know how to work consciously with dream, archetype and synchronicity.
You will deeply inhabit the wisdom of your astrological natal chart and understand how Chiron can support your journey forward by mentoring various aspects from it.
You will have a new archetypal lens and language with which you view the transformative moments of your life, the key narrative arcs of your myth.
You will feel the difference between living unconsciously inside a pattern and consciously inside a myth.
You will trust your inner authority more than external narrative.
You will be excited to continue living your myth and endlessly inviting yourself to more fully inhabit it. This won’t mean that life becomes always easy and clear. It means life is full, rich and rewarding.
And perhaps most importantly: You will experience yourself not as someone reacting to life…
But as someone authoring it.
We meet online every Monday at 6pm UK time for two hours.
There are two full workshop days on 8 May and 5 June, 1-7pm BST.
All sessions will be recorded but live attendance is heavily recommended.
You can download the full curriculum here.
Over the 12 weeks you will experience:
The Experience
-
A devoted ritual space where we will embody, honour and meet the mythic. Sessions will be recorded, though live presence is encouraged.
-
8 May & 5 June
Extended initiatory containers for integration, descent and meaning making. -
Your astrology is a living symbolic map.
It is highly recommended you have your natal chart read before beginning or during Part 1 of the immersion. You can book a natal chart reading with Libby for £85. -
To restore dialogue with psyches and let the process deepen even as you sleep.
-
Because myth must be lived in the body.
-
For integration between sessions.
-
To anchor your journey and to support your myth making process beyond the closing of the immersion.
-
Sacred witnessing in community.
A Threshold…
This immersion asks for emotional maturity.
It demands trust. It requires devotion.
A capacity to take radical responsibility without abandoning yourself.
A commitment to depth rather than quick resolution.
It is not for those seeking surface reassurance.
It is for those ready to enter the forest; and stay lost long enough for it to speak…
Because if you truly want to find your way back to yourself, you must first allow yourself to be lost.
And trust: soul knows the way home.
It’s this way my love, this way…
Meet Your Guide: Libby Rose Waite
I am a psychotherapist immersed in depth psychology, somatic storytelling and mythopoetics.
I hold a Masters in Psychology. I teach embodiment. I founded Embodied Dream Weaving as a devotional act: to help the world remember how to dream.
My work is informed by Jungian thought, mythic scholarship, Tantric philosophy and the path of the Pythia where feminine knowing is not louder, but deeper.
This container has been designed not for performance, but for initiation.
It is intimate.
It is rigorous.
It is devotional.
It is in service of our collective liberation.

“Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical...
It is beyond words. Beyond images,
beyond that bounding rim of the Buddhist Wheel of Becoming.
Mythology pitches the mind beyond that rim,
to what can be known but not told.”

A Final Invocation
If you do not step into your myth, you will live inside someone else’s.
And the wound festers and turns inward.
And the symptoms get louder and begin to burn.
But when you gather the painful pieces and say:
“This too belongs.”
You do not erase the past. You crown it.
And in doing so, a little more magic returns to the world.|

TESTIMONIAL
Libby’s mythopoetic style is infectious, her love of the mythic realm led me from a tentative follower to a deep diver into the unknown, the depths of soul revealing themselves to me week by week. What pours out of me on this journey is so poetically, profoundly real. Libby has unlocked my love of stories and storytelling, creativity drips out of me. My intuition, so often shunned and shushed…has found her voice, reclaiming her shimmy through the shadow and light.
The collective container is a safe circle of connection and vulnerability, Libby supports us to support each other, we have made such strong deep connections, across the world and cosmos . The animate and inanimate are welcomed equally in our wholeness. I would never have thought this true connection was possible on line, but I feel it so powerfully.

Chiron’s Cave
The great fire pit is now as cool as ancient stone.
Yet as I rest my limbs inside it, bones offered as fresh kindling,
your breath catches upon flame once again.
May the rippling laughter of Heracles, Jason, and Achilles forever bounce off of these listening walls,
the heat of the heroic tales which you gave steady strength to, the decimated ends of them all.
The reflective light of my mirror dances across the cave,
and I catch for a moment the great vat of Pelion ash, just where you left it.
There is a grief flickering here, for the little boys, as much as for the big women.
But I want you to know, to see,
the ficus carrica trees which sprout from the remains of all that you tended in here.
They reach for the light, they reach for the light
and stay rooted in the wound in the earth
in which you made your home.
As I wipe the mossy narratives from the cave edges across my cheekbones,
I remember my dream.

This immersion is open to seekers, space-holders, therapists, facilitators, artists and guides who are ready to enter the mythic with devotion. To support your journey, you’ll need:
Some experience with somatic practices or body-based awareness.
It is highly recommended you have your natal chart read before beginning or during Part 1 so that you have awareness of your astrological map.
To feel psychologically resourced, with the capacity to meet deep material in community.
A willingness to engage with myth, dream and ritual as living presences.
Curiosity, devotion and openness to being surprised by what listening to the mythic will reveal.
This work is not about mastering content, but about surrendering to process. The more you bring your longing, the more the magic will offer its gifts.
I will send out a form once you sign up to get more details about you, what you’re longing for and what’s happening in your life, so I know how best to support you. -
The course is led by me, Libby Rose Waite. I’m a BACP-licensed psychotherapist, somatic storyteller, embodiment guide and Jungian researcher. I have a Masters in Psychology and years of devotion to depth work, ritual and the body. I hope to bring devotion and heart, academic rigour and soulful imagination to all my offerings. I am also a tantrika, weaving eros and soul into my work with myth, dream and ritual.
-
It is recommended that you join as many live calls as possible to receive the fullness of the container and community. However, all sessions will be recorded and uploaded to a private platform, so if you can’t attend live, you’ll be able to catch up in your own time.
-
Places are non-refundable.
Spaces are limited — if you take a place, you are committing to pay for it.
If something arises and you need to defer, you are welcome to join future immersions on arrangement but payments must still be honoured.
-
This immersion is for you if…
You are longing to be nourished by myth, dream and community.
You want to understand the threads of your life and weave them onto a loom of meaning making.
You are curious about astrology and want to understand how your Chiron placement can support your own mythic journey.
You are ready to face yourself and embrace midlife and the second part of your story with devotion, trust and responsibility.
You feel yourself in a season of change or loss, and you want to learn to trust that in order to find your way home, you must first allow yourself to be lost.
You are dreaming vividly (or want to begin), and are ready to honour, embody and work with those images.
You love depth psychology, animism and mythology, and want to feel them not just as ideas but as lived experience.
-
This immersion is likely not for you if…
You are looking for quick fixes or surface-level inspiration.
You prefer to stay in the head and are not ready to engage with the body, ritual and the imaginal.
You are currently in a psychological crisis or need more acute, individual support (this is not a substitute for personal therapy).
You are not open to engaging in community or collective ritual.
