How can myth become a portal into the deep time of your local territory?
In this workshop, writer and Dark Mountain co-director Charlotte Du Cann will show how myths work as a 'tech' to transform and align human beings with the energies and intelligence of the sentient Earth. Relating the four initiatory tasks of Psyche (from the story of 'Eros and Psyche') to the four elements of this course we will explore how to develop a practice that weaves together imagination and the living world.
The session will include guidance on how to work with myth as a frame and anchor in times of disruption. how to widen your perception and deepen your relationships with place and time. There will also be an opportunity to discuss your encounters with others and forge them into creative work
