STORY is one of the oldest forms of teaching, and cross-culturally, it has been the main vehicle for handing down a culture's important values from generation to generation. From a mythic perspective, I believe story can support the unfolding of the dynamic purpose that is encoded in each of us. This coding holds our life calling, our greatest potential. Humans by nature are mythic beings.

In essence, we could say we are all "storied."  No one escapes myth, for these mythic patterns are encoded in our cells. They live in our bones, travel in our blood, reach our nervous systems and incarnate with us into life. Our myths weave throughout all our tragedies and our victories. The question we should all ask ourselves is not do I have a myth, a greater story to live, but what is my story, and how can I actualize it? As a parent, educator, therapist, and artist this question has become the focus of all my work. One simple way to open the doorway to this mythic potential is to hear story and myth. In myth we can find large universal patterns. These patterns often express the deep coding of human consciousness, and people of all times and places are compelled to tell and retell these stories for this very reason. In this way, we seem to find avenues to express the deepest truths we know about ourselves.

Jean Houston, a pioneer in this work believes: "Consciously or unconsciously, we are drawn to stories that provide the missing parts to the puzzle of our own life. When we encounter these tales we recognize them instantly. There is something about them, a flash of connection that says... In this story there is a piece of my own." All children come with this knowing. There is not a child alive that does not love story time. The magic of story has not yet been forgotten, put aside. Story and myth are truly gifts from the universe. They help us find our way. They give us keys to ourselves and open us to new experiences that expand us. Seeing our life as a great story can fill us with passion, give us access to infinite possibilities, and grant us the opportunity of living a mythic life, one rich with creative fire.

I invite you to come and join me in a sacred circle, where we will peel away each story in search of our deeper selves. Together we will find our roots and grow our wings!
