This weekend I’m honored to be presenting at the Celebrating the Mythic Life conference, held at the Center for Symbolic Studies in New Paltz, New York. I’ll be presenting workshops and classes on five different topics, including Personal Mythology, Myth for Writers, Myth and Movement, The Shadow Side of the Hero’s Journey, and Bliss and Blisters, on myth, technology and innovation.
