According to Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung once asked, “What myth am I living by?” And when Jung realized that he did not know, he wrote, "I took it upon myself to get to know ‘my’ myth, and I regarded this as the task of tasks."
Join Jessica for a magical weekend of exploration and transformation through yoga and Myth as means of re-writing our embodied stories.
Winter is the time of the Crone, the Dark Goddess, the Veiled One. As the cold and dark draw us inside, we are invited to seek light from a deeper source. For the winter reveals as much as it conceals. It is the time of year for going inward and tending to the fire within, the tapas of yoga. Warmed by those flames, you can find your Self in the stories that call you forward into this world…and surrender those that grew cold long ago.
We all are the embodiment of the stories we collectively, individually, unconsciously, and consciously tell through our thoughts, words, and actions. While some myths empower us to access and tap into hidden or unknown aspects of our whole selves, we often cling unconsciously to faulty, self-limiting stories that have been grafted to our self understanding along the way. Whether we are exploring the internalized myth of not being good enough or the myth of being strong enough, we are invited to look at the stories we have writ large into our body, our minds, our spirits, and revise (see anew).
Yogic scriptures have long taught us that the body is made of unresolved karmas—the echoes of these stories of thought, word, and action. And through the practices of yoga (including asana—our physical articulation), we can access and address the underlying myths that determine how we experience our lives.
Our weekend will invoke and call upon diverse wisdom traditions to guide and inspire us, from the Celts and the Hopi to the Hindu and ancient Greek gods and goddesses. Together we will explore which myths we are “living by,” how those stories are carried in our bodies, thoughts, and actions, and how to write our way to freedom and joy. Like all rites of passage, we will bring sacred inquiry into our practices of yoga (asana, meditaion, pranayama, bhakti, and kriya), dance, song, story-telling, mask-making, and more. We will savor solitude and silence, partner/small-group activities, and collective/tribal experiences to support reflection and expression. Reading and writing your life from these transformative perspectives, you will leave with a better sense of “your” myth.
If you are willing to re-vision yourself, then join this magical ritual weekend of renewal, restoration, and reawakening.
May the light of yoga shine upon and through you always,
Jessica
