About this webinar

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.

What You'll Learn
