Saturdays, April 3 - APril 24/ 1pm - 2:30 pm EST (10am - 11:30am PST)
The Salome Institute of Jungian Studies In this group, spanning Saturdays in April, mythologist Kwame Scruggs, Ph.D. will guide participants in self-inquiry, listening, and sharing within a group environment.
Each week, for four sessions, Kwame will share a portion of a myth, working through it piece by piece from start to finish. Throughout each 90min gathering, participants will be invited to bring their understanding of the story to life. Whether vocalizing their reactions in group or silently in a notebook, participants are encouraged to reflect on their own life as an epic tale, with trials that can take our whole being to overcome. This unique, proven, and timeless process is designed to increase awareness of one's "life behind the life" and promote a sense of connection and empathy.
Kwame has been guiding youth and men of all ages through self-inquiry via mythology for over twenty years. He was introduced to the healing properties of myth through the work of Michael Meade, with whom he has since worked through Alchemy Inc. half a dozen times. Kwame is adept at using mythic stories to guide participants into a greater understanding of their place in the world, activating the knowledge that provides the impetus for living with meaning and purpose, becoming the heroes in our stories.
This May seminar series is open to new participants and anyone who participated in our February group. Kwame will select a new myth for personal exploration in a community environment.
