Men and Mythology: A Four Week Group Seminar with Kwame Scruggs, Ph.D.


Saturdays, October 9 - October 30 / 1pm - 2:30 pm EDT (10am - 11:30am PDT)

The Salome Institute of Jungian Studies

This is an opportunity for men and non-binary individuals from all backgrounds and ages to explore life experiences together through myth. In this group, spanning four Saturdays in October, mythologist Kwame Scruggs, Ph.D. will guide participants in self-inquiry, listening, and sharing within a group environment through storytelling and drumming.

In each 90min session, Kwame will share a portion of a myth, working through it piece by piece from start to finish. Throughout each gathering, participants will be invited to bring their understanding of the story to life. Whether vocalizing their reactions in the group or silently in a notebook, participants are encouraged to reflect on their own life through the mythic tale, exploring the meaning of symbols and of the trials that can take our whole being to overcome.

This unique, proven, and timeless process of psychological inquiry through myth is designed to increase awareness of one's "life behind the life" and promote a sense of connection and empathy.

Please note this group is for men and male identified persons. For women who are interested in participating, The Salome Institute will be hosting a group for women with Kwame Scruggs in August / September of 2021.
