A meaning-making studio.
Mirth & Myth explores self-inquiry and identity through imagination, narrative, relationship, and symbol. It is a place to try new ideas, embrace intellectual curiosity, and experiment with spiritual and creative exploration.
Guided reflection, contemplative observation, and creative practices make room to explore alignment and direction and to look more closely at how we understand ourselves and our experiences.
Imaginal Pattern Studies uses a collection of creative prompts to guide you into unfamiliar territory. You then look closely at your response, the experience of creating it and observe where your attention went, what you assumed, how you felt, and what surprised you. Through this repeated process and subsequent exercises, you begin to see how you move and react within your inner world, and consider how those responses might relate to your life beyond the exercise.
The studies and their first workbook, The Invented Person, are on the way.
What happens when the person we are drawn to becomes someone we have, in part, invented? A workbook of ten studies: you begin with a stranger and very little information, then spend time with someone you have already imagined at length.
Explore how we can use tarot and oracle cards to ask questions about our lives and relationships. The exercises invite you to find cards that represent people in your life and bring the images together to construct a story about an encounter, a relationship, or something you’re trying to understand.
The essays and guided inquiries also provide starting points for facilitated conversations in small groups and seminars. If you'd like to bring this work to a group, or talk about something you've read here, I'd be glad to hear from you.
