New Self in the Old World: Integration and The Problem of “The Return”

An evening of storytelling and conversation with Dr. Catherine Svehla

You’ve gone through a transformative experience. How do you bridge the gap between the new you and your old world?

This the final challenge in the cycle of transformation, what mythologist Joseph Campbell called “The Return” in the hero’s adventure. Although every adventure is unique, myths and old stories offer models and clues about how to meet the challenge of bringing your new awareness to your community. Sharing the gifts and possibility of renewal.

Come listen to a story, gather ideas, and be part of the conversation.

This offering is part of the Lesser Mysteries spring cycle within the Greater Mysteries project — an ongoing series of seasonal programs, ritual performances, and conversations exploring transformation, myth, and the sacred cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
