Trailing the Scent of the Wild: Mythopoetic Study Group
Are you drawn to the untamed edges of imagination? Do you sense the ancient, mythic roots still entwined with the issues of our contemporary world? Join Trailing the Scent of the Wild, a mythopoetic study group where we explore the fertile ground between story, imagination, and lived experience.
What We’ll Explore
This group gathers those who are curious, passionate, and perhaps even restless for a deeper engagement with the world through the lens of myth and imagination. Together, we’ll delve into subjects that speak to the heart and stir the soul:
The Poetics of Imagination: Exploring the poetic landscapes where creativity and myth intertwine.
Stories and Storytelling: Unearthing ancient tales and crafting new ones that resonate with the challenges and beauty of today.
Arts and Ecology: The relationship between creative expression and the natural world, and how both can inspire renewal.
A Mythic Lens on Contemporary Society: What happens when we view modern life through the timeless truths of myth?
Who is it for?
This space is open to those who feel the call of the wild imagination—artists, storytellers, educators, and anyone curious about what it means to live mythically in an increasingly rational world. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer of myth or just beginning your journey, you are welcome here.
What to Expect
Engaging discussions on myths, stories, and their relevance today.
Creative exercises and imaginative practices to inspire personal and collective insight.
Opportunities to explore how a mythopoetic lens can be applied to contemporary issues.
Explore the work of a poetic ancestor or imaginative thinker.
