Medicine Theater: Into the Mythic—A Co-Created Storymaking Deep Dive

During this day long we will explore the transformative power of mythic story creation, using improv exercises and other story crafting methods to co-create worlds that bridge personal and collective healing. Our aim is to unlock aspects of ourselves and experience liberation and joy through embodied creative expression as we traverse the healing realms of co-created story.

Through a guided musical journey, we will traverse the landscapes of our imagination, awakening the archetypal wisdom and gifts of our creative spirit.

This work is a full-body, spontaneous, morphing art form that ignites the creative being within us. We will move beyond the rational, linear mind into the intuitive dimension of creative play, where healing and transformation unfold.

What to Expect

🔥 Engage in improvisational exercises inspired by Viola Spolin to bring mythic stories to life.

🔥 Draw on the power of archetypal beings—The Wisdom Grandmother, The Sacred Fool, and The Story Weaver of Time—to uncover deep creative wisdom.

🔥 Break free from old narratives and constrictive programming through embodied storytelling.

🔥 Co-create mythic worlds that bridge personal and collective healing.

🔥 Embrace the Sacred Fool’s wisdom, unlocking joy, spontaneity, and the freedom to express your fullest self.

As we weave mythic stories, we remember that even in chaotic and uncertain times, the creative imagination is our ally. When the world feels overwhelming, it is the stories we create and embody that remind us we are free.

Let’s embark on this journey together—into the invisible realm, where healing, liberation, and mythic magic await.

This event is in-person only. Tickets are sliding scale $45 - $75.
