Exploring the reality of myth, metaphor and the realm of the transcendent, Dennis P. Slattery guides listeners on a journey to developing a mythic way of knowing in themselves. These audio lectures delve into the dynamic energy that poetics and depth psychology share, as well as the underlying unities found among depth and archetypal psychology, and the making or shaping of a mythos (both personal and collective).<\/p>\n
The pioneering work of mythologist, Joseph Campbell, is also brought into focus. Myths, writes Campbell, are powerful ways of positioning us \u2013 or better said, dispositioning us \u2013 to be accessible to the realm where language often fails. The realm of transcendent realities that myths point us toward but leave us to choose to yield to. Both myth and metaphor allow us to enter domains not readily accessible to the rational mind.<\/p>\n
The lectures further consider the crucial role that our dreams, our creative lives \u2013 and our ability to be still long enough to hear the coherent voice of creativity \u2013 play within each of our souls.<\/p>\n
The course was developed with a listener in mind who is curious about their own creative and imaginal images that help to define their everyday reality. Subsequently, curiosity, wonder, and quest(ioning) will be part of your listening journey toward reconnection and wholeness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
