“Mythopoetic Cognition is the engine of mind”

— Stephen T. Asma

Most people never get to know the deep Psyche,

You can start your apprenticeship in mythodynamics right now.

You’ll learn:

  • Imaginal Journeying - Drop into the deep Psyche’s currents

  • Mythosomatic Dream Return - Develop embodied intuition and self-transformation by working with dreams & inner images.

  • Inner Wilds Sailcraft - Practice the core moves of imaginal journeying, and learn to navigate past the hindrances.

  • Imaginal Freestyle - Take on the agency and autonomy to guide your own practice where it wants to go.

  • Archetypal Resonance - Coming Soon

  • Jung Sabbatical - Coming Soon

Our ancestors applied themselves to the forests, the jungles, the seas and the steppe.

Our task is to apply ourselves in the same way to Psyche.

The way they opened an intensity of awareness to their environment and its patterns, so they could learn to participate, guide, and master those patterns — we need to find the same open intense awareness on the patterns of our environment: Psyche.

We don't have to look far for what happens when we fail to do this. In the modern era, almost everything has its roots in both collective and individual psyches. This is true for things as diverse as:

  • the climate

  • mass extinction

  • noise pollution

  • economic downturns

  • dating etiquette

  • bus stop advertisements

All of them are just outer expressions of inner currents from the Psyche. We won’t find peace with any of them until we learn to navigate the psyche as adeptly as ancient wayfinders navigated the sea.

For now, you can find my Inner Wayfinding course here, my Imaginal Literacy intro article here, and my video on “What Does Imaginal Mean” here.

Essentially, it’s all about

a) navigating your own Psyche,

b) navigating collective Psyche, and then

c) recognizing that the modern outer world is an externalization of collective Psyche… and realizing we have a responsibility to learn to navigate it better.
