Have you ever heard the call?
It
comes in the dark of the night, as the days grow shorter
and the
leaves begin to turn to gold and red.
The world begins to turn
inward.
The
descent begins.
And yet, at this time of year, the harvest reaches
its height.
The apples are red in the orchard.
The pumpkins are
plump in the field.
All is ready to be cut down that we might live.
Heed the call.
Probably our most introspective event, Mythical Journeys is an
opportunity for deeper spiritual work than might be achieved at
our other events. Small
groups of seekers will be guided through intensive experiences
by specially-chosen facilitators. Each facilitator will choose
a mythical focus to inform their work, many based upon descent
and harvest myths.
We've negotiated a change in date to Columbus Day Weekend which
we hope will allow those with limited vacation time to attend.
If you don't live too far away, the event is set up so you can
work Friday and still arrive at the event Friday night in time
for your track to begin. Since this event involves deeper work,
all attendees must arrive by Friday evening at 8 PM so that they
don't miss anything. In addition, we're asking that children be
left at home for this event.
New
this year, we're splitting off the meals from the registration
price for this event, however, we will be offering a discount if
you buy all of your meals ahead of time. Eating
at the dining hall has the benefit of bringing much of the group
together several times a day, building community, and also allowing
our seekers the freedom to work on their deep work without having
to worry
about where their next meal is coming from. We'll be working closely
with the dining hall staff to try to improve the quality of the
food. Most tracks will not allow much time for food preparation,
so we recommend against it, however, you are welcome to bring
easy-to-prepare foods.
