Joseph Campbell once said that a journey, whether it be inner or outer, begins with a yearning to discover something new. It urges you forward, asks you to leave familiar surroundings and cross the landscape to discover the treasure that lies ahead. In this experiential workshop, create a character and take a journey that is both personal and mythological. Guided by Margaret's storytelling voice and inspired by Tarot, journaling and ritual, walk the path of the hero/heroine as you develop a mythic story that will illuminate your own personal one. By following your instincts, you will guide your character into an unknown landscape and acquire the knowledge you need to proceed on your own journey. Bring a journal for writing, a writing utensil and comfortable clothing/shoes for walking around the room.
