Stringing Stories: Personal Mythos
An introduction to the mythwalking journey!
Stringing Stories is a powerful way to connect - a perfect companion to your SoulCollage practice and other mixed media art. This is a companion workshop to the deeper journey process of Personal Myth, Fairytale and Mythos...Stringing Stories is a beginning workshop that allows for a gentle unfolding, an introduction to the depth process of creating personal myth in art. Join the Stringing Stories teleclass to share the process, see the stories unfold and recognize the power of re-storying life through art.
Explore your:
· storylines, through lines and life-lines
· your personal, ancestral and intuitive history
· your shadow stories "discovery, recovery and healing"
· aspects of self, transitions and life-stages
· connections to spirit and place
Story, symbol and metaphor are universal reflections of that which has deep meaning...they are the ripples of all that has been. These "references and rememberings" are imbedded in the human experience. The stories serve as a reflecting pool of your unique life experience. Stringing together the stories that you choose, or the ones that have chosen you, will bring unexpected gifts and amazing connections to your life.
The class will include an ebook, six tele-calls (live and recorded), guided meditations, wisdom writings (Clarissa Pinkiola Estes and Angeles Arrian), one private check-in with Cat (email or phone) and a private web group for ongoing communication and sharing.

Join a small community of fellow creative travelers to set out on a
self-determined journey. You will be using story lines, your own
life experience, mixed media, collage/SoulCollage and other creative processes through which you will be led in studio or tele-class sessions, guided meditations, ongoing community support and group sharing
via a web group. These creative processes will allow each of you to discover new paths, re-imagining and stepping into your life with
deeper understanding and new perspectives. Experience exciting insights and find new inspiration. Opportunities for healing
and discovery of unexpected gifts, await you.
Personal Myth, Fairytale and Mythos and Stringing Stories are
designed for all artists of life...Specific "art" experience is not
required: this is a journey for the “inner creative” for the artist
and non-artist equally. There will be opportunity for you to
use or explore ideas and art mediums of your choice.
Art changes life, engaging in inner art is a cornerstone of self knowledge. The insight and change that occurs “in the process” is sacred. For more information and images go to More@ Mythos page
