Human culture is always shaped by the metaphors of belief and tradition. Your personal mythic experience connects you to others, but it is unique. Making myth is the way humans make meaning and share understanding.
The mythos-sphere is:
• a multi-dimensional imaginal structure made of beliefs, images, stories, songs, dreams, memories, patterns, abstractions, artifacts, treasures and junk, meaningful rituals and unconscious habits, broken traditions and emergent ones
• the collective psyche
• a cosmology
• the container
• the contents
• the third space of participation
Mary Lounsbury is a writer, illustrator, mythologist, creative arts facilitator, maker of stuff, and author of How to Participate in the World.
How to Participate in the World is a manual of creativity and connection: a thoughtful, useful guide to developing your practice in participation with the world around you.
Make things. Tell stories. Be human.
Explore your humanity.
Your presence in the world is the antidote to meaninglessness and an answer to the question,
“What does it mean to be human?”
I know that you have gifts to share with the world.
I know that you are worthy of genuine connections.
This book shows how (and why) to create the opportunity to share yourself with the world:
by developing awareness and connection with the natural world, and facility with creative engagement practices
by learning how to share these experiences with other humans
You creating, creates you.
It’s the process. The process of making things is the process of making you. So what are you making?
