Your unique personal myths, operating mostly as “strange attractors” outside your awareness, are guiding your life’s path. This workshop is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have one of the world’s foremost experts help you find the myths you are living and show you how to find the greatest opportunity for personal transformation precisely in the dysfunctional parts, that which is no longer working.

Dr. Stanley Krippner is an internationally known and loved teacher, co-author of both Personal Mythology and The Mythic Path, past President of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, recipient of numerous awards and the author of hundreds of articles. There are few people alive today with such an understanding of how to help you find these unconscious stories that are living through you.

Personal mythology is an approach to personal transformation using the development of participants' personal stories about existential human issues for self healing and personal growth. There are also cultural, institutional, ethnic, and familial myths which influence our personal myths.

The introductory lecture will show how to use our stories as personal myths. It will describe the four factors that influence personal myths: biology, culture, interpersonal experiences, and transpersonal experiences and how to work with them.

Suggestions will be given for identifying, evaluating, and transforming dysfunctional myths, beliefs, and worldviews.

As the Greek philosopher Epictetus wrote, many centuries ago, "It is not what happens to us that is important, it is how we react to what happens to us that is important."

Describes Personal Mythology

This work is based on Krippner and Feinstein’s books/articles on dreams and personal mythology which draws upon the work of such writers as Carl Jung, Albert Ellis, Joseph Campbell, Jean Houston, Ram Dass, Dan McAdams, June Singer, and Stanislav and Christina Grof.

The workshop uses a variety of exercises (artwork, movement, and Gestalt techniques) are some of the exercises to demonstrate what's involved in changing a dysfunctional myth into one that functions well in a person’s life. Learn to identify/work with personal myth for your healing or to guide your patients, clients, students.

1) Personal Myths are those beliefs and worldviews that consciously or unconsciously influence our decisions and give meaning to our lives. To understand how personal myths are formed, continue to develop, and shape our lives.

2) Some of these myths are helpful and some are harmful. Learn to identify influences on participants’ personal myth: biology, culture, interpersonal experiences, and transpersonal experiences. Learn how the technology of shaping personal myth would apply to the development of self and others’ personal growth.

3) Learn experientially how to evaluate and transform dysfunctional myths, beliefs, and worldviews and develop a set of skills to continue this inner work as well as apply the tools of this technology to helping others.

For self healing & personal growth and for all those who heal others.

A fresh and intriguing synthesis of a mythological perspective with contemporary psychological methods.
Joseph Campbell

Personal myths structure our awareness and point us in the direction that becomes our path.
