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."

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. We use our stories as personal myths. Often they can be found through our dreams, where we are often informed long before we know intellectually. There are four factors that influence personal myths: biology, culture, interpersonal experiences, and transpersonal experiences and how to work with them. By identifying, evaluating, and transforming dysfunctional myths, beliefs, and worldviews, and working with them you can transform them.

Describes Personal Mythology

Report on An Introductory Lecture by Brita Adkinson of Bellingham IONS

Social artist and architect, Jean Houston, wrote the Introduction to the text Personal Mythology (David Feinstein PhD and Stanley Krippner PhD) which will be available at the NW events for purchase and book signing. It's a wonderful message for our present times, and offers a glimpse into why working with personal and cultural myth is so essential for updating the outmoded stories of our past to meet the dynamic needs of the present, and the future unfolding from within.

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

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.

• Dr. Krippner offered a great deal of very pertinent information for psychotherapists, counselors, psychologists in a kind of compassionate manner. It was possible to work on personal growth and personal issues while learning new techniques and accomplishing CECs. This all took place in a beautiful environment with a great support team.
   

• This has been a remarkable and joyous experience. Dr. Krippner is a true wisdom keeper.
   

• Stanley is a wisdom keeper and a world treasure. In his hands, I have discovered and grown. He is gentle and great fun! I wouldn’t have missed this experience for the world.
   

• He is so full of knowledge. Decades of wisdom and tradition pour out of him – a National Treasure.
   

• This workshop filled a need in me for some guidance. What better way to get this guidance than from my own inner myths. I understand more about myself and in a way I can relate to. The workshop was well organized and flowed smoothly. Dr. Stanley was/is wonderful, charming, and vastly knowledgeable. He gave me permission to do my work.
   

• I love Stanley’ stories and how he genuinely cares about people.
   

• This has been a delightfully inspiring workshop experience from a Master who is extraordinarily gifted in his field.  His extensive knowledge combined with his powerful way to tell stories has been very engaging for me. I intend to explore the application of the content of this workshop with the children on the autism spectrum whom I serve.
   

• Stanley Krippner is a very wise man with an accepting, compassionate interpersonal style. This led us through steps to discovering our personal mythology with grace and good humor. I greatly appreciated the opportunity to begin this work with him.
   

• I was able to identify what I always wanted. Discovering my myth gave me the courage and conviction to begin a new life immediately.
   

• Dr. Krippner’s workshop has had an extraordinarily positive impact on my life!  When I took his class, I had been working on a book project for several years. After his workshop, my motivation to complete my book increased dramatically and six months later I was a published author! The personal mythology workshop arrived at just the right time in my life and I am very grateful to Dr. Krippner for sharing his life’s work with the world.
