Living Myth Living World year long myth & Ritual Program 2011 dates & info

The Mythsinger Foundation's primary mission is to strengthen the bonds of human communities and their relationship and participation in the living world. Through a deepened understanding of the meaning-making power of the mythological arts. It is our aim to restore the expression and enactment of myth-making (mythopoeic) practice of ritual and performing arts in our everyday life. Mythsinger facilitates and supports projects and programs aimed at the cross-cultural study of mythology and the practical application of mythic insight. Our programs are intended to serve the greater community by applying the disclosures of myth to the sociological, psychological, and spirtual wellbeing of individuals and communities. In this effort we are gathering a consortium of practioners, artists, social-activists and scholars who work to deepen and preserve the mythopoeic intelligence of humanity and culture.

Myths, poems, and songs are the greatest repository of wisdom available to humankind today. Myth informs us, not merely in the spoken word, but in gestures. There are gestures that "sing alive" the deeply rooted memory of the migratory soul—storytellers, dancers, poets, musicians, painters, actors, & ritualists of all kinds carry the wild legacy of the Mythsinger into the streets and houses of the civilized world, bringing the stuff of cultural vitality back to the human heart.


The Mythsinger is devoted to the embodied enactment and expression of mythic insight and the deeper ways of knowing. Speaking the language of wind, rock, and sea, the ancient wandering storyteller, with a harp cradled in his or her arms, is the keeper of culture, the messenger who weaves the wisdoms of different lands and peoples together in the stories we live.

Taliesin, Orpheus, and Kokopelli are archetypal exemplars of the Mythsinger's path. They carry the dreams, melodies, and rhythms of the Earth and the Sky. We invite you to join us in our work to carry the dreams, melodies, and rhythms of the old stories: to restore the wisdom of myth to our individual lives, to our communities, and to society.
