‘Riting Myth, Mythic Riting: A Writing Retreat’

Riting personal myth is an act of imagination. Through the mysterious power of language to make what has been dormant or absent present, we will explore several contours of the plot of our individual story that thickens as we live more deeply into its contours and its themes. Using the word riting to capture the felt sense of ritual in writing, we will focus on Myth and Personal Myth and on writing as a ritual way into that liminal space between consciousness and unconsciousness, between personal memory and a larger sense of history.
