The old stories hold wisdom for today…
On February 14th at 9 am Pacific time, join us online for storytelling, creative reflection and community conversation. We'll consider the nature of dream, world, self, and soul through the lens of a Celtic story and tease out the significance the story holds in this time of cultural revisioning.
Expect to leave this inquiry with a deeper sense of the relationship between story and cultural transformation and an insight or guiding image to aid your visioning process. If you're a practitioner who works with story (or would like to be), this gathering is also a demonstration of one approach to story work.
From this event you will receive:
1. A deeper sense of the relationship between story and cultural transformation;
2. An insight or guiding image to aid your visioning process;
3. A demonstration of one approach to story work.
This event is $20 but free for paying members of Lampcove.

Engaging with ancient stories like Celtic myths provides a powerful way to connect with deeper aspects of ourselves and the world around us. These narratives often act as mirrors reflecting cultural values, fears, and hopes, offering timeless wisdom that remains relevant. From personal experience participating in story-based workshops, I have found that such stories open a space not only for reflection but for active cultural transformation. Using the lens of dream, world, self, and soul—as this event proposes—invites a holistic approach to understanding both inner and outer realities. It encourages blending imagination and conscious insight, which can lead to profound shifts in perception and action. The guiding images and symbols drawn from myths often resonate deeply, becoming anchors for one’s visioning process. For those interested in story work, the demonstration offered here serves as a practical introduction to how myths and fairy tales can be employed within creative and therapeutic contexts. This approach connects to broader movements in depth psychology and mythological studies dedicated to harnessing stories for healing and growth. Additionally, involvement in community gatherings such as those organized by Lampcove builds supportive networks of people passionate about cultural and personal transformation. This communal sharing enriches the experience and extends the impact beyond individual insight into collective evolution. Overall, engaging with mythic storytelling fosters an understanding that old stories are living tools—continuously shaping and being shaped by the times. The $20 event fee or free access for Lampcove members offers an accessible way to explore these enriching processes, providing both inspiration and tangible skills useful for anyone drawn to cultural revisioning and inner wisdom cultivation.
