Mythica Foundation For Education, Contemplation and the Arts
“Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life"
― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
The great treasuries of the world's traditions have been preserved most beautifully and most powerfully within art, music and literature. Inside the images and stories of the past are seeds that can ignite our own imaginations, connecting us to both the ancient wisdom of the past and illuminating the latent wisdom that lies within each human heart. The Mythica Foundation is dedicated to preserving the rich culture which is our human heritage and to passing on a legacy of creativity, contemplation and compassion through our classes, workshops, pilgrimages and community gatherings.
