Carl Schiedenhelm is an architect and artist who has specialized in green design and sustainability. His passions for nature, meditation and community art projects are now joining together in offerings of Earth Mandalas along trails in Western Marin and in building ephemeral labyrinths such as the one he created for the mythica community for Mythica's February 2020 poetry sangha made of thousands of rose petals. Once the pandemic ends, you will find him co- leading myth, art and meditation workshops in the forest with Kayleen Asbo and Taylor Lampson and guiding wilderness expeditions.

Hari Meyers
Hari holds master's degrees in English Literature, (University of California, Berkeley) and Counseling, (Sonoma State University, 1985 MFCC, 1987) but has found his life's true calling in presenting mythological stories for almost thirty years -- at conferences and classes around the globe classrooms. His repertoire ranges from Parzifal and the HOly Grail to Odin and Norse myth to his special favorites: the Ramayana and the Mahabarata.
