consciousness-expansion and deeper healing through the power of myth

In this captivating episode, we explore the profound insights of Paul Rebillot, a Gestalt therapist and former actor, who harmoniously blends the art of storytelling with the transformative process of therapy. His article, "The Power of Story and Myth – The Genesis of an Approach to Healing," takes us on a journey through the time-honored tradition of myth and its pivotal role in shaping human consciousness.

In this episode, you'll discover how:

★Stories and myths have been the vessels of wisdom across various cultures, from the Lakota Sioux to ancient Greece.

★The therapeutic potential of myth can lead to personal transformation and a deeper understanding of our own 'madness.'

★Rebillot's own workshops harness the Hero's Journey archetype, facilitating profound personal change.
