Mythology
This four‑day summer camp introduces students to mythology as a global, cross‑cultural way human beings have made meaning of the world, themselves, and their place within it. Through storytelling, discussion, creative group work, performance, and embodied experience, students explore how myths address fundamental questions of origin, identity, change, and return.
Rather than treating myths as static texts, the course emphasizes mythology as a living tradition—one that continues to shape modern stories, films, and cultural imagination. The week culminates in an experiential labyrinth walk and a reflective exploration of the Hero’s Journey as a recurring narrative pattern.
By the end of the program, students will:
- Recognize mythology as a shared human storytelling tradition across cultures
- Identify recurring mythic themes such as creation, disruption, transformation, and renewal
- Compare parallel myths from different cultural traditions
- Collaborate creatively to interpret and present mythic narratives
- Reflect on the continued presence of mythic patterns in modern stories and personal experience
