About This Event
Experience the Power of Myth with Pacifica Graduate Institute and the Joseph Campbell Foundation
"I think of mythology as the homeland of the muses, the inspirers of art, the inspirers of poetry. To see life as a poem and yourself participating in the poem is what the myth does for you." Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
