Mythica Community
The great treasuries of the world's traditions have been preserved most powerfully within art, music and literature. Inside these images and stories 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. Mythica is dedicated to preserving the rich culture which is our human heritage and to passing on a legacy of creativity, contemplation and compassion .
The Art of Truly Seeing: Writing with Rilke and Rodin
Three Wednesdays from 10 am - Noon Pacific
January 28, February 4 and 11
Join poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer and cultural historian Kayleen Asbo for an inspiring three week series that weaves together art and poetry as prompts for your own creative writing exploration. No artist affected Rilke more powerfully than the sculptures of Rodin: in his twenties, he wrote extensively on Rodin's process and then became Rodin's private secretary and claimed Rodin taught him how to truly see. As we encounter the fascinating relationship between them and the works they created, we will explore the themes of love and loss, identity and how to face mortality.
