Stories that Heal and Reveal 

To be modern can mean to have fallen out of story or be living in the tension of opposing stories as we find in contemporary culture. Yet, stories are how we understand our lives and how we make meaning of even the most overwhelming and tragic aspects of life. When we fall out of story we don't simply fall to the ground, rather we fall into the abyss. In that sense, the modern world lives on the edge of a deepening abyss.
One of the few ways to find balance when things are on the edge is through meaningful stories. Myths offer not external knowledge, but inner wisdom and ways of finding solutions to the existential problems and dilemmas we currently face. The next world is hidden in this one and the narrative wisdom found in stories provides the psychic foundation for a genuine awakening. When something awakens in us, something also awakens in the world.
