FEMININE MYTH MAKING

A Mystery School For Mythic Women

YOUR BODY IS MADE FOR MYTH MAKING

Primordial stories are being birthed through women’s bodies.

This has always been the case. Our imaginations are bright hearth’s shimmering with images waiting to be gathered and woven into culture.

This is not metaphor and not just for "gifted" women. It is your somatic inheritance.

The problem? Patriarchal culture taught you to abandon your body. You (and your feminine ancestors) were cultural desecrated because patriarchy fears your power. The story of destruction, extraction, and war has reigned supreme as a result.

This 6-month journey is a reclamation of our mythopoetic role as culture birthers. You somatic practices, the image-making capacity, the mythic framework, and the pathway to becoming your own culture-birther.

You may have been robbed of the most powerful creative practice there is: approaching your body as vessel, your inner imagination as sacred, your myth-making gifts as medicine. But the reclamation is here and now.

So what is Myth, really?

Jospeh Campbell believed that mythology is a function of biology, a byproduct of the soma’s imagination. He says that human imagination, for which our entire culture and social fabric is built from, is grounded in the energies of the body. Our collective patterns of embodiment are reflected in our myths. The worlds our myths reveal are actually revealing how our bodies are functioning in the world.

Myths are are models for shaping the self and the possibilities of culture. Myths express a cosmological view of the social and personal world. We are all therefore participants in myth making because we are embodied.

Why have we forgotten this?

You were socialized to abandon your somatic imagination, to deny your mythic impulses.

To perform instead of embody. To consume instead of create. To put your worth, your voice, and your validation in external systems that demand your disconnection. You learn how to survive in a patriarchal world, not how to birth a new one.

You learned to equate your body with object. To create content instead of culture. To mistake performance for power. You learn how to comfort, not how to break new ground.

Your creative practice, authentic expression, and medicine is not served this arrangement and trying to stay "relevant" in order to survive is leading to burn out.

It remembers how to generate images from sensation. How to organize experience into myth. How to weave personal story into collective pattern. To weave with the mystery.

Somatic imagination connects us to living myth.

What is awakening inside of us is not fantasy. It is not just for "creative" women. It is our shared birthright as women.

Your body was designed to do this. The somatic unconscious, the image-making faculty, the mythic organizing capacity—it's all there. Waiting for you to remember.

What comes alive when we remember will shape the world as we know it.

BUT YOUR BODY REMEMBERS.

Reclaiming your body as myth-maker is essential for healing connected to your root—be it creative expression, cultural belonging, ancestral wisdom, or collective liberation.

When you reclaim your somatic imagination, you're not just healing yourself.

You're breaking the spell that says:

  • Our bodies are objects to be managed

  • Creation happens in the mind alone

  • Images are for consumption, not generation

  • Myth is ancient history, not living practice

  • We are content creators, not culture birthers

You're becoming your own image-maker. A myth-weaver. A culture-birther. An ancestor in the making

That's the revolution.

THE TRUTH PATRIARCHAL CULTURE KEPT FROM YOU

“Working with Jenny feels like moving across the great river marking life from death, waking from dreaming, or what we hilariously think we know from what we know we don’t know. The embodied, in-mother-nature experience of approaching the river of mystery, entering, being enveloped, swimming, dwelling, deepening, wandering, lingering, all the while moving and crossing, then surfacing, fully emerging, and stepping onto and resting on the other shore. This dynamic in itself, this process, is the sacred stuff.”- Chantell Foss, 5 Rhythms Teacher

Whats included:

  • We have inherited a mythic story of disconnection, disembodiment, and dislocation. ON a cultural level this can be understood as the wasteland. Patriarchy, colonization, empire, consumerism, structures of destruction and war, all emerged from a story. So many are asleep because it is too much to feel the wasteland this story has created. But the only way into a new story is through our somatic inheritance, which includes the Wasteland.

    Core Work:

    • Identifying personal disconnection from somatic knowing

    • Tending our personal grief and collective grief

    • Recognizing inherited wasteland stories vs. self-determined myths

    • Beginning somatic awareness practices focused on emotional cleansing, resourcing, releasing burdens and capacity building

    • Introduction to the concept of "somatic imagination"

    Practices:

    • Daily body scanning and sensation journaling

    • Mapping the "wasteland" in your life (where you feel disconnected from embodied wisdom)

    • Collecting images/symbols that call to you without understanding why

    • First sharing circle: witnessing each other's starting points

  • As we awaken our bodies capacity for traveling through the cultural wasteland of our collective inheritance, we are simultaneously re-vitalizing our soma through our tears. As the grief moves our somatic imagination comes alive. We begin to connect to our body as myth-maker. We begin to perceive with a wider lens. Our body begins to grow its own vision for the future. Not just our own future, but for a wider ecology of belonging.

    Core Work:

    • Developing relationship with the body's image-making capacity

    • Understanding the difference between societal images, somatic images, and mythic images

    • Learning to trust bodily impulses in creative practice

    • Exploring the feminine as "birthers of culture"

    Practices:

    • Movement-based image generation (dance, gesture, posture exploration)

    • Creating from sensation rather than concept

    • Mirror work and self-witnessing

    • Partnered somatic attunement exercises

  • To be a culture worker or visionary is  not a label we claim for ourselves, it is a path that we walk. This path is inherently mysterious. We cannot know where we are going. We are guided by a deeper story (myth) and we are met with cross roads and detours. We encounter archetypal patterns and initiations. Approaching and entering our own mythic path requires ceremony and ritual as we begin to weave our mythic embodiment out into the world.

    Core Work:

    • Understanding personal myth vs. archetypal patterns

    • Studying how myths organize experience along "the ark of soul initiation"

    • Identifying your soul's initiatory journey

    • Connecting inner experience to outer expression

    Practices:

    • Personal mythology writing/creating

    • Studying mythic patterns that resonate with your experience

    • Ritual creation and enactment

    • Working with symbols that emerge from your body

    Creative Output: Your first "chapter" of personal myth in your chosen medium

  • Theme: We Are Woven

    Core Work:

    • Recognizing patterns in the embodied self that connect to collective mythic body

    • Understanding interwoven nature of personal and collective stories

    • Learning to hold individual experience within larger context

    • Exploring the "somatic unconscious" as shared territory

    Practices:

    • Group mythmaking and co-creation

    • Witnessing and being witnessed in vulnerability

    • Exploring ancestral/lineage connections through the body

    • Creating mythic images in nature or sacred space

  • Wisdom is born through direct experience. As we expand our capacity to receive from the mythic realm, as we root deeper into our somatic inheritance as women, we begin to see beyond our own direct experience. Expanded somatic awareness that is translated through our self-expression and embodiment holds the seeds of wisdom that is transmitted beyond the mind. 

    Core Work:

    • Expanding somatic awareness

    • Understanding disconnection from nature as part of the disconnection from mythic wisdom

    • Developing "mythic images that anchor us to not just our bodies, but the earth’s wisdom

    • exploring how our own direct experience with the mythic shapes our embodiment and authentic expression

    • Activate our voices so that we can be transmissions of mythic wisdom

“I am still processing the ceremonial photoshoot. I invited Jenny in to capture a major threshold crossing. Embodying and expressing the depths of my Underworld journey. It was deep, raw and powerful. In this ceremony, I was able to track backwards into 2 years of grief, death, raw pain, mystery, depth, wisdom and power. It felt so tender and important to step deeper into embodying my story, my artistry, my expression. After this experience, I feel more connected to the importance of my story and this art. The world needs stories of darkness- real, raw, and messy. Women’s experiences of touching Death and coming back to life as a Wise Woman. A wild woman, a woman unafraid of the dark. Jenny helped me to honour this woman inside of me and celebrated the deep courage it takes to be seen in the the full spectrum experience. This experience is alchemical gold- Paige Penny, Councillor, Grief Tender and Ritualist

This Offering is for you if:

→ You're a woman creating content about liberation, justice, or healing but you can feel you're still operating from your head, performing for validation, stuck in the very disconnection you're trying to address

→ You have a creative practice (photography, writing, art, movement) that feels like it should mean something deeper, but right now it just feels like "content" and you don't know how to bridge that gap

→ You scroll through images constantly saving, collecting, trying to understand what resonates but you can't access the images that want to emerge from YOUR body, YOUR experience, YOUR wisdom

→ You know intellectually that your body holds wisdom, but you've lived in your mind for so long that you don't know how to actually feel or trust what your body is trying to tell you

→ You've lost your creative voice or never felt you had one. You're always referencing, replicating, or reacting to what others have made rather than trusting what wants to emerge from you

→ You're exhausted by "content creation" culture but don't know what the alternative is. You feel complicit in something extractive but you also want to create and share and connect

→ You're tired of consuming frameworks created to serve capitalist production—you need space to discover what YOUR body's mythology actually is outside of this framework

→ You want to create work that addresses root causes (patriarchy, colonization, capitalism, racism) but everything you make feels surface-level because you're analyzing from your mind instead of transmuting from your body

→ You feel isolated in this longing—like you're the only one who feels this particular ache to create differently, to live more embodied, to stop performing and start being

→ You want to be part of something intimate and held—you're done with large courses where you're anonymous, where there's no real witnessing, where community means a group of strangers performing connection

→ You sense that your disconnection from your body is directly related to our collective disconnection from the earth, and you want your creative practice to be part of ecological healing, not just personal expression

→ You're ready to stop asking "what should I create?" and start asking "what wants to be born through me?"—but you need guidance, practice, and witnessing to make that shift

→ You're hungry for myth, ritual, and meaning-making but you're not religious and most "spiritual" spaces feel appropriative or surface-level—you need something that honors the sacred without the spiritual bypassing

→ You have a deep knowing that women have always been culture-makers, story-weavers, and image-birthers—and you want to reclaim that lineage in a way that's authentic to YOU, not performative or romanticized

→ You're ready to commit 6 months to your own unfolding—not because you're broken and need fixing, but because you're ready to remember what you've always known
