How can we reclaim our connection to a living world in the midst of times of cultural fracture? What practices have formed the foundational basis of ritual traditions across the ages? What is animacy? How do we integrate experiences of rapture into daily life?
These are some of the topics that Josh explores in his ongoing twice-monthly study groups and through the courses he offers. Drawing on a lifetime of study and mythic exploration, Josh dives into questions of deep cultural relevance at a time when people are looking to rediscover a spark of connection to a living world. Weaving storytelling, sound, and vibrant discussion, these videos offer a small taste of what podcast patrons and course participants can expect when they dive into deeper study of the mythic traditions.
