Journey to the creative center of the collective unconscious,
awaken the ancient storyteller,
and write what destiny has brought you into the world to say.

Just as no parent gets out of child-rearing unscathed, no writer gets out of storytelling unchanged. While we transform our characters through the story arc we create, so they in turn and watch us transform in the telling ... as if the dreamed become aware of the dreamer.

Writing for the Soul of the World

The Mythopoetic Writing Movement

“Mythopoetic” comes from the Greek μυθοποιία (muthopoiía), meaning the art of myth making. In the Universal Grammar of Story, mythopoetic writing means orchestrating the critical mythic elements of

  1. archetypal figures (be they fantastical in fiction or quite real in nonfiction)
  2. dialectical forces of character chemistry
  3. the building blocks of story structure
  4. rhythm of timing
  5. the unconscious presentation of a single beloved moral from universally accepted mystical philosophy.
  6. society’s need for a given story
  7. the writer’s need for a given story
