about

In this episode I share a few Sufi teaching stories. I love these stories but generally shy away from using them in the podcast because the "moral" seems too obvious. Too corny.

The thing is, I need these messages. And the shift in perspective they offer. And the laugh. And I know, we know, that there are layers and layers to every story. Their simplicity is deceiving. It's easy to get deceived.


All of this-- the big shifts and divides, the confusion about truth and fantasy, and the tremendous possibilities in all of the chaos, motivate me to offer my two-week story work course again.

Step Into the Fairy Glen begins with the new moon of Thursday February 11th and closes with the full moon on February 26th.

If you feel the pull to invigorate your symbolic life, visit mythicmojo.com for details. Is it time for a new vision? For a deeper relationship with the world and with your inner knowing?

"With its concentration, among other things, on awareness and psychological balance – “mindfulness”, if you like – Sufism is a natural antidote to fanaticism."
-- Jason Webster
