In this show, Chris and Lian explored the intersection of shamanism and working with myths and archetypes.
They discuss the power of myths to reveal truth and teach us about ourselves and the universe. They also delve into the different ways that myths are understood in Western Vs. shamanic cultures, with the Western perspective often viewing myths as symbolic archetypes and the shamanic perspective seeing them as living, magical stories.
They highlight the importance of relating to myths from the heart and intuition rather than the analytical mind, and the role of myths in guiding us to live in harmony and prepare for death.
Overall, Lian and Chris invite listeners to build a bridge into the mythical reality.
