ONLINE COURSE
Mythic Archetypes of Innocence: Trickster, Lover, Seeker, Fool
Jan 23-Apr 24, weekly on Thursdays, 12:00 - 1:00 pm Pacific
A symbol is a mysterious thing. It never “means” just one thing; rather, it’s a living wellspring of meanings. Archetypes — symbolic beings like the Devil, the Queen, or the Lover — recur from our most ancient literature into our present-day television and politics. They’re tools we use to understand ourselves and the world. Join four experts from the Joseph Campbell Foundation to explore some of these mythic archetypes in this online course from Roundtable by the 92nd Street Y, New York.
