"Creating Yourself Through Myth" experience

Northwest Philadelphia writer and teacher will be co-leading a workshop on "Creating Yourself Through Myth" with the long time art teacher Zipora Schulz on January 12th and 13th in Northwest Philadelphia at the Art Room.

CREATING YOURSELF THROUGH MYTH

If you could enter any story in mythology (from any culture) what character or archetype would you be? Or, if you could create your own myth (a tale of creation, a heroic story or both) what would it be? Come find out in this two-part workshop where you will create the sources of your power through in-class writing exercises and visual arts to delve deeply into the mystery of yourself.

The workshop will be co-led by Janet Mason, writing teacher, and author (most recently) of THEY, a biblical tale of secret genders (Adelaide Books – Lisbon/New York) and Zipora Schulz, long-time art teacher (for children in public school and MALT adult classes)
