Hi everyone. I'm Josh, and this is The Emerald,

currents and trends through a mythic lens. The podcast where we explore an ever-changing world

and our lives in it through the lens of myth, story, and imagination.

The Emerald.

All that's happening on this green jewel in space. Hey, everyone, a quick announcement before we begin.

Many of you know this already, but for those who don't, I'm going to be offering a year-long course.

It's called the mythic body, and it's a course of mythic somatic study, and it's meant

really for dedicated students who want to better understand the ecstatic, animate heart of myth

that we explore on the podcast, and to deepen their access to the imaginal core of human

experience, explore the foundational knowledge that's common to global

ritual traditions, and enhance their practice in their own traditions. It's meant to stand as a

contrast to some of the faster-paced learning models that are out there these days. It's meant to be

slow and steady and deliberate, so that we can really get into a deep space together of understanding

and feeling and exploring the mythic. It's going to have deep relevance and deep applicability

for body workers, somatic instructors, therapists, depth psychologists, storytellers, public speakers,

artists, writers, activists, policymakers, community builders, and really all knowledge seekers.

So if this sounds like something that you'd be interested in, you can email me at josh.sh-sh-R-E-I at g-mail.com.

And I can send you more info about the course. It is already almost full,

but don't let that stop you from emailing me because if this course fills up, there are going to be more offerings in the future. I'm really excited to get to explore these topics that we explore

on the podcast on a deeper level together on a more

somatic level and I would love to have you involved in whatever way makes sense so shoot me an
