In the Footsteps of Pan
		... exploring the roots of creativity
...a workshop for personal growth on the island of Tinos, Greece using 
dreams, sandplay, movement, music, and the active imagination.
	
led by Priscilla Rodgers, Dennis McCarthy, Julie Rose and flutist Steve 
Gorn

				 May 25- June4, 2007

Pan... is the most elusive of the Greek gods and perhaps the most 
important in light of today’s world situation, where a deeper 
connection to the earth and our own creative roots is desperately 
needed. Pan is the the unpredictable, the unscheduled, the missing 
state of our consciousness. He is life at its deepest. Like the wind 
over tall grass or sunlight over water, he is the essence of the 
instinctual life, free from imprisoning judgment. It is said that the 
sound of his flute brought panic if one resisted it and great joy if 
one surrendered to it.
	Through dreams, dance, music, sandplay, art and the active imagination 
we will anticipate the unexpected and use the myth of Pan,as well as 
the other rich myths indigenous to Tinos island, in an improvisational 
format.
	Each day begins with dream groups, followed by sandplay on the nearby 
beach. Each evening we will use a variety of active imagination 
techniques to explore and express the instinctual. Afternoons are free 
for exploring the lovely and wild island of Tinos.
	Tinos is one of the most traditional and untouristed of the Greek 
islands, where the mythic roots are still quiet visible. In ancient 
times it was the site of a Snake Goddess cult, a healing center to 
Poseidon, and the home of  Boreas, the wind God. In recent times a 
healing icon of the Virgin was unearthed there, attracting  thousands 
of pilgrims each year.  	
  	We will spend a total of three nights in Athens and six on Tinos. On 
Tinos we will be staying at the Porto Raphael Hotel, a warm, family run 
place set on a bluff overlooking the blue Aegean Sea and serving the 
best food in Greece.
  This is an opportunity to work with myths in the setting where they 
arose.

westerners recognized to have captured the subtlety and beauty of 
Indian music.Inspired by the Sanskrit proverb, “the universe hangs on 
sound”, Steve’s teaching explores music as a voice of the soul, a 
bridge to the mythic world, and a yoga capable of synchronizing our 
realtionship to society and nature. Pan, krishna, the pied piper and 
Kokopelli - all are the call of the mythic flute.
