Journeys to the underworld, what the ancient Greeks called nekyia, appear throughout mythology and continue to shape many stories today. They offer a powerful lens through which to understand the losses, struggles, and transformation that are part of every life.
In this richly illustrated evening, mythologist Dr. Catherine Svehla invites us into the symbolic landscape of the underworld, exploring the myths, images, and archetypes that illuminate this imaginal realm. Together we will consider the underworld as a living dimension of the psyche where endings become beginnings, identities dissolve, and unexpected forms of wisdom, creativity, and renewal reside.
