By exploring and playing in the mythic realm of characters from legends, stories and movies of the past and today, we can connect with universal and personal archetypes and symbolic images and objects. In the lore of traditional and current Earth Mysteries: we connect with tree, river, wind, owl, bear, moon, gods, goddesses... here and in the Otherworld to bring meaning and magic to our world.

We sing, play, dance, create with an imaginative, mythic consciousness and focus. In the Round Table Council and Sacred Circle
we learn the art of power sharing decision-making and compassionate communication... We find Magic and Mystery in all that we do and all that we are...

AND, we breathe deeply, enjoy the outdoors and have fun!


Magic Myth and Mystery is a continuation of Wog Harts School of Natural Magic... you can see some of the things we do by visiting the Wog Harts archives.


We are offering a mini Magical Camp August 20 - 22, 2008, 9am - 3pm, ages 6 - 9. Those who have never enrolled in any Wog Harts programs can attend one morning session for free (9am - 12pm). See below for details

 

Wog Harts is modeled after Harry Potter's Hogwarts. So we have Potions/Herbology, Introduction to Wizardology, Spirit Arts Class, Divination/Cryptology ... and, of course, an owl that brings messages/mail... In Potions Class we use moon dust to make magical delectible edibles... Assorted faeries, pixies and other magical Beings play with and leave gifts for the students... We have learned the ancient art of shapeshiftng into dragons and other magical creatures... and we are butterflies or faeries bringing Spring or celebrating our dreams in our dance... We learn and practice more skillful ways to communicate and make decisions in sacred council circle...

We are creating magic and enchantment and we are building deep and meaningful relationships with the Earth, the Beings with whom we share our world, our community and each other.

Her basic philosophy is that we are learning all the time. "Education happens everywhere, especially if you keep your eyes and mind open."

Jeanne-Marie Sutherland teaches sacred /sword /Goddess dance, mythic costuming, empowerment arts, bardic arts (storytelling & story craft) and consensus sacred council at Wog Harts. Jeanne-Marie uses the fundamentals of different cultural dance using the symbolism and movement to express metaphors & archetypes. Jeanne-Marie's training as a creative arts therapist and her participation in a consensus community for several years, has given her a unique approach to teaching need-serving communication in sacred circle. She is often engaged in "mythic consciousness" which guides her in creating an environment filled with larger than life archetypes and metaphors. more
