WHAT THIS COURSE IS
Not a writing workshop.
A remembering.
Every human life has mythic structure. A wound that became a calling. A departure from the known world. An ordeal that changed everything. A return, carrying something that wasn't there before. Most of us have never been taught to see it this way — but once you do, you cannot unsee it.
Writing Your Personal Myth is a small-group course in which we study the structure and elements of classical mythology — the hero's journey, the heroine's journey, the wound as gift, the threshold crossing — and use them as a lens to understand and write our own stories.
This is not a memoir course. It is not about telling your story as it happened. It is about discovering the mythic pattern beneath your story — the one that makes it universal, transformative, and true in the deepest sense — and writing it in the language of myth.
The result is a piece of writing unlike anything you've written before: a personal myth that is both intimately yours and archetypal, both specific and sacred. And the process of writing it changes you in ways that outlast the page.
WHAT WE DO TOGETHER
The shape of
the course
Each session builds on the last, moving you deeper into your own story and the mythic structure that holds it.
I
The anatomy of myth
We study the elements of classical myth — structure, archetype, symbol, threshold, ordeal, gift, return — and begin to see them alive in the stories we already know and love.
II
The wound and the call
Every myth begins with a disruption. We locate yours — the wound, the loss, the moment the world changed — and begin to understand it not as something that happened to you, but as the beginning of your story.
III
The threshold crossing
We identify the moment you left the known world — or were pushed from it — and explore the wilderness, the underworld, the dark forest that followed. Shamanic journeywork and guided writing deepen this exploration.
IV
Helpers, allies, and trials
Mythology is populated with guides and gatekeepers. We name yours — the people, dreams, animals, and moments that appeared when you needed them most — and discover what they were carrying.
V
The gift and the return
Every myth ends with a return, carrying something new. We locate your gift — what your particular ordeal gave you, what only you can bring — and write the myth to its completion.
VI
Sharing and witnessing
We close with a sacred circle of sharing. Each participant reads or shares their myth, and is witnessed by the group. This act of being truly seen — in the truth of your story — is itself a form of healing.
"I began a year-long journey with Rose Wollf and discovered in her a patient, steady guide who opened shamanic pathways entirely new to me. The circle became an unexpected mirror — the insights of others adding depth and clarity to my own process. The course challenged me to return again and again to parts of myself I had long avoided.
What unfolded was more than a writing practice. It gave me the courage to step into public writing, hold my creative work with new confidence, and finally see where trauma had distorted my self-image. My archetypal work came alive. My mythic framework sharpened. Writing my personal myth became a living practice of integration.
What began as words on the page has settled deep into my bones. For anyone seeking a container that bridges writing, myth, and shamanic practice into a journey of both expression and transformation — this course is a rare gift."
