A myth is a story that never happened, and is always happening. Will you let go of form and live in faith? Learn the ways you shine, stand firm in your integrity, choose what you will give your soul to, and perhaps leave room for a little divine intervention--whether the source of that divinity is without or within? The Mysteries of Diana's Grove will spend a year re-telling, re-storying, re-living this myth into life in our own lives.

Into the Mystery by Lucinda Sohn
Leadership training at Diana’s Grove culminates in a year devoted to a Rite of Passage (a “Rites year”) in which a team of Mysteries who have spent years serving the Mystery School community and honing their skills serve as staff for the year, transforming themselves fully into leaders, healers, priestesses…and being recognized as such by the community.

Leadership with Intention by Canyon 
Leaders are mythologists; they tell stories to those they lead. Politicians tell stories of strength, stability, sincerity, suspicion and supremacy. CEOs relate stories of success, stories of fidelity or change, and stories of corporate responsibility. Spiritual leaders offer a tapestry of tales that weave together history, faith, relationship and purpose. Any leader can author any story for the group he or she leads. These stories may be consciously chosen or they may be shared without awareness. Stories told responsibly are the ones with the most power.
| An Interview with Tim Tingle by Shaun Perkins
 Stories are keys that unlock life’s mystery, beauty and purpose. A bold statement, yes. And I believe it. Stories change our lives. They tell us about ourselves and shape our identity. Choctaw storyteller Tim Tingle says, “The stories of your family and friends are your key to who you are and how you came to be.” *****************************************************************************
The Four Levels of Reality by Patricia
 What is reality? According to Jean Houston – scholar, philosopher, and researcher in the field of human capability – we have actually developed four different levels of reality that we roll together in our mind and act on as though the resulting construct is “real”.

by River
 I fell in love with ritual because of the stories. I remember reading stacks of books on mythology when I was a kid – particularly the Greek myths. By the age of nine I could tell you who Zeus was, what realm Poseidon ruled, which goddess invented olive trees, and how to approach the Oracle at Delphi. I devoured fairy tales, from Sleeping Beauty to the Bremen Town Musicians. It was rare to find a story that didn’t grab me, and send my imagination off and running.
