COURSE: EMERGING MYTHOS - THE WHY AND HOW OF METAMODERN THEOPOETICS
with Brendan Graham Dempsey
This new course from PARALLAX ACADEMY’s “Rebuilding Spirituality” curriculum summons participants to a deep-dive into meaning-making, inviting reflection on the historical evolution of spirituality and personal contribution to our time’s great task of re-imagining the sacred.
Your psychopomp is Brendan Graham Dempsey, whose lectures will help frame this neo-alchemical adventure within its greater cosmic evolutionary context. How did we come to need to “rebuild spirituality” in the first place, and what are the theological assumptions behind such a project? What did the grand narratives of yesteryear do to our sense of meaning, and what stories do we (need to) tell now?
While probing to the root of these questions through engagement with various readings, lectures, and discussions, willing hermeticists are also invited to craft their own symbolic responses, which will be shared in discussion circles and workshopped during weekly ‘Sabbath Scriptorium Hour.’*
This playfully serious, ironically sincere exploration of emerging mythos will offer both deep conceptual grounding in issues related to the metanarrative of metamodern spirituality as well as opportunities to participate in heart-felt, embodied, and communal form. In the process, we will not only imagine what cosmic history entails for the future of myth and meaning; we will actively, consciously help bring it into being.
*This artistic aspect of the course is at-will; participants can also attend purely for discussion.
The 4 week course will start January 15, 2023. Registration is open now.

The word ‘parallax’ stems from the old greek παράλλαξις parállaxis, which means to shift the viewpoint of the observer. The name suggests psychoactive and alternative sense-making, as opposed to mainstream narratives and ideologies.
Through our work with various European ‘digital tribes’, we create media and Bildung (education), and promote social, cognitive and spiritual development. Moreover, we aim to provide a European counterpoint to the dominant anglo-saxon narratives.
