Whether you’re seeking personal clarity or looking to weave mythic insight into your professional work, these sessions offer a shared sanctuary for reflection and discovery.
Myths are more than old tales, they’re living maps of the soul. In our time together, we’ll place your questions, challenges, and aspirations alongside timeless stories, unearthing archetypes and symbols that illuminate both inner growth and outward expression.
-
For the Seeker: If you feel adrift or at a crossroads, we’ll explore myths that mirror your journey, helping you integrate lessons, restore direction, and reclaim creative energy.
-
For the Practitioner: If you’re a creative, therapist, astrologer, educator, or wellness practitioner yearning to deepen your knowledge of myth and bring its power into your work, we’ll examine narrative patterns, discuss practical applications, and craft story‑based tools you can share with others.
Guided one‑to‑one by mythologist Maria Souza, each 60‑minute session is an invitation to courage, creativity, and transformation, rooted in the symbolic wisdom of ancient tales and tailored to your unique path.
Private Mythical Sessions
“If you live with the myths in your mind, you will find yourself always in mythological situations.
They cover everything that can happen to you.
And that enables you to interpret the myth in relation to life, as well as life in relation to myth.”
Joseph Campbell

Hear from Those Who’ve Walked the Path with Me.
“Maria's work is authentic - she is in deep alignment with the work she is here to do - to support women through the lifespan using Jungian depth psychology via vessels of myths and fairytales. She is a connoisseur of fairytales, a master storyteller and is deeply insightful when it comes to the meat of the work: symbols, alchemy and how to apply the meaningful questions arising from these tales to ignite change in our lives now and in the future, while opening up alternative ways to look at our past. I have discovered new perspectives about my own life and apply the treasure gained in my psychotherapeutic work with clients daily. Maria - may your work continue as a sacred blessing to you and to others.” Oraine, Caribbean
