Welcome to Mythic Mojo.
Hi! I'm Dr. Catherine Svehla, a storytelling scholar and consultant in the field of mythology/depth psychology, artist, creativity coach, outdoorswoman, lover of the Mysteries and mentor in the mythic life.
I partner with artists and other creative individuals to realize the visions they hold for their projects and their life. I offer counsel and company to people in the midst of life/work transitions.
My clients are often individuals who hear the call to a new or larger purpose. People in need of re-invention or renewal, guided by a deeper relationship to self.
People who want to reframe their questions or their story, and explore the connection between being true to oneself and spiritual growth.
There's an inner knowing, a source of direction and truth in your psyche that's waiting for you to rediscover it.
We often try to change our situation before we truly understand our place in it. We seek advice about the nuts and bolts before we grasp the desires or needs that drive us. Evaluation and goalsetting are important and yet getting to your truth, the essence of your dreams and challenges, requires a deep dive into your source. Your imagining self.
A knowledgeable guide, companion, and witness is often helpful to this exploration.
I began my personal and professional explorations over thirty years ago and they have taken me in a variety of directions. Jungian, archetypal, ecological and transpersonal psychology. Storytelling and the healing arts of craft, dreamwork, ritual, somatics, entheogens, and journaling. The wisdom traditions of Vipassana meditation, breath work, and solitude in nature.
I encourage curiosity and support experimentation, attitudes essential to every form of creativity and creative evolution.
Every consult or mentorship has its own spirit, whether we meet for a few hours or collaborate over weeks or months. Click on the images below for more information about my current services and offerings.
MARCH 2026: Please email me at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.com ion you have questions about how we could work together and/or would like to schedule a 30 minute complimentary explore call. I look forward to talking with you.
Email me if you're looking for a speaker or storyteller, and feel free to contact me with your comments or questions about mythology.
I'm honored to be part of your mythic journey.
Keep the mystery in your life alive.

Is AI currently part of your vision for the new world we're creating? Why or why not?
This is our question for the next Stewarding the Emergent conversation on Thursday March 12, 2026. 5pm PST/8pm EST
We are living in a time of collective transformation, of initiation and awakening.
Part of being in this process is learning to examine, hold, and steward the emergent possibilities that feel fruitful while staying open to the unknown.
We believe that gathering with others and exchanging perspectives is essential to creative receptivity. So-- Is AI currently part of your vision for the new world we're creating? Why or why not?
You’re invited to join Jennessee Rosenberg, Rohini Walker, and Dr. Catherine Svehla for a conversation on this question. Come share your views and learn from others in a respectful community space.

“Down, down deep into the well that is my own true source,
deeper and deeper, emerging on the other side---
a woman, alive with her hands full of gold.” ---e.g. wise
Psyche's Quest is a collaboration with Greater Mysteries and is part of a larger program of springtime offerings. Learn more about Greater Mysteries and the full schedule here.
"Catherine has a gift for tickling out mythological and nuances; she won’t tell you what a myth means, but provides the tools, encouragement, and inspiration that allow people to discover the transformative power of Story in their own lives. I know a number of wonderful mythologists and storytellers who do amazing work but Catherine’s approach is the one that speaks best to me."
---- Stephen Gerringer, editor of Joseph Campbell's Myth and Meaning, author of Myth and Modern Living, community coordinator for the Joseph Campbell Foundation
"Catherine is a true alchemist of myth & metaphor, re-imagining meaning & transforming lives." -- Jennifer Bradpiece, poet, Los Angeles
"I'm beyond grateful for Catherine and her prolific body of work - if you find the opportunity to work with her in any capacity, I highly recommend it!" --- Rohini Walker, Writer, Teacher, Mentor, Joshua Tree CA
