Each month, Lian tells a mythical tale\u2026 as spell, as memory, as invitation... not to be analysed or consumed, but to be felt, stirred, remembered as a magical doorway into your own soul. She first shared this live with our beloved community in UNIO, our Academy of the Soul, in which we continue to journey more deeply together with it in a month-long quest. To join us for the next mythical quest, you can join UNIO here: bemythical.com\/unio In this telling, Lian explores the mythic figure of Pygmalion\u2026 a sculptor who turns away from the women of his world and instead pours his longing into the creation of his own ideal. Together, we walk with her through the temple of Venus, through stone and flesh, through the spaces where our own unspoken dreams might come to life. This is more than a tale of a man and a statue\u2026 it is a meditation on what we create when we shape from love, and how the act of creating shapes us in return. It reminds us of the timeless dance between the human and the divine\u2026 how longing leads us to the altar, how offerings made in faith and beauty may yet be answered. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own sacred longings, and how these desires might be the soul\u2019s way of sculpting something real into existence. We\u2019d love to know what YOU think about this week\u2019s show. Let\u2019s carry on the conversation\u2026 please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you\u2019ll receive from this episode: The longing beneath creation: Pygmalion\u2019s yearning reminds us that what we create from devotion holds the power to awaken not just the object of our love, but something within us too. The mystery of transformation: As in myth, so in life\u2026 what seems lifeless may stir to breath beneath our touch, when desire meets ritual and prayer. The sacred act of shaping: Whether in art, relationships, or the soul\u2019s unfolding, we are always creating\u2026 and in turn being created.
