I am thrilled to celebrate Pride month with todayâs guest, the Mystical millennial, Gregory Ganymedes (âga-ni-MEE-deezâ) (he/him)! Greg is the gaydreamer behind The Ganymede Project: an exploration of the queer masculine psyche through depth psychology, archetype, spirituality, and myth. Driven by the desire for more, more, MORE queer-centered psychological content, Gregory has carved out a slice of the internet dedicated to featuring imagery and quotations which appeal to queer psyche. A lifelong dreamer and seasoned Jungian analysand, he hosts a bimonthly Queer Menâs Virtual Dream Circle open to GBTQ dreamers who identify as male at least partially. He also finds amusement in writing essays in which he applies a queer Jungian perspective to various psychological and secular subjects of whimsy. He isâin order of importanceâa devoted husband and father, a conservatory-trained oboist, and administrative professional.
Join us for an animated journey into the blue realms of soul!
Thanks to Lucas Bakker: Producer/editor/musican/composer-backstage wizard!
