Boe and Rainer came together through the School of Mythopoetics in 2023. As partners and collaborators they have journeyed together for the past 2 years, exploring mythic landscapes within and without. Whether they are facilitating together, jamming about each others writing, or immersed in their own individual growth processes, their shared passion for mythopoetic wisdom and understanding infuses just about every part of their lives.

  • Rainer is a bardic storyteller and somatic practitioner. As a facilitator of men’s work, embodiment, and ritual storytelling events, Rainer weaves his understanding of myth, culture, and the body into his various roles and writing. He is currently working on a book exploring the mythic resonances of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    Rainer has guided groups and individuals into deep states of embodied presence through breath and bodywork for over ten years. During his musical studies in Portland, Oregon he found himself drawn to the literature of the Mythopoetic Movement of the 90’s. His formal study of music soon became woven with an avid exploration of myth.

Kirsten Louise Webb

School of Mythopoetics Head, Facilitator, Cofounder
Storyteller, Writer, Facilitator, Ritual & Performing Artist

Kirsten Louise Webb is of Samí, French Canadian, Irish, Scottish, Scandinavian, and German ancestry, and lives amidst the lands and waters of the Salish Sea. A devotee of the mysteries of intuition, embodiment, and living as the Earth, she spent almost two decades traversing the underworlds of chronic illness, including a couple years living almost entirely outdoors.

Daniel Robert

Astro-mythic Wanderer, Facilitator

Daniel is an astrologer, facilitator, professional mediator, artist, and embodied movement practitioner and teacher. His Irish and Italian roots anchor him with a fiercely devotional and rebellious spirit, as well as good taste, and a propensity for well-crafted dark beer.

He lives and works on the Traditional and Unceded territory of the Quw’utsun’ and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples in a place now known as Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Daniel is devoted to offering his gifts in service to the re-emergence of village, the healing of the masculine, and the re-rooting of human beings as guardians of celestial and earthly time through embodied men’s work, astro-mythological guiding, and facilitating processes for personal and collective revolution.

After years of living and leading in intentional community projects, Daniel is now building his own home on a communal farm. Daniel holds a blue-belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and when not building, facilitating or grappling, can be found playing music, at the skatepark, or crafting illustrations.
