  Hindu myth, with its blue and many-armed divinities, can seem overwhelming and confusing. Just beneath this exotic surface, though, lies an exciting world rich in heroic epic, iconic gods, and familiar themes - a world which also provides a window into Indian geography and culture. Myth camp time will be spent exploring classic stories and creating culturally-linked hands-on art projects related to our stories. Come meet Vishnu, Shiva, Kali, Durga, Ganesh, and many others! Instructor Tracey Kindall is MAHC’s director and also teaches mythology at the North Fork School and BSU’s Osher Institute. She holds an MS degree in Folklore from the University of Oregon.
