Phil Cousineau ~ The Wisdom of the Odyssey: Twenty-Four Life Lessons from Homer’s Epic
Thursday, 8 October, 2026

A longtime collaborator and protégé of mythologist Joseph Campbell and the author of more than forty books, Cousineau reflects on Odysseus as a traumatized warrior seeking healing and reintegration after war, Penelope as an equal partner in wisdom and strategy, and the epic’s enduring lessons about resilience, devotion, identity, uncertainty, and the search for meaning.
