Performing Arts & the Outdoor Stage

CSS has been involved with performing & experimental arts since its inception.  We see the performing arts as an extension of the healing arts with a symbiotic relationship to mythic cultures around the world.  The performing arts come from our relationship to spirituality & have developed from that root; we consider these roots essential to all elements of what we do at CSS.

We have a diverse performing & experimental arts program including dance, flying trapeze, aerial dance, music, drawing & painting, mask-making,  puppetry, story-telling & theater of all kinds.  We offer programs for children, adults & professionals.

Some of the amazing organizations offering programs at CSS with us include:

The Vanaver Caravan


AiRealistic


Trapeze Club


WayFinder Experience

  • The Center for Symbolic Studies is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) healing and performing arts center exploring the psyche through the window of myth. Our mission is to provide a theater of opportunities for conscious myth-making, leading to personal growth and communal awareness. We see this as essential to a creative participation in the richness and variety of human cultures and in our extended ecological family.
  • "Myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation. Religions, philosophies, the arts, the social forms of primitive and historic man, prime discoveries in science and technology, the very dreams that blister sleep all boil up from the basic magic ring of myth."
    — Joseph Campbell
