Rebecca Armstrong, M. Div was brought up in the legendary Armstrong folk family, where she learned the old stories, tunes and traditions from the fingers and voices of folks who kept them alive. Their home was a frequent resting place for the multitude of bards and balladeers who traveled through the Midwest, including Joseph Campbell, who became a close family friend. Following her interest in sacred stories and teaching to the spirit, Rebecca became an ordained Humanist Minister, receiving Masters degrees from the University of Chicago Divinity School and the Unitarian-Universalist seminary. She has worked with the Joseph Campbell Foundation since its inception in 1990, supporting the Mythological RoundTables around the world and writing the monthly Myth Letter for the Web site. She is one of the co-leaders of the annual Campbell week at Esalen.
