Dr. Dylan Odhner

Dr. Dylan C. Odhner is a mythologist, educator, and labyrinth designer whose work bridges scholarship and lived spiritual practice. He holds a Ph.D. in Mythological Studies from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where his research explored what he calls the “Foreshadow” archetype. As co-founder of Golden-Thread Labyrinths, he designs and facilitates meditative spaces and myth-based workshops that unite storytelling, ritual, and somatic reflection.

Dylan’s teaching career spans a decade in humanities education, and his presentations have been featured through academic, artistic, and interfaith venues across the U.S. and abroad. His current writing project, The Thesean Thesis: Logic and Fallacy in the Myth of Theseus, traces the emergence of reason through mythic archetype.

Whether building a community labyrinth or guiding a discussion on ancient texts, Dylan’s work seeks to reveal what myth remembers about being human—and to help others rediscover the threads of meaning that guide them through complexity toward renewal.
