Archetypes and You ~ Discover their Power!

Archetypes are symbols of patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour that reflect your relationship with yourself, others and with the world. Archetypes are neither positive nor negative. They are essentially neutral patterns of the psyche.

Archetypes can be universal and cultural and can be experienced as a powerful pattern, deep within you, with a strong emotional charge when activated.

The archetypal patterns within you contribute to the material substance that you identify with as yourself; that constitute your personality and identity. Exploring archetypes then facilitates self-awareness and discovery. Archetypes can help you become conscious of your vulnerabilities; recognize how you sabotage yourself; become your allies and personal energy guides. 

You cannot escape your life. A study of archetypes that drive your thoughts and behaviour can help you embrace it.

From early childhood on we are exposed to archetypal characters through fairy tales, movies, stories and real life people, some of them “bigger than life” that model ways of being, thinking and doing and reflect mindsets and belief systems.

From early on, we mirror patterns we are exposed to that resonate with us until they are integrated and unconsciously become our own. Other patterns we create in response to circumstance.

The collection of patterns we are is like a great mosaic or orchestra of archetypes, some dominant, some less so depending on the situation and our own needs and wants.

My initial training in theatre performance led me to do personal discovery work in an experimental theatre where I actively pursued working with archetypes.

As Carl Jung wrote, “Individuation can only take place if you first return to the body, to your earth, only then does it become true.”

In The Archetypes and You ~ Discover their Power!  Introductory workshop I invite you to explore the 4 archetypes of survival and how they operate in you.

As a group, these four principal archetypes influence how you:

• relate to material power
• respond to authority, and
• make choices.

The 4 archetypes of survival plus 8 others create a personalized Archetypal Wheel. The Archetypal Wheel can be used as a personal guidance system and teach you how to deepen your understanding and appreciation of yourself, of others and of the world.
