Do you find yourself in patterns of behavior and thought, desiring change but feeling stuck? Wanting more in daily life, but finding yourself always thinking there is not “enough time” or “maybe next year”? You sense a desire for more, more adventure, more pleasure, more purpose, but just how do you get to it?
So often, women diminish their own desires and power for the sake of loved ones and the “shoulds” of life, confusing behavioral or coping patterns with their identity.
However, there are universal archetypes, patterns in all myths and cultural stories, who can guide us to our highest purpose beyond our own limiting stories. Archetypes show the hero’s journey to our authenticity and purpose.
Mary Oliver reminds us we have one “wild and precious life” meant to be lived vibrantly and passionately. This is not meant for other people’s lives or for the ‘shoulds’ of tomorrow, our life requires our full presence today.
By exploring depth psychology, mythopoetic wisdom, and these sacred feminine archetypes, we can learn to lead a more empowered and resilient life, finding our way to deeper relationships, both with ourselves and others. A life of passion, purpose, and adventure, through the guidance of the sacred archetypes of the human experience.
& Still I Rise:
a Masterclass Exploring
the Eleven Sacred Archetypes
This ongoing masterclass ceremony meets once a month, in person, to explore the sacred feminine archetypes and how to embody each for radical healing and personal growth.
During the ceremony and applied ‘home(soul)work’ through the month, we will apply theories from depth psychology and mythopoetic wisdom to our own lives through a variety of practices and modalities, focusing on holistic health and growth.
Dates left in 2024: 10/5, 11/2, 12/7
We meet in-person, at The Noble House (El Paso TX) on a listed Saturday every month in 2024 from 10am to 12pm MST.
Each ceremony will begin with an embodied meditation and visualization practice focused on the archetype. Following guided meditation, an active seminar and lecture on the archetype in synthesis to depth psychology and practical therapeutic applications. From the masterclass, attendees will be given a month of embodiment practice with the wisdom of each archetype. This will conclude with a sound experience and somatic practice to encourage a full sensory experience for integration and inspiration.
