Archetypal Empowerment

Get ready to dive deep into the transformative world of archetypal psychology. We will be using the pioneering works of Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung to the table, and this stuff is powerful. By tapping into the universal symbols and images that make up our unconscious, we can uncover hidden aspects of ourselves that we never even knew existed. It’s like discovering a whole new part of yourself that you never even knew was there. When it comes to exploring the Divine Feminine, Jung’s Great Mother archetype is where it’s at. This powerful symbol represents the nurturing and creative aspects of femininity, and by connecting with it, we can become more whole individuals. Our workshop is all about embodying the archetypes of the Navadurga, the nine Goddesses of the Navratri tradition using Jungian methods like active imagination, symbolic interpretation, and personal mythmaking. Through this exploration, we’ll access their transformative power and unleash our full potential. Jung’s concept of the anima is another crucial piece of the puzzle on our journey towards discovering the Divine Feminine. By integrating the feminine aspect of our psyche, we can achieve greater balance and wholeness, unlocking the full range of human emotions and creativity. It’s time to break free from the limitations of conditioning and embrace the power of the anima. Through ‘Nine Nights of the Goddess’ journey, we facilitate this integration process and foster a more profound connection to the Divine Feminine within.

Reflect:
“The Divine Feminine is not just a concept or an idea, but a living reality that exists within each of us. By reconnecting with this aspect of ourselves, we can bring balance and harmony to our lives, and unleash a powerful source of creativity and intuition.” ~ Carl Jung, The Archetypes a The Collective Unconscious, P. 207.
