Archetypes

 

 

Here, we use seven distinct Archetypes to help you build intimacy with your sacred and mystical nature.

But first, what is an Archetype?

In short, it’s a “sacred shorthand”,  a way to describe a lot by using just one word.

An Archetype is a universally recognizable “bouquet” of characteristics  common to the human experience. This means, Archetypes are very relatable. When you look, you can easily see them in yourself, and in everyone.

Other systems that use archetypes include Jungian dreamwork and analysis, astrology, tarot, and the Enneagram. “Pisces” is an archetype, for example.

There are many, many archetypes.

We work with these archetypes:

 

 

You have the “magic” of each of these seven archetypes within you. Everyone does. And that means two things.

First, your personal formula or configuration of Archetypes helps you understand your unique nature and the path you walk.

Second, since everyone has these Archetypes, it helps you feel connected and part of a vast community. It builds compassion and relatability.

So, learning this Archetypal language allows you to have your cake and eat it too. You will know your unique nature, and also maintain a sense of profound belonging.

Ultimately, understanding your own Archetypal constitution shows you three things:

  • how to offer your work to the world
  • how to honor your Sacred Self
  • how to honor the Sacred in everyone
