Summer Workshops Are Here!
Cycling With the Seasons: A Journey Through the Archetypes
Join me as we cycle through the seasons and explore the timeless feminine archetypes that shape our lives. In this 4 part series we will work with the archetypes of the maiden, mother, matriarch and crone and explore their relationship with the cycles of nature to discover the wisdom and healing gifts they each have to offer. We begin the first class in the season of spring delving into the wisdom of the maiden and work our way through the year to the crone and the darkness of winter. In each class we will discuss the light and shadow sides of each archetype, identify how they impact our life and show up in our experiences, and discover how we can work with these potent energies to heal past wounds. We will also discuss their connection to the moon cycles, our blood cycles and how each of these archetypes can inspire our personal spiritual practice. Through meaningful discussions, guided journeys and prompted journaling you will harness the wisdom of each phase, cultivate a deeper connection to the rhythms of nature and gain a better understanding of yourself and your healing path.
Investment: $85 per class or $300 for all 4
Class 1: The Maiden
As we emerge from the darkness of winter and step into the light of spring, we dance with the archetype of the Maiden. She is the innocent wonder that resides within each of us; the youthful aspect of ourselves so full of curiosity and potential. She reminds us of the importance of our dreams and teaches us that desire is sacred. Join me as we explore the wondrous gifts of this powerful archetype and how to utilize her teachings to heal past wounds. Through discussion, guided journeys and journaling we will uncover our unique relationship to the Maiden and how we can bring balance to her expression in our daily life.

Class 2: The Mother
As the wheel of the year turns we find ourselves stepping into the warmth of summer and the realm of the Mother. This archetype represents the great life bearer and is the very symbol of creation, nourishment, protection and unconditional love. Her energy teaches us how to create from a place of love, intuition and devotion however she like all others can also carry a shadow side. Discover your personal relationship to this archetype and how healing her wounds can lead to a more balanced life. You do not need to be a physical mother to tap into her wisdom. Through meaningful discussions, guided journeys and reflective journaling we will bring balance to this important aspect of our being.

Class 3: The Matriarch
As we enter the season of autumn we step into the realm of the Matriarch. She is the leader, the guide, the one who teaches us how to act with integrity and hold others without loosing one’s self. She invites us to embody our values, take responsibility for our impact within our community, and become trustworthy stewards of power. In this workshop we will explore our relationship to this powerful archetype and bring healing to the parts of this expression that may be hidden in shadow. Through discussions, guided journeys and journaling we will uncover the personal wisdom of this archetype and learn how it can guide us into embracing our fullest expression of self.

Class 4: The Crone
In the dark of winter under the new moon we embrace the energy of the Crone. She is the wise one, the storyteller, the sage who understands the mysteries of life, death and rebirth. This powerful archetype teaches us how to navigate through endings and loss and how to face the unknown. She teaches us that letting go is a sacred act and that within every death the seed of new life is born. In this transformative workshop we will explore the wisdom of this archetype and how to embody her teachings on our own healing journey. Through meaningful discussions, guided journeys and journaling we learn how embracing this archetype can lead us to the depths of our own personal evolution.
