Women have traits that are multifaceted, strong, vulnerable, and
colorful, just like the RAINBOW OF QUALITIES WE CAN FIND IN THE
ARCHETYPES OF THE GREEK GODDESSES. Join this all-women WORKSHOP TO
EXPLORE TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE THE SPECTRUM OF OUR FEMALE IDENTITY.
The ARCHETYPES, just as the inner ARCHETYPES OF THE GREEK GODDESSES,
are powerful inner patterns, forces within that influence what we do
and how we feel and can reveal intimate truths about ourselves. When
we are able to understand them, we gain powerful insights that provide
the key to self-knowledge and wholeness. What we do: In this FEMALE
RAINBOW WORKSHOP, the sixth of its series, we start by reading and
reflecting upon the myth of PERSEPHONE. The goddess PERSEPHONE HAS TWO
ASPECTS, as the Kore (daughter) and as the Queen of the Underworld. As
the Kore she represents the young girl spirit who does not know "who
she is" and is as yet unaware of her desires or strengths. As the
Queen of the Underworld, she "guides the living who visit the
underworld" and claims for herself what she wants. In our circle we
delve into the introspective qualities of this ARCHETYPE TO OPEN YOUR
HEART TO THE NUMINOUS, sacred and nontangible experience of listening
to your inner wisdom that guide your soul. We work in dyads, following
guided embodied explorations that will help you experience being the
leader and the follower and cultivate your receptivity. From this
state of openness, we move on to using playfully a variety of art
materials, including drawing, creating with clay and collage. Through
this personal exploration, each participant deepens their connection
to the qualities of PERSEPHONE. Lastly, we use Authentic Movement,
creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you are free to move and
listen to your body’s wisdom. This way you open yourself to
receiving insights that can encourage you to recognize the commitments
you need to make to grow beyond the Kore and become the Queen of your
own decisions that guide your soul. Please bring: Comfortable clothes
that you can easily move. Your open presence and beginner’s mind as
this WORKSHOP IS MAINLY EXPERIENTIAL. Movement explorations are
adaptable to all physical abilities and conditions. Quality art
materials will be provided. Participants are welcome to buy the book
of Jean Shinoda Bolen “Goddesses in Every Woman”, but it is not
