In my latest blog post, "Exploring Archetypes Further," I've delved into the captivating realm of archetypes and their profound impact on our understanding of the human experience.

Carl Jung, Caroline Myss, and Joseph Campbell have left an indelible mark on the study of archetypes, each offering unique perspectives that enrich our comprehension, yet beautifully dovetail together.

Jung's pioneering work laid the foundation, unveiling archetypes as universal symbols residing deep within our collective unconscious. His exploration of the Hero, Shadow, Anima/Animus, and more, continues to inspire seekers of self-awareness worldwide.

Myss, a modern mystic, brought archetypes to life through her intricate mapping of the human energy system. Her Archetypal Wheel exemplifies how these symbolic forces influence our health, behaviours, and relationships – a remarkable fusion of psychology and spirituality.

Campbell, a master mythologist, showed us how myths transcend cultures, echoing universal archetypal motifs. His monomyth, the Hero's Journey, guides us through the hero's path of trials, transformation, and triumph – a timeless narrative ingrained in our souls.

As we traverse these distinct paths of understanding, we find harmonious intersections and intriguing contrasts. Whether it's the deep resonance of Jungian analysis, the energetics of Myss's approach, or the narrative richness of Campbell's mythic insights, archetypes beckon us to explore the labyrinthine depths of our psyche!

Please join me in this captivating expedition of knowledge and self-discovery. Embrace the wisdom of these diverse luminaries as we unlock the hidden doors of our consciousness and embark on a journey toward wholeness.

Read my comprehensive blog post "Exploring Archetypes Further" (link in comments) a thought provoking exploration of these visionary perspectives, offering information and insight into the timeless narratives that define what it is to be human.

Join Bodhini and David this Sunday for a special yoga flow and gong meditation as the sun sinks below the horizon.

This tranquil event is the perfect opportunity to finish your weekend gracefully and reset for the week ahead.

We'll begin with a gentle, grounding yoga practice focused on stretching, breathing and moving mindfulness. As daylight fades into dusk, David will accompany us on the gong, before transitioning into a meditative sound immersion, allowing you to use the soothing, cosmic vibrations to clear stagnant energies and re-centre the mind.

Melt into stillness and allow mind and body to unwind completely before your new week begins.

This practice will leave you feeling refreshed, revitalised and open - ready to receive inspiration and guidance before Monday morning rears its ugly head again!

Join us this Friday at SouLand yoga in Elstree for a tranquil 90 minute New Moon gathering to align your body, mind and spirit through the shifting lunar phases.

Flow through gentle yoga postures accompanied by David on the gong. The powerful vibrations of the gong will guide you into deep meditation, openness and presence.

Within this sacred space, connect to your inner wisdom and plant the seeds of intention for the new lunar cycle.

Discover clarity on your soul's purpose as you sink into stillness and let go of what no longer serves you.

Embark upon new beginnings and experience renewal as both Moon and Sun disappear into darkness together,
and you allow silence to nourish your soul.

Set intentions by writing down goals, dreams and insights you may receive during this transformative event.

Leave feeling balanced, focused and aligned with your highest self, as you carry the energy of your intentions forward through the moon's waxing light...

Well, it's been quite some time since I've put a blog post together, but the recent dismal British summertime weather has inspired me to get writing again! ☔🌦️☔

The focus of this series of posts will be on archetypes; what they are, how they show up, how they shape us and what relevance they have in the modern world.

At a fundamental level, an archetype is a universal symbol, theme, character or motif that appears repeatedly across culture, literature, art or religious experience. They are timeless and deeply rooted in the collective unconscious and represent basic human experiences, emotions and motivations.

Carl Jung identified and worked with twelve original archetypes, but there are certainly thousands by now. Some traditional examples include the Mother, the Warrior, the Victim, the Hero or the Wounded Child as well as more recent manifestations such as the Computer Geek, the Diva, the Femme Fatale, the Medicine Woman and so on.

Each archetype represents common aspects of the human journey, but are not necessarily rigid templates or literal parts of an individual's personality. Rather, they can be thought of as broader patterns that can be recognised in various forms and can be combined, subverted, or reimagined to create the complex and engaging jigsaw of our character and psyche.

By understanding and integrating these archetypal forces, individuals can explore their own inner worlds, confront their challenges, and harness their innate strengths for transformative healing, perhaps uncovering deeper layers of meaning and insight into what it truly means to be human.

Whether it's embarking on a hero's journey or embracing the wisdom of the archetype; accessing and engaging with this work offers a truly holistic and deeply profound way to navigate the complexities of the human experience.
