Self-presentation

Metaphors, Symbols &
Archetypes
Saturday, 14 March 2026

Metaphors, symbols, and archetypes have a long history in transformational work (long before Jung!), but can be one of the more challenging areas to bring alive in one's own practice. Grounded in theory but focused on practical experience, this workshop introduces several ways these concepts can serve us in developmental work.

Personal Sovereignty

Saturday, 28 March 2026

As we mature, many of us incline towards increasing our personal sovereignty in important areas of our lives, taking on greater responsibilities and exercising more autonomous choice. However, we don't always find natural developmental opportunities for making this step, and can get stuck in positions of dependence, deferred maintenance, or immaturity. This workshop invites participants to take conscious steps towards greater sovereignty, examining blocks and introducing concrete skills for doing so.
