Archetypes & Elements Retreat at Temenos

Archetypes, Elements and YOU

A deep-dive into who you are, and what you are becoming

A liberating, practical, and fun way to explore your own behaviour, gain insight into others, empower your relationships, heal your blind spots, and develop your full potential.

We will use ARCHETYPES to explore and learn, with ELEMENTS to balance and to align, expressed through our BODIES to integrate and to anchor.

First, Archetypes – to Explore and to Learn

The Jungian concept of the universal understanding of behaviours, which most individuals, regardless of origin, culture, or history, can comprehend or relate to, if used correctly, can assist us in making sense of what we wish to accentuate in ourselves, our gifts, wounds, or our suppressed side. It can be a mirror, an inspiration, or even a warning.

• Delve into your Wild Child, Warrior, Alchemist, Sage, Crone, or Magician.
• Become creative with your Master Storyteller, your Dream Weaver or your Magick Muse.
• Dare to release your Sacred Bitch and your Seductive Spellbinder in a healthy, mature way.
• Notice your Inner Critic, your Jealous Fun-spoiler and your Petty Ms/Mr Perfect, and why they are acting up when you least expect them to.
• Take responsibility for your Focused Disciplinarian and your Over- and Under-Achiever.
• And so much more….

Tap into your essence, and free yourself from outdated patterns, beliefs, conditioning and perceptions. Face your shadow, break through your own unseen limitations, and move into a new way of using your gifts.

With Elements – to Balance and to Align

Regardless of gender, we all contain both masculine and feminine energy. As in nature, we function optimally when these energies are in harmony and in a state of flow.

Working with the natural elements or Fire, Water, Earth, and Air so they are nourishing, not destructive, helps us to live in a state of optimal flow, so our inner CHILD, our state of JOY and WONDER, can flourish.

Expressed through your Body – to Integrate and to Anchor

Did you know that your body holds the keys to all the wisdom, your joy, healing, life lessons and ascension? Most of us have just forgotten to listen and have stopped to respect it.

You will be guided in a safe, conscious, and fun environment to be curious, to expand, and ultimately, to love yourself more.

Dive into the wonderful, liberating practices of breath, movement, sound, and stillness. Dare to be vulnerable, expressive, powerful, and beautiful. Reach into your hidden, repressed, wild side. That part of your soul yearning to be set free and liberated.
