"OH, THE PEOPLE YOU'VE MET -- AND THE PEOPLE YOU'VE BEEN" A WORKSHOP

"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)" -Walt Whitman

Workshop Description

There's a reason we encounter familiar figures across the arts. Archetypes such as the trickster, the sage and the lover represent universal patterns of thought -- and they have a lot to tell us about ourselves. 

In this six-session workshop, we'll think back to some of the people we've met and some of the people we've been and consider what a fresh understanding of them offers us as we move into the future.

As Carol S. Pearson writes, "Each archetype that comes into our lives brings with it a task, a lesson and ultimately a gift."
