SIGN UP - Exploring Archetypal Energies through Expressive Arts
Inner Work for Soul Care Practitioners
March 25-29, 2012 at St. Andrew’s Retreat House on the Hood Canal
with Kayce Stevens Hughlett, MA, LHMC and Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, REACE
Description
When we are engaged in the care of others’ souls, it is vital that we make time to nourish our own. Each individual holds personal responsibility for this, and as Soul Care Practitioners we can enhance our work with others by engaging in our own inner exploration. Each of us contains within us a multiplicity of energies which are rooted in the archetypes. Archetypes help to illuminate our shadow places, call us to step fully into our deepest passions in service to the world, and ultimately bring us to a place of greater internal freedom. Our ministry becomes a place of joyful service and presence.
Gather with other Soul Care Practitioners (spiritual directors, chaplains, pastors, therapists, etc.) for four days while we create a safe and sacred container to explore the archetypes at work within us through the expressive arts (including movement, visual art, poetry, writing, and meditation). Some of the archetypes we will explore in this retreat include the Lover, Mother, Sovereign, Orphan, Warrior, and Magician. This will be a time of deep inner work, soul nourishment, and being supported in a community of professional peers.
