Hello everyone~
Archetypes are a rich and complex topic. From a Jungian perspective, we view them as the dynamic forces, foundational structures and instinctual patterns of the psyche that underlie and shape human experience. Or, from Hillman’s perspective, as, “the deepest patterns of psychic functioning, the roots of the soul governing the perspectives we have of ourselves and the world.”
In today’s live, we explore some core ideas of archetypes — what they are, how to recognize them in your own life, and why working with them can open a profound pathway for self-understanding and transformation. Feel free to leave your questions, reflections, etc in the comments!
