Welcome to The Artemisian, a home for navigating the journey of inner work, where the mystery of the psyche meets the unfolding path of becoming.

The Artemisian stands at the threshold of the psyche and its mysteries, a home for inner work and archetypal study. Through workshops, educational writings, and a supportive community, you’ll learn how to trace the symbolic threads of life, foster greater self-awareness and deepen your journey of growth and development.

At the heart of The Artemisian is a weaving of two traditions:

Archetypal Studies

Archetypes are the dynamic forces of the psyche, foundational structures that connect us to the generative ground of our inner world. They reveal themselves most clearly through image, symbol, and patterns of experience, which is why we look towards symbolic systems as a way of engaging them. Working with archetypal images opens a pathway into the unconscious, where transformation and deeper meaning can unfold, and where our personal experiences are held in a container rich with significance and imaginal depth. Here at The Artemisian, you’ll see me drawing most often upon mythology and fairytales, tarot, alchemy, and dreams.

Jungian Psychology

Jung was endlessly fascinated with the nature of the psyche, the way it produced images, structured reality, how it drove the personality towards growth and wholeness. His theories are grounded in these ideas, providing a framework for exploring the relationship between consciousness and the unconscious as a central task of individuation. I reference the greater body of Jungian work and literature often, from the shadow to personality typology, active imagination to synchronicity, as tools and reference points for deepening self-understanding and psychological development.

What members are saying…

“Alyssa and most things that she has offered and created here have been transformational for me. I’m amazed at her depth and intuition, and the abilities to analyse and synthesise information and eloquently guide individuals or groups into the depths of our symbolic and archetypal self. Her articles, classes and mentorship sessions have always left me a bit more transformed, with new insights and new ideas to chew on. Alyssa’s work is some kind of ancient medicine for modern times. I’m very glad I had the luck to discover it.”

— Eriona Minka

“I'm not sure how to describe how much I love Alyssa Polizzi's Artemisian. There are several key things that I think make it stand out. One is her immersive monthly workshop. Alyssa structures them so that they start with a broad understanding of the Jungian approach and sometimes Hillman's, if it contrasts, including key quotes. She progresses from a broad overview into the more detailed aspects of the topic, gives detailed examples, and ends with practical exercises/skills. Her explanations are clear, concise, understandable, yet profound. If you attend live, there's always opportunities to ask questions, and Alyssa's answers always make sense to me. I feel that my understanding and my skills are deepening in nuanced ways each time.

The other thing I particularly love about The Artemisian is that Alyssa cycles through so many different modalities (including Dreams, Alchemy & Tarot) to further our understanding/inner work, each time weaving the teaching in a diffent way. Throughout the month, Alyssa also shares interesting quotes and questions to reflect upon, and she responds to anything you ask of her. I highly recommend becoming a paid member!”

“Alyssa's work is a bridge for my understanding of Jung, allowing me to make valuable connections to essential concepts that I have struggled with through Jung's dense and complicated writings. I'm so grateful to have found this resource!”

“I've been in a Jungian analysis for seven years, participate in all kinds of online Jungian offerings, and read extensively in the field. Alyssa isn't an analyst, which would reasonably lead people to wonder why I've paid for membership in The Artemisian Substack for the past two years.

The answer is simple. Alyssa does a better job of explaining Jungian concepts than many trained analysts. Additionally, she beautifully connects those concepts to mythology, Tarot, and practical actions of everyday life. Finally, and this is important -- depth psychology offers an incredible richness of personal development for those who undertake it, but it's essential that you seek guidance from people who are both knowledgeable and experienced in doing the work on themselves. Alyssa is both.”

Meet Alyssa, Your Instructor & Guide

Here I am in my library with a stack of my favorite books on alchemy!

Hi — I’m Alyssa, the founder of The Artemisian. I’m an educator and writer guiding inner work through the lens of archetypal studies and Jungian psychology.

My work centers around making the archetypal language of the psyche accessible, meaningful, and transformative. Drawing from over a decade of study in mythology, Jungian psychology, dreams, tarot, and alchemy, I guide others in understanding the underlying forces shaping their inner and outer worlds.

In my writings and workshops, I offer an approach to self-development that is structured yet intuitive, educationally rich yet grounded in personal meaning and psychological depth. I’m here to offer frameworks, tools, and insights to support your path of growth and becoming.

Let’s explore the mysteries and wisdom of the psyche together.

~Alyssa
