Embodied Archetypes: Exploring Personal Mythology

With Kayleigh Lang

July 27 – August 2, 2025

Discover the power of universal archetypes—such as the Healer, the Warrior, and the Seer—as tools for self-reflection and creative expression. In this five-day workshop, participants will explore personal connections to these archetypes while learning mixed-media techniques to create symbolic art pieces. Through reflection, discussion, and hands-on studio work, this course offers a transformative space to explore identity, resilience, and storytelling.

The course emphasizes inclusivity and draws from timeless interconnectedness, resilience, and transformation values. Anyone, regardless of spiritual practice or not, can participate.
