HEALING THROUGH SOMATIC CREATIVITY, ARCHETYPE WORK & STORYTELLING
{BASED ON THE WORK OF CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTES}

I’ll be running the CREATIVE FIRE workshop again on Feb 2nd in Ocean Shores.

During this workshop, we will be transforming our inner child into our adult self through somatic art and storytelling. Face our own creative blocks, using the archetypal stories or Persephone, Hades and Demeter to ignite these hidden aspects in us.

We will be going deep into our inner child in a held and safe space, using creative processing to bring her out and let her be seen. Dealing with our own inner Hades who tries to bring us down with self-critical thinking. While also weaving in our wiser adult Demeter-self and Queen Persephone into our creations, so that we can fully integrate our inner child and her gifts, while also providing her with deep healing.

This is a deep and transformative process, where we step fully into our inner child and take her through a journey into the underworld where she meets her shadow and emerges into the topside world, a Queen.

This is a journey many of us take in life and in our own creative process.

We start off in our creativity as a free, boundless and curious spirit, and yet somewhere along our path something snatches this creative fire away and takes us deep into the underworld, where our inner Hades tries to put that fire out.

This is the place we meet our shadow, meet the parts of us that are hidden, yet persistent.

We meet these parts with a compassionate heart in a safe space and begin to untangle in this descent, turning our pain into wisdom as it should be.

There's an archetypal journey here, that each of us know well, these archetypes are not just stories, but the human experience that are alive in all of us.

Once we meet these parts of ourselves we emerge to the top-side world as women of wisdom, as Queen Persephone, an integrated, wise, compassionate being.

Our creations that we will be working on together will transform as will we during our workshop, it is a time for deep introspection and to express what all this brings up for you.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Sharing circle, ritual and exploration of our creative fire.

Together we will discover what blocks us from stepping into our full creative potential, how we can understand the cycles of creativity by looking into the archetypes such as Persephone, Demeter and Hades.

There will be storytelling and creative practices to light your creative fire.
