Archetypes: Who are You? With Caroline Myss
June 5-9, 2013
From Caroline:
In response to these changes in our psychic/social climate, I decided to write a second book about ten familiar archetypes that presented the characteristics of these archetypal patterns through a series of “life categories” every person can relate to in some way. These categories are: Life Journey, Unique Challenge, Universal Lesson, Defining Grace, Inner Shadow, and Archetypal Myths. The ten archetypes I chose are: Artist, Caregiver, Athlete, Rebel, Intellectual, Queen/Executive, Mystic, Fashionista, Visionary, and Advocate. I chose these ten archetypes as they embody the “social soul” of our present day society and therefore most people can identify with at least four of these patterns.
In this workshop, we will explore each of the ten archetypes presented in my new book, Archetypes: Who Are You?, using these categories as guides. Each archetype, for example, expresses itself through a specific Life Journey. The Artist yearns for expression in some form. Yet, does that type of expression necessarily come through painting or sculpture? Not at all. However, if you have the Artist archetype, you will have the impulse for “artistic expression” and that impulse absolutely needs to find an outlet. Many times a person with the Artist archetype ignores her inner Artist because there is so much uncertainty about the world or life of an artist. Yet, there are so many ways for a person’s Artist to find expression that are not typical. In this workshop, we will explore the many expressions of each archetype in relationship to your personal life, your occupation, your relationships, your health, and your future.
Finally, I’ve chosen to hold this workshop at Miraval, a lovely spa-retreat located an hour outside Tucson, Arizona, because the subject matter requires a smaller audience. This setting allows for an intimate group that shares four days together in a lovely atmosphere supportive of personal work.Miraval workshops are always exquisite experiences.

Self-Care for the Creative Soul with Cheryl Richardson, Alanis Morissette, & Michael Gerrish
March 2-6, 2014
Have you ever felt too sensitive or empathic to live comfortably in a fast-paced, competitive, constantly changing world? Do you dislike the part of yourself that’s too easily affected by what others say and do? Are you tired of conforming to society’s standards or the expectations of others just to fit in? Imagine how it would feel to see your sensitivity as a strength – a precious gift that deserves to be cherished and considered a blessing instead of a curse. Now imagine having the tools and skills to protect and nurture this gift, so you can feel fully equipped to live a fearless and fulfilling life!
