Awakening to Your Avatar
A weekend of working directly with the archetypal energies that compose your life — mapping them, practicing with them, and learning to embody and emanate them. Step consciously into the symbols and forces that shape you, and learn to wield them in your daily life.
If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.*
— Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas
Humanity has always been in love with the symbols that radiate meaning — the images and stories through which we make sense of life, the world, and ourselves.
Today, we have access to more of these symbols than any people in history. And yet most of us have no practice for working with them — no way of discovering which energies are actually ours, that reflect the life that’s trying to emerge through us, and how to embody them.
Which means they work on us anyway — unconsciously. The Hero, the Martyr, the Rebel, the Good Child — archetypes that have us by the neck, governing how we live, what we pursue, what we sabotage. We are lived by symbols we have no control over.
There’s another possibility, from the tantric traditions, whose practitioners have always worked directly with archetypal energy: deity yoga, visualization, mantra — as a central practice on the path of awakening. Entering into these expressions of divine, awakened energy and power until the boundary between you and them dissolves.
This weekend brings that possibility to your own life, and can become a powerful approach and ally on your path.
What you’ll walk away with
A living map of your own archetypal energies — and the felt, embodied experience of what it’s like to step into them. Not just intellectually. In your body.
This weekend will expand your range — your capacity to feel and move with different energies in your body, including the ones your nervous system habitually avoids. The fierce ones, the tender ones, the ones you’ve kept at arm’s length. You’ll learn to step consciously into and out of these energies — and to integrate on your own home frequency, so that the work lands in *your* life, not just in the room.
You’ll leave with a practice you can keep working with — a way of accessing these energies deliberately, in daily life, rather than being unconsciously run by them.
