Are you coming to swim with us?
During this Fantastic Friday Session you’ll experience the River archetype! Learn to let go, flow and be both steady and flexible at the same time in unexpected situations.
Discover how you can create more flow in your work and life.
Do you feel like you have to swim against the (main)stream? Or that it doesn’t flow at all in your life, or in your work? Chances are that your archetypal River is Calling…
But you don’t hear or listen to what he or she says…
Then this Fantastic Friday Session is for you. Come join us and jump into the water…
During this session you will experience how the archetype River is active in you. You will learn
During the Fantastic Friday Sessions you will get to know archetypes that are active in you in a light-hearted and in-depth way. You will receive various exercises that will allow you to experience and feel the archetype. Each month a different archetype is central.
The Fantastic Friday Sessions are every last Friday of the month. Each session stands on its own and costs only €15,= (ex VAT) each time. So you can join when you feel like joining.
Don’t want to miss a single session? Then take an annual ticket of 10 sessions, and you get two sessions for free.
The Fantastic Friday Sessions are short, practical online sessions in which we explore each time another archetype. Through (some) theory, but mostly through all kinds of exercises, we dive into its meaning and discover how it influences your behaviour. You get personal insights and exercises on how to connect to it.
No prior knowledge of archetypes and working with them is necessary. The sessions are intended to get acquainted with the power of the archetypes in us in an accessible way.
The River archetype represents flow, change and emotional depth. Like a real river, it symbolizes fertility, cleansing, and growth as well as strength, unpredictability, and sometimes even devastation. All kinds of situations and emotions you will recognize in your own life too.
When you look at these situations in your life through the lense of the archetypal River it helps you to let go of what no longer serves, to deal with change and to recognize your own inner flow, whether it is calmly rippling or wild.
The River teaches you to:
· To go with the flow in your life
· Or sometimes just deliberately swim against it
· Clean up what is holding you back (old patterns, emotions, habits).
· To feel when you are stuck and how you get back into flow.
To find a balance between letting go and keeping, so that you don't run empty, but rather become filled.
You will experience your own Inner River yourself with all kinds of exercises. These exercises are both individual and group exercises. we'll dive into your narratives, do systemic and energetic exercises. So both head and body.
Of course, you also get some theory about the archetype itself, but not too much. You learn to swim better by diving into the water than by staying on the shore...
