Feminine Archetypes | The Sage

The Sage: the third of four key Archetypes related to the Feminine Cycles

One of the key characteristics attributed to the Feminine is its cyclic nature. This includes the wider cycles of the seasons and the moon, as well as personal cycles, such as the major phases in one’s life or the menstrual cycle.

These personal cycles have been identified as archetypal forces shared around the world. We have chosen to work with four key archetypes: the Child, the Mother, the Sage, and the Healer.

This is the third of four events in which we will explore each of these archetypes. The SAGE is the archetype connected with the luteal phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle and with her years as a wise woman. Wisdom, capacity to let go, surrender are some of the qualities it brings with it.

Each of us experiences this archetype in her own unique way. This is why we have decided to come together and create a space where we can share our personal experiences and learn from each other’s stories.

Focus

Who is it for?

This weekend is dedicated to women in all their shapes and forms.

The cycles of the feminine are archetypal and therefore universally accessible. They are independent of biological factors, age, or hormonal cycles conditioned by estrogen and progesterone.

Programme

Tuesday 18.30 – 21.30

• Welcome • Key archetypal elements • Practical exercises • Sharing of experiences

How we work

This event is a moment for us to come together and share experiences of our cyclical nature. The events will include both theoretical discussions and practical exercises to help integrate the qualities of each archetype.

The archetypes we’ve chosen to work with come from the Colombian Andean Tradition, but they are also present in many other traditions around the world. They are connected to the phases of the moon and to the different stages of our lives.

Even though they may have different names in various traditions, the qualities associated with them are often very similar. According to C.G. Jung, archetypes are part of humanity’s unconscious psychological inheritance. Our personal unconscious already contains “a priori forms,” which are part of the collective unconscious. Through their symbolic function, archetypes allow us to transcend our individual selves and progress in the process of individuation.
