MODULE 1 / Survivor's archetypes

5 days live intensive

Four survivor's archetypes - Victim, Saboteur, Prostitute and Child - are the most important pillars of our personalities and most common, universal and actively awakened archetypes in our psyche.

Caroline Myss also calls them survival archetypes, because they represent 4 pillars that hold together the “house”of ourselves. They are universal, because they are played by every single person on this earth. They work simultaneously, while at the same time, they interact with all other eight personal archetypes. If a person is overwhelmed by the influence of one of the four universal archetypes or if he/she is literally "scratched" in a negative or positive plane of it, this will affect the intensity of the action of the other eight. For example, sometimes the negative side of the victim in men prevents their hero from expressing its positive qualities. Therefore, excessive activation of the universal archetypes can inhibit or encourage expression of other archetypes within us.

A spiritual journey through the study of prostitute, victim, child and saboteur leads us through lessons that teach us how to use our power, and above all, how our self-esteem is expressed. According to Caroline Myss, self-confidence is almost better and more effective guideline in our lives than love. Self-confidence is a skill and we can develop, engage, nurture and learn it. When love on the other hand, is an ever present and all-embracing force in the universe. From the way we manage our self-confidence, however, it depends on how the love will manifest itself. Similarly, we can train our intuition as it is not self-evident to a person, but can only be emphasized at birth or given as a special talent. It is possible, however, to awaken and develop it throughout our lifetime.

These four archetypes therefore represent the trunk of the tree along with the roots, and all other archetypes are branches that spread to the heavens and function interdependently to these four.

Would you like to get to know your four survivor's archetypes better?

Do you want to learn how to distinguish their voices,when they start appearing and conversing with each other in your inner dialogue?

Would you like to feel their energies by embodying them?

Survivor's Archetypes : Victim & Saboteur

Embodied journey to establish inner Warrior and Magician

Do you feel like you've lost control of certain parts of your life? And that there is something / someone that threatens your happiness and peace? Do you feel like ....

these people or your life in general owe you something? When such and similar questions arise in you, you are in the grip of the victim archetype, which teaches you how to set and protect personal boundaries. The victim archetype is at work even when you are always feeling tired, unsupported, “down”, and you think your complaining is justified. Life's journey is about dialoguing with your inner victim archetype and developing strategies to establish and embrace your inner warrior, who gives the victim a positive charge, courage and strength. Embodying the saboteur archetype, enlightens your way of perceptions and thinking about the attitudes of success, and thus the power of your confidence and self-esteem. By allying with this guardian of your choices, you embark on a journey of embodying saboteur's higher vibration - the archetype of magician who is master of illusions and helps you overcome the negative aspects of the saboteur and create a path where you experience chaos in your life.

Survivor's Archetypes : Child & Negotiator (Prostitute)

Embodied journey to establish inner Sovereign and Lover

What is my dream?” ... your inner child wonders. How many times in your life did you forget the importance of keeping your dreams alive and allowing yourself to follow them? ...

Through movement games and dance, you will first discover whether you are an eternal, innocent, wounded, magical, divine, natural, abandoned or perhaps a "parent" child. We will then journey inwards to establish a higher vibration of a child archetype - your inner sovereign who teaches your inner child how to become responsible and how to maintain genuine innocence.

Through the embodiment of the negotiator (prostitute), you will truly feel the power of your inner negotiation and seduction, which many times leads you away from your spiritual purpose and dreams and tests your integrity. “What do I feel?” ... will be a leading question for establishing a higher vibration of prostitute- an inner lover who teaches you how to surrender and maintain eternal faith.

TESTIMONIALS

I realized a new dimension of personal perception of this sacred world around us. It was the first time I systematically went into exploring my personality traits in a very useful way and I think I now have an immediate“soul” map that I can turn to in the moment when I need orientation. For the most part, I find that the greatest value of your program lies in the use of dance that really comes across archetypes. In this way, everything has touched me in more and more personal way. A unique and easier way to internalize and remember than if you just stuck your head in the paper.

Designer and hypnotherapist - Ljubljana

After 20 years of focus in martial arts my body started to demand something different and the path brought me to the Archetype Embodyment workshop where I was enabled for the first time to listen to myself and start journey inward. Thanks to Sandra's guidance and warmheartedness I had an amazing experience in beautiful Slovenian countryside. Looking forward to continue woking with Archetypes and dance my head off. Thank you Sandra and all lovely participants!"

You have influenced my approach to movement. There is so much space to just be me in your class. Most other teachers expect particular attitudes and expressions, but I only feel free to be me with you. They way you take us through exploring movement has just the right balance between direction and freedom.
