Uncover the psychological themes in descent myths and learn how to apply them to your inner work
In this workshop, we explore the mythological descents of Persephone, Orpheus, and Psyche, uncovering the psychological themes and archetypal insights embedded in their stories. By viewing the underworld as a symbol of the unconscious, we examine how their experiences reveal pathways to our own psychic depths and the key resources needed for the journey. To finish, we reflect on the lessons these myths offer for navigating personal descents and explore practical ways to apply these insights to our inner work.
Topics include:
A Jungian approach to mythology
Archetypal themes of descent myths
The symbolism of the underworld
Psychological principles, key symbols and insights in the descents of Persephone, Orpheus, and Psyche
An exercise to apply the descent themes to our inner work
