Workshop: Santa Fe 2023

October 30 – November 2, 2023 • La Fonda on the Plaza, Santa Fe, NM

This workshop is designed to be a rich exploration into our universal archetypal experiences as well as offering spiritual instruction on developing your awakening intuitive nature. I learned a long time ago that exploring the power of archetypes is a spiritual journey in disguise.

The two most valuable soul jewels that I can teach today are what I’ve learned about archetypes and the nature of mystical consciousness. I consider both of these systems of knowledge to be the gold that leads to personal empowerment, health and authentic spiritual transformation. We have entered the age of the psyche, the age of energy, the invisible age of power. It will take decades for us to comprehend how this transition into a new paradigm of power initiated a new consciousness within us. We have not even accepted that we are now multi-sensory, as five-senses are no longer adequate for residing, much less surviving, in a life environment that extends into the quantum domain.

Our instincts, our intuitive nature, is rapidly adapting to our “energy reality.” Today, as a social community, we are seriously focused on self-empowerment and pursuing our inner nature and our intuitive intelligence. And that is an indication that, consciously or unconsciously, we are indeed aligning to our psychic temperament. Our mental and emotional sensitivities are expanding, as are the numerous energetic challenges that manifest in a myriad of emerging health issues, many of which are the result of our not realizing all we need to do to maintain our energetic health, as well as our physical. For all the advancements that have been made in traditional and alternative healthcare in the past six decades, our collective health has grown more fragile. Depression, anxiety, suicides, emotional, psychic and spiritual crises are on the rise. Note that the majority of the disorders and various sufferings that are now epidemic in proportion are “energetic” in nature as well.

For all of the obvious social and personal reasons for the rapid rise in health and personal crises that we are experiencing, perhaps another level of insight needs to be introduced into our understanding of who we are today and how we need to think about ourselves. And, most significantly, how we need to understand the active cosmic field of life in which we dwell. Just as physicists speak about “dark matter” as invisible matter that fills the air space of our lives (meaning there is no such thing, really, as empty space), it is also the case that our lives are continually influenced by archetypal patterns and their subtle magnetic images that filter into our psyches. How different would we – or you – think about any situation or relationship in our life if we expanded our awareness to include the energetic activity of archetypes?

We all like to believe that we are in charge of our lives, our choices, our actions, who we are attracted to, how we think – but that is simply not true. The truth is that we enter into this life already pulsating with archetypal patterns, instincts and inclinations. Our life journey is actually a manifestation of the numerous archetypal patterns that influence how we see our life, who we imagine ourselves to be, how we see the external world and how we interact with everything and everyone we encounter in our world.

And beyond the personal archetypal patterns that each of us has are universal archetypal experiences and knowledge common to all of us. There are experiences in life, in other words, that every person will in some way encounter. For example, the cycle of death and rebirth, that insures every person that endings are inevitable. But so are new beginnings.

This workshop is designed to be a rich exploration into our universal archetypal experiences as well as offering spiritual instruction on developing your awakening intuitive nature. I learned a long time ago that exploring the power of archetypes is a spiritual journey in disguise.

In this workshop, we will examine the impersonal experiences of life that visit us all. We will begin this workshop with an extended discussion on why each of us is destined today to find their way to personal empowerment. While the idea of “empowerment” and developing self-esteem may had started off decades ago as a workshop for people striving to heal, we have evolved past that healing agenda and into the realization that self-esteem is one of the essential ingredients of a healthy life. This quest has become its own type of archetypal journey.

The following is the list of many of the life experiences that we share.
In one way or another, we have, or we will experience everything listed. These are the archetypal experiences the are continually refining the human experience.
