Workshop: The Riddle in the Mirror
Evening Workshop: The Riddle in the Mirror © Exploring the Meaning of Symbols in your life.
Come put the puzzle of your life together; be inspired; discover your creative self; and explore your personal relationship to the Archetypes.
This workshop explores how illness, everyday events, and relationships act as a mirror that reflects clues for spiritual understanding through its symbolic meaning. Our soul talks through our physical and emotional body to the conscious mind in the language of symbol. These symbols are usually riddle-like when we try to understand it with logic alone. We can deceive ourselves with rationalizations and miss the true massages of our soul. We have to use tools that work with both the unconscious and conscious faculties. Therefore the tools of decrypting the true meaning of the messages are vital for our well being as an integrated, whole and balanced human being.
We will learn to use tools in this workshop that can assist us in our understanding of the meaning of events and gives us knowledge about the rhythms and patterns in nature on earth and in the heavens that relates to archetypal patters. Astrology, The Tarot, Numerology, Body energy centres (charkas), and other symbol- systems will become more meaningful and useful to our everyday practice.
The connection between events in our life and universal processes brings clarity about our personal development as a conscious human being. So whatever happens to us on a physical, emotional, mental and intellectual level, through illness, relationship issues, events, and conflicts, are explained in terms of universal patterns, which are again part of our natural evolutional or maturational processes. Personal, cultural and universal experiences are linked to these archetypal rhythms, times and patters, because of an interrelationship of all that exist.
When we understand how to unravel the true messages that lies in the symbols of the events in our lives, and how it links to the universal processes that we have to live through, we gain understanding or consciousness that contribute to our growth and healing, because we know where adjustments are needed in our lives.
In this workshop we will learn to explore the meaning of the symbols in our individual life experiences and how it relates to the Archetypal patterns in the universe and its significance to our spiritual healing.
