About Archetypes

Archetypes are supportive and strengthening primal images that have been part of our consciousness since the beginning of time. They are present in our genetic memory and evolve along beside us.

The language of symbols speaks directly to the primordial depth within us. Symbols quickly get our attention, and go beyond the thinking mind, straight to the core of what makes life meaningful.

Archetypes are not a gimmick or a selling strategy. They are a way of helping our minds grow into what they need to be. Proper teachings on classical archetypes are empowering, educative, playful and positive. You might be surprised to learn how many well known actors, musicians and artists – along with intellectuals, health professionals and business leaders – work with archetypes.

These Western Meditations work very well alongside the growing world wide interest in Mindfulness meditation. They both have the aspiration to help us to be more present and engaged in daily life.
