Do you have a decision to make or an inner conflict? Do your dreams seem to be sending you a message? How do you listen to your inner voice and find your true self? Images are the key, the shortcut to the inner treasures of our psyches. Archetypes are patterns that can help us understand our feelings, questions, conflicts, and concerns. They are guides from beyond or within. Activities such as SoulCollage®, Tarot, and working with mythology are doorways to that imaginal realm of wisdom.


What is an Archetype?

Archetypes are energies that arise from the psyche, such as the wise old guide, trickster, fool, or hero. These ideas are shared across cultures and history, giving them the unique power to speak across time and connect the inner to the outer. We can enter these archetypes through images.
