When we dance the seven archetypes, something becomes tangible. You move and embody figures from mythology that, according to C. G. Jung, shape the collective unconscious – primordial forms of human experience that are inherent in all of us. Each of these figures brings its own quality – the Wild One, the Warrior, the Queen, the Jester, the Lover, the Magician, the Sage.
Through these images, you allow yourself movements and postures that your everyday self often does not permit: Perhaps you have never been "royal," never truly wild, never completely crazy, or radically gentle. In the Dance of the Archetypes, you are allowed to experiment with this – and through this, something transforms within you. Through movement, breath, and voice, you embark on a journey through the entire body, through the seven energy centers (chakras), and through seven elemental personality aspects.
Each archetype also has a voice – and this becomes the dancing part of the body, an area that is often blocked or inhibited in many people and is given playful space here. In the Dance of the Archetypes, you can discover which personality aspects need more attention and energy, and allow them to receive it.
