PRESENTATION: The Wisdom of the Odyssey: An Ancient Map for Aging, Changing Souls
At the heart of Homer’s epic poem is the revelation of the dramatic change between the young idealistic Odysseus in the Iliad, and the older traumatized warrior of the Odyssey, as well as the growth in Penelope from a young bride to a wise queen who saves their home from the Suitors. They are guided by encounters with archetypes—sorcerers, nymphs, monsters, even a noble dog—who guide them on their odysseys. This numinous myth offers a map of the soul’s journey home for maturing hearts and minds, revealing how to learn and grow from life’s ordeals and struggles.

PRESENTATION: The Fundamental Openness of Archetypes to Our Active Participation
At the heart of archetypes is their intrinsic multivalence, their openness to multiple ways of being expressed while remaining true to their core essence. It is precisely this quality that allows each of us in the course of our maturation to become ever more co-creative participants in our personal embodiment of these archetypes rather than mere puppets of unconscious forces.
