Elements & Archetypes: Maps of the Mythic
The Black Mountains of Wales, UK
with Colin Campbell & Rachel Fleming
This is a rare opportunity to work intensively with Colin in an intimate setting in the Black Mountains of Wales, a thin place where we might explore together his maps and practices that aim to bring back to our lives the primary elements of creation and their corresponding archetypes, identified in contemporary archetypal psychology, yet experienced and embodied through his particular African tradition and lineage. We will explore deeply within ourselves, with the group, and within our culture at large, our own experiences of these elements and archetypes, and their cycles and resonances.
In addition, we will undertake a series of time-tested ritual practices from Colin’s tradition that help us to examine and restore these images to our lived experience in the moment and for the future. We will consider how we best offer them back as medicine at this intense time of transformation and renewed need for meaning and story-making. We will look at our own maps of the imaginal, mythic world, how we carry them, how we construct them, how they intersect with our daily lives and how we might use them in the world.
For those that want to stay locally There are a few places near by. Llanthony Priory which has got to be one of the most beautiful and romantic places to stay in the world, so would be our first choice. And the Half Moon Inn, Llanthony looks nice too.
