Meet The Man Within

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. - CG Jung

The ANIMUS, Your Bridge To Individuation

Embody the Man within.

The modern woman has by definition a negative animus. That is because it is asked of her to be like men.

Yet although she has a masculine energy the 'man' in her is not the same as the man out there. So how do we, women, get to know the masculine in us?

How do we transform it from something outside of us causing us often discomfort, if not trouble, to a part of us that we integrate to serve us to be who we are.

Do your images from within in you about men correspond to men outside? how can you find a mirror for the man within you in modern men?

In this 7 week online program we will make a journey to become acquainted with the man inside (the animus) and learn how to use his power from within us. Enabling you to integrate it in your daily life as an inner strength.

PROGRAM

MODULE 1- RECOGNITION OF THE ANIMUS IN THE COLLECTIVE

The Animus is a powerful archetype. It is like the Anima, a bridge to the self. In this introduction we will introduce the power and meaning of archetypes in general and the animus specifically. What is the animus: in society, in art, in literature. You will learn to identify the animus in the collective.

MODULE 2- RECOGNITION OF THE ANIMUS IN THE SELF

After you have learned to identify the Animus as an 'outside' force that operates in the collective and as a projection in other people and figures, now you will learn to identify it in yourself and in a group. Individual work will be combined with partner and group work.

MODULE 3- DEEP DIVE IN THE ANIMUS

The Animus in mythology: how to identify and work with myth to get to know your animus. In this module we work with Goddesses who struggle with their animus. We work you through to identify your own myth and work with and get acquainted with the animus.

MODULE 4- THE DESTRUCTIVE SIDE OF THE ANIMUS

The animus in the body : embodiment of the animus in yourself and learning from each other. We take you deep into the womb, the mother energy, to guide, rebirth and nourish your animus.

MODULE 5 - THE CREATIVE SIDE OF THE ANIMUS

The embodiment of the animus in ourselves. In this module you get to meet the trickster archetype. We will work with chakra's and colours to meet the shape shifting power that resides in you and that is governed by your animus. Is your animus listening to you or not yet? How to communicate with your animus?

MODULE 6 - THE ANIMUS COMING TO LIGHT

In this module we review the previous modules and integrate them through meditation and drawing.

MODULE 7 - INTEGRATION OF THE ANIMUS

How rituals can help you to practice relating with the animus. We will introduce rituals to integrate the animus in your daily life and you will create your personal ritual. We will close by celebrating and embracing the animus archetype.
