A 10-Session Online Workshop

Overview

In times of uncertainty and rapid change, ancient wisdom offers us a compass for navigation. Based on Angeles Arrien's groundbreaking work synthesizing worldwide perennial wisdoms, this 10 session online workshop spread across the year guides you through four archetypal paths that exist in the psyche of every human being. When these four ways are in balance, we find our center even as the world spins around us.

This workshop offers practical tools, embodied practices, and timeless wisdom to help you cultivate resilience, connection, clarity, and purposeful action during turbulent times. Each session builds upon the last, creating a comprehensive framework for personal transformation and collective healing.

The Essential Nature of Balance

Balance is not a luxury—it is a prerequisite for health and wellbeing, both individually and collectively. Just as our bodies require nutrition, movement, rest, and connection to thrive, our psyches need the balanced expression of these four archetypal energies. When we over-identify with one way while neglecting others, we create distortion in our lives and communities. The Warrior without the Healer becomes a harsh tyrant; the Visionary without the Teacher becomes ungrounded; the Healer without the Warrior lacks boundaries; the Teacher without the Visionary grows rigid and dogmatic. In our current times of extremes and polarization, this ancient understanding of balance as foundational to health offers both diagnosis and cure. By consciously cultivating all four ways, we restore not only our personal equilibrium but contribute to the rebalancing of our relationships, communities, and society.

The Four Archetypal Paths

The Way of the Warrior

• Practices of Personal and Collective Agency

In chaotic times, the Warrior teaches us to show up with full presence and take purposeful action. This path explores how to stand in your power without domination, act with courage despite uncertainty, and use values and principles for positive change. You'll learn to distinguish between reactive force and responsive power, developing the capacity to be an agent of transformation rather than a victim of circumstance.

The Way of the Healer

• Practices of Connection and Compassion

When the world feels fractured, the Healer reminds us that connection is medicine. This path cultivates the practices of deep listening, authentic relating, and compassionate presence. You'll explore how to tend both personal and collective wounds, build bridges across difference, and create containers of safety and belonging in unstable times. The Healer shows us that vulnerability is strength and that healing spreads through right relationship and compassion.

The Way of the Visionary

• Practices of Generating Hope and Possibility

In the face of despair and limitation, the Visionary opens doorways to a preferred future. This path awakens your capacity to see beyond current circumstances, dream new realities into being, and inspire others with authentic hope. You'll learn practices for accessing intuition, reading the signs of emergence, and holding space for the unknown. The Visionary teaches us that hope and optimism triumphs over the oppression of present circumstances.

The Way of the Teacher

• Practices of Discernment and Wise Choice-Making

When overwhelmed by information and competing narratives, the Teacher offers the gifts of wisdom and discernment. This path develops your capacity to recognize patterns, distill essential truths, and make choices aligned with your deepest knowing. You'll explore how to learn from difficulty, transform experience into wisdom, and guide others through complexity with clarity and grace.
