Remyth Your Story: Integrating your Feminine and Masculine Archetypes

Author Dr. Jean Benedict Raffa explores the interface between psychology, spirituality, and your life’s myth in her newest Nautilus Award-winning book, The Soul’s Twins: Emancipate Your Feminine and Masculine Archetypes. The Soul’s Twins introduces the Partnership Profile, an informal self-assessment that helps users to separate gender stereotypes from our innate masculine and feminine archetypes. Emancipating our archetypes from gender stereotypes releases an invaluable capacity for developing a loving relationship with oneself and others. This presentation will include a big dream from the author’s childhood that shaped her life’s myth, motivated her studies in Jungian psychology, and inspired her creation of the Partnership Profile. Participants will receive a pdf of the self-assessment when they register for the presentation, and Dr. Raffa will lead a Q & A about the meaning of their results. Throughout the program, attendees will understand the difference between an archetype and an archetypal image, be able to identify eight archetypal images that cultures associate with gender (and a ninth androgynous archetype of unity and wholeness), identify dream images of issues related to these nine archetypes and their instinctual behaviors, and gain insights into how their life’s myth has been shaped by unconscious archetypal forces and gender biases.
