The Ocean and River Woman Archetype represents a surrender of the ego in order to live from love. Like a devotee entering a sacred river, by immersing yourself in this archetype you lay claim to the wild river of your wanting. The initiated Ocean and River Woman knows how to dance with her emotions in a way that brings her fully alive. No longer afraid to express her emotions, they become the current that sets the course of her life and initiates her own re-birthing process. In this five-part course, you will explore your own relationship to Ocean and River Woman and learn how she has the power to dissolve the ego and reveal your deeper, greater self within. You will be guided on this journey by Mary Reynolds Thompson, author and facilitator of poetry and journal therapy, and a pioneer in the emerging field of spiritual ecology.
In this online course, you will:
- Explore the archetypal significance of Ocean and River Woman in your life
- Plunge into the depths of your longing in order to find your place of belonging
- Reclaim the power of your emotions to shape the contours of your existence
- Write from a deeper and more creative place
Each session will be 90 minutes long and will offer multiple writing prompts. There will also be opportunities to share what you write in small, intimate groups. The work is creative, deep, imaginative, and allows for many different styles of writing techniques, from poetry to prose. No previous writing experience is necessary.
Throughout the sessions, you will be inspired by quotes, poetry, embodied exercises, writing exercises, and meditations.
