Is the mind of a new born a blank slate? Awaiting stimuli and input from the world to obtain structure and form? The Founder of Analytical Psychology, Carl Jung, based his work on the mapping of archetypes - identical psychic structures that are common to everybody - and he named this phenomena 'the collective unconscious' of humanity. In this 9 months program for positive Masculine development we use the four main masculine archetypes as the basis of our work. They are the Magician, the Warrior, the King and the Lover. “At its core the warrior is a stance towards life that rouses, energizes and motivates, that pushes us to take the offensive and take the challenges that life puts in front of us. It asserts our right to be alive and fuels our willingness and ability to defend ourselves and fight for our survival. Warriors learn to trust their own truth and act on them with absolute conviction, they take responsibility for their own lives. They do not see themselves as victims or outsiders. “I am responsible for what happens here and I must do what I can to make this a better world for myself and for others”. Warriors claim authority and change their worlds by asserting their will upon them. The Warrior is always alert, he is always awake, he is never sleeping through life, he knows how to focus his mind and his body. These qualities require continuous awareness and attention and so to develop and maintain them, the Warrior trains. Mature warriors always fight for something more than themselves. They have a trans-personal commitment to a cause, a god, a commitment, a nation or a task. The real challenge for warriors today is to assert new narratives, imagine new versions of the warrior myth, beyond slaying the dragon, beyond defeating or converting enemies, and towards building bridges. The most important battle is against the tyranny of the dull mind against fear driven ignorance. and that kind of battle requires a different plot, one that does not call for violence or conversion, but one that relies on our capacity to grapple with differences with-ought imposing our notions of good and bad. Conflicting views are invited as a potential for greater understatement. And differences as embraced to build homes. On this path to a better world warriors find ever more confidence, need ever less violence and occasionally allowed to just be, so that perhaps one day they can put down the sword and come home.” The Archetype of the Warrior, from Like Stories of Old on Youtube. In our first session working with the Warrior Archetype we will explore Jiu Jitsu Martial Art in the morning; And we will explore the Warrior Within in the afternoon. Jiu Jitsu with Vitor Cruz: The martial art of Jiu Jitsu was born out of the warrior culture of Japan. From these roots it travelled and was further developed in Brazil. Known as the 'soft art', it has been recognised to work the whole body as well as improving flexibility, physical fitness, and cardiovascular and respiratory health. It also helps to combat stress and defensiveness. Practicing the art of Jiu Jitsu promotes both discipline and respect. Throughout the day we will be covering: - Respect - Self-Defence - Self-Esteem - Self-Control (relating to tension and anxiety) - Lifestyle The Warrior with Paulo Xavier: Thousands of years ago, Chinese created a character for the word “Me” that shows two spears fighting. This vision of the Self as the place where conflicts happen is quite profound and very contemporary. Understanding those Warriors that battle inside us is the key for us to make free choices. Otherwise we will be trapped in our own unconscious constraints. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ When? - Sunday 29th of December.. - From 10h to 19h. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Value? - 30€. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Reservations - Send a reservation request to our email to join the full program or one of the sessions. - We request you to transfer the value to make the reservation. - Email: themenrevolution@gmail.com ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Want to speak to us?
