Michael Meade's new in-depth course explores how the myth of the Wounded Healer is a key story for understanding the crisis of our time. If we desire to heal ourselves and the world around us, we would be wise to learn directly from this archetypal source for finding wisdom, healing and renewed vision.
In Greek myths Chiron was a centaur, half-human and half-horse. He was also part-human and part-divine, thus symbolizing the conflicted nature of the human soul. Chiron bears an incurable wound which can represent each person’s primal trauma, yet can also become the area where we each find our gift for healing.
Chiron represents the archetypal image of the Wounded Healer in each soul, which knows the pain of suffering as well as the nature of healing. A key theme in the myth of the Wounder Healer involves a repression of instincts and a denial of intuition which are intended to lead to a redemption of the rejected, orphaned and marginalized parts of our psyche.
Chiron’s story reveals an initiatory path that involves the healing of divisions, the depths of empathy, the role of mentoring, and the capacity for spiritual growth. At critical times in both our individual and collective lives a great crisis will activate the healing and renewing energies of the soul.
DURING THIS COURSE YOU WILL LEARN:
- How to handle increasing levels of uncertainty and overwhelm in the world by drawing on the deep resources of our self and soul.
- How fear can serve as a guide when we are faced with the need to change our lives.
- How to navigate crossroads in life by finding the resiliency to recover from early life issues and the courage to change.
- How being on the threshold involves awakening to the purpose of our life and following our calling and destiny.
- How we are not alone in times of change, but rather archetypal forces can help us find new ways of healing, and creative ways of transforming our lives.
