Things continue to go well here at my summer session at Pacifica! Ginette Paris’ course has been so dynamic!!
On Thursday, we started the morning off discussing Life Stories and how we come at things from varying archetypal perspectives. We did some personal writing and then some small group work that really helped us see where these things are active in our lives. We talked about how each archetype has both its destructive and divine aspects, a dark side and a positive side.
In the afternoon, we continued discussing archetypes, looking at the film Karakter. It was a very powerful film that exemplified the Zeus archetype. Ginette would pause and discuss important elements while we were going through it, offering great commentary. Due to time constraints, we did skip some scenes, so I would like to go back and watch it in complete.
I completed the day with these thoughts from Ginette at the forefront of my mind:
The psychic house always has to be cleansed, just like how the dishes always have to be done.
Be active in your destiny. Plunge and take the risk.
Then we got out of class a little early because Thursday was the formal dinner and dance. It was a beautiful celebration and a goodbye to the third year students. It was emotional indeed, as this was the cohort I originally began with before taking my leave of absence. My husband was able to come and join us for the event, which was wonderful! Especially now that he is here with me, I would be happy to stay right here at Pacifica! Who needs to go home?? Oh, wait, I do have those two pups waiting for me!! I have missed them this week.
Have a beautiful Friday, everyone!
