Archetypal Upgrade: Unlock Your Primal Vitality Through Archetypes
Underneath your habits and your fatigue lies a deeper store of life force. Archetypes are a powerful way into this layer of yourself.
Description
Most of us live on a fraction of our available energy. We get through the day, but something wild, playful, and alive stays locked away. Dr. Brian Tierney, PhD, calls that untapped energy primal vitality, and he sees archetypes as a key to it.
Archetypes are the deep patterns that shape how we move, feel, imagine, and relate: the energies that show up in our dreams, our bodies, our dancing, and our work. When we don't know them, they quietly run us. When we come to know them, they become resources we can draw on.
In this free two-hour online workshop, Dr. Tierney shows how archetypes live in the body and how working with them through imagination can open up hidden reserves of energy, creativity, and aliveness. You will learn to notice which patterns are already moving you, and try a guided imagery practice that you can keep using at home.
Dr. Brian Tierney, PhD, is a somatic psychologist with 25 years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and the creator of the Visionary Somatics method. His book, Visionary Somatics: Embodied Resilience in the Age of Trauma, comes out from Healing Arts Press in February 2027.
You will leave with
- A clear sense of what archetypes are and how they live in the body
- A way to recognize the patterns that drive you
- A guided imagery practice for building vitality
- Time for your questions
