Discover a new freedom of transformative growth! Learn and understand the relative dominance of the archetypes of six Norse Goddesses in the lives of modern women and how they influence your behavior patterns.
After taking this workshop you will be able to:
• Understand and remove unfair expectations or limiting beliefs
• Recognize major behavior patterns that have influenced your life,
• Understand why you have lived the life you have so far, as well as offering the potential for transformative growth in the future.
You will explore and validate yourself to be as you were meant to be, providing a source of freedom and understanding that you can tap into.
Understand which goddess type is operating most strongly within your behavior patterns and learn to bring more harmony between the various goddess qualities by having them all in balance.
We will discuss both the positive and more challenging aspects of each archetype pattern and share experiences with the other workshop participants.
This will enable you to understand why you have lived the life you have so far, as well as offering the potential for transformative growth in the future. At the end of your journey, you will sing your power as the goddess that you truly are.
