Exploring Masculine Archetypes: New Online Class from Ageless Grace Online Academy

WEST POINT, Ga. - Oct. 28, 2014 - PRLog -- The Ageless Grace Online Academy introduces a new virtual course taught by Dr. Richard Gibson and the Reverend Casaundra Bennett. The only requirement for participating in the course is access to the Internet.

The course, designed specifically for women, is based on the book King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Jungian Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette. During this self-paced course that begins on November 3 and runs through November 30, students will have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with four of the primary masculine archetypes: King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover. They will begin to understand exactly how these archetypes manifest in their mature and generative forms, as well as in their immature and shadow forms, and how to recognize them, befriend them, and call on them as allies.

Visit www.agelessgraceacademy.blogspot.com to register. Course tuition is $89.00.

As a result of participating in this course, and a gentle openness to engaging in this work, one can expect to:

Understand the importance of establishing a conversation with the masculine archetypes (mature and shadow) residing in your psyche.

Deepen your self-awareness and understanding of how male archetypes have influenced your beliefs, choices and behaviors.

Increase your sense of personal power as you understand that the male archetypes are a "given" - part of your intrinsic psychic wiring, regardless of your particular life experiences with actual men.

Employ proven self-exploration tools and methods of self-reflection that will expand your sense of self-understanding, awareness of the choices available to you, and ultimately the freedom that belongs to you.
