Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
~Mary Oliver
This course explores various ways depth and archetypal psychologies can help us answer the poet Mary Oliver’s key question about vocation—“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” We’ll mine myths, stories, poetry, biography and memoir, indigenous wisdom, archetypal astrology, typology and other typing systems, our embodied experience of bliss—to name a few of our tools—in an attempt to excavate our authentic vocation, and to discover, uncover, and/or recover our soul’s purpose, power, and pleasure.
THIS COURSE WELCOMES PARTICIPANTS WHO MAY BE
THIS COURSE WELCOMES PARTICIPANTS WHO MAY BE
- Feeling stuck at a vocational impasse or stopped at a professional dead end
- Considering a career change or a way to be enlivened with their current work situation
- Seeking a deeper psychological understanding of their vocational choices in order to find the courage to change
- Struggling with the tension between the external demands of the marketplace (how do I make money?) and the internal demands of the soul (how do I make meaning?)
- Wishing to live a vocational life more in alignment with their sense of purpose and in attunement with their sense of calling
There is perhaps nothing worse than reaching the top of the ladder and discovering that you’re on the wrong wall.
~Joseph Campbell
Participants are welcome at any stage of life, whether they are just beginning their vocational journeys; whether they find themselves in midlife with their ladders against the wrong wall; whether they are of retirement age, seeking to do work in the world in alignment with their souls; and any stages in between.
FORMAT
During our live Zoom session, Jennifer will lay out the fundamentals of the course, beginning with the imaginative idea offered by archetypal psychologist James Hillman in his book The Soul’s Code: In Search of Character and Calling, that we are born coded with a calling and given the specific character to live out that calling. She'll couple that with a discussion of what educator Parker Palmer calls "the tragic gap" - in this context, the gap between the work we are doing in the world and the work we feel called to do. Jennifer will introduce her original and unique tool - the archetypal genius star - which can serve as a guiding light in helping us discern our purpose and a lodestar to help us keep on the path of purpose, power, and pleasure. In the online modules, participants will continue to work with the star tool to further conceptualize their vocational superpowers.

If you realize that in your life work you might be in an archetypal role of some kind, and play it that way, it’s a much more informing view of ourselves. Without it, we’re in a wasteland.
~Joseph Campbell
Whether our vocational lives are a wasteland or a wonderland may depend in part on how aligned, attuned, and at one we are with the white and bright light energy shining through our unique archetypal stars.
