Sovereignty and a Sense of Purpose

Breaking the Spell

Hazel Hill Wood

<h1>Sovereign Purpose</h1><h2>3 day Woodland Retreat for Men led by Michael Boyle </h2><h2>An Archetypal journey towards the Man you want to be....</h2><h3>Thursday 26th - Sunday 29th May 2022</h3>We are living through one of the most fundamental shifts in human history - a transition phase between a civilisation that is passing and one that is ready to be re-born. A new mythology is emerging – an actual transformation in belief structures – grounded upon an integration of new science and ancient spiritual wisdom. Now is the perfect time for every man to step fully and powerfully into his Sovereign authentic purpose.This highly experiential residential workshop is a deep dive into personal alignment with Purpose - integrating matters of Soul, Service, Fate, Destiny and Meaning with Archetypes and Myth. As a framework, we will be activating a powerful portal of the ten key Archetypes intrinsic to our Solar system – the Sovereign being the Solar principle that aligns all others. This is far from typology - each man will discover his individual archetypal pattern, as well as meet and move through the particular archetypal shadows that undermine his best interests and hold him back.

“ Who are you really Wanderer ?
 Who are you really Wanderer ?
And the answer you have to give, no matter how dark 
and cold the world around you is:
 Maybe I’m a King.”

 - “A Story that could be True” by William Stafford

<h2>About Archetypes</h2>One of Carl Jung’s key contributions to psychology has been the recognition of Archetypes as both the key components of myths and stories as well as being the forms of human instincts and innate aspects of the psyche. The content of consciousness and our experience of the world are continually shaped by archetypes. We are all living stories, that is, we are living out archetypal patterns.So, by understanding and integrating our current archetypal pattern, we can choose to live in alignment with who we truly are and what wants to express itself through us.Archetypal activation can generate creativity, meaningful endeavour and expand potentials for Self, nature and culture.Accessing our emotional wisdom will guide our creative energies towards the healing and renewal essential for these transitionary times.

<h2>About Michael Boyle</h2>Michael’s engagement with men’s transformational work began back in the early nineties participating in ritual workshops led by Robert Bly, James Hillman and Michael Meade within what has become known as the Mythopoetic tradition. Since then, as a Jungian centered psychotherapist and facilitator, his working journey has taken him from campfires to board rooms to prison cells, rehearsal rooms and corporate conferences. Michael is a Founding Partner and Programme Director at Olivier Mythodrama, a creative leadership consultancy and has over 20 years experience of bringing depth psychology, theatre and myth to a wide variety of leadership teams and business schools. He is the Founder of Abandofbrothers, a charity providing rites of passage experiences and local mentors for disaffected young men.He is also a certified Leader and Leader Trainer for the ManKind Project, a global men’s network, and leads “The Adventure,” an initiatory experience for men, internationally.His most recent project, Breaking the Spell, is specifically designed to support men and women to liberate themselves from restricting personal and cultural conditioning. “Sovereign Purpose” draws and builds upon this work and looks forward to a post- Covid awakening and the opportunities that will arise for men to co-create and participate in the evolving new era.

<h2>What People are saying....</h2>“So often in these feedback&#x27;s you see people say the experience has been life changing and I often think they are just saying that, but for me it has been completely life changing. I am a different person, I probably look the same but there is a solidity within where before there were voids, doubts and negative voices coaching me to not value me&quot; C B, Yorkshire“Just to let you that since doing your course my life has evolved in ways that I didn’t know I didn’t know, so thank you for your wonderful contribution.” N R, Nottingham“I would heartily, and I mean that, recommend this course to anyone who’s interested in breaking old patterns of behaviour, and anyone who’s interested in waking up, and enquiring into who they could truly be. &quot; A H, Rome“Michael’s delivery was exquisite. He weaves poetry, process work, group discussion and a variety of practical stuff to create a rich learning experience, never letting slip an opportunity to deepen the group.” R J, London“Presentations made with humour, putting people at ease and making for an easier fix in the memory. Michael appeared absolutely available and willing to include all of himself in the experience. He never acted above us and I felt tremendous humility and wisdom from him.” R B, Scotland
