Voices of the Archetypes - Exploring Place

We are living in a time that calls for courage, creativity, and authentic leadership. A time when healers, storytellers, poets, soul and heart-led leaders and visionaries are needed more than ever.

This six-week guided workshop is designed to take you on a profound journey of self-exploration. Through the lens of archetypes, universal patterns woven into our stories and psyches, you will uncover the narratives of resilience, wonder, transformation, and truth within you.

We will be working with the unconscious, calling in certain archetypes and honouring those that have shaped, guided, and challenged us. These archetypes weren’t chosen at random, they were called in for those that will be joining. This will be an opportunity to work with, embrace and embody these archetypes. Each one has arrived with purpose, and if you feel the pull toward this journey, trust that one (or all) is calling you too.

By exploring both the shadow and the light, you will gain deeper self-awareness, embrace your personal mythology, and find new ways to express your voice and purpose.

Sometimes you will create beautiful poetry and other times, you will be entirely in process. Most of the time, both. This is as much about writing words as it is doing shadow work.

Place as an archetype invites us to enter the inner terrains of the soul:
- to listen to the landscapes that live within and around us,
- to notice where we dwell and where we resist going,
- to find home in both the wild and the sacred spaces of our own being.

It feels right that we begin in January, as the earth quiets and winter draws us inward. A season for reflection, gestation, and renewal. A time to step once more into the mythic and let the land, both seen and unseen, speak through us.

What to Expect

• A small, intimate group (max. 5 participants) to create a safe space for sharing.
• Live, interactive Zoom sessions with guided reflections and writing prompts.
• A private WhatsApp group for connection, and continued exploration.
• Weekly creative assignments in between session to further deepen into the work.
• A journey through six soulful archetypes, each offering a unique lens to explore your story.

The Six-Week Journey: The Places

Week 1 – The Heart
The Heart asks us to soften, to lead not from knowing, but from feeling. This week, we return to the pulse beneath all guidance: compassion, courage, and care. We explore what it means to teach, guide, and hold space through love rather than knowledge, to walk beside others with an open, unarmoured heart.

Week 2 – The Temple
The Temple invites that same innocence into devotion, to treat creativity as ceremony and curiosity as prayer. This week, we explore the sacred in the simple, the divine in our delight, and the holiness of being fully alive.

Week 3 – The Desert
The Desert calls us to the empty spaces that follow creation, where inspiration runs dry and silence becomes teacher. This week, we learn to trust the pause, to meet the discomfort of stillness, and to discover the quiet creative renewal that comes after surrender.

Week 4 – The Underworld
The Underworld now asks what must die for us to truly reign. This week, we descend into the unseen, the shadows of control, pride, and power, to reclaim what has been exiled. We learn that true leadership is born not from ruling above, but rising from below.

Week 5 – The Castle
The Castle builds form around that wisdom, a structure to house the sacred. This week, we explore our inner architecture: the rituals, practices, and boundaries that support our spiritual life. The question becomes, how can the mystical find a home in the everyday?

Week 6 – The Womb
The Womb now welcomes them home, a place of rest, integration, and rebirth. This week, we honour the cycles of death and renewal, the stories that wish to end and those waiting to be born. The journey continues, but for now, we return to the beginning, to the fertile dark where all creation begins again.

Who is guiding you?

A poet, storyteller, and strategist, she achieved a level of corporate success at 24 that many only dream of. Yet, the higher she climbed the corporate ladder, the further she drifted from her true self.

Through grief and loss, Alex realised she was living her life as a character, not the author. So, she picked up the pen and rewrote her own story. Choosing courage over convention, she rebuilt her life into something truer.

Today, Alex is twice-named a LinkedIn Top Voice UK, a LinkedIn Learning Instructor with over half a million learners, and a co-creator of the LinkedIn Local movement, reaching 100+ countries and 1,000 cities. Her impact is bigger than she ever imagined — because it’s hers.

Alex helps people align their soul with strategy and career with connection through talks, writing workshops and guiding. "Speaker" doesn’t capture it. Alex is a storyteller, unravelling your own story alongside hers.

She creates space for healing and transformation through creativity, mythology, and ancestral wisdom. Together, she leads you to the most powerful place of all: Your heart.
