Artemis, Archetype Liberated by the Women’s Movement
More: Artemis the Greek Goddess of the Hunt and Moon (Roman Goddess Diana), twin sister of Apollo is the archetype of the feminist, environmental and social justice activist, whose major symbols are the bow and arrow, crescent moon, and mother bear. Myths reveal archetypal patterns in women who personify Artemis: sisterhood with women, brother-relationships with men; ability to focus on goals of her own, quick to act and punish, outrage, and whose realm is the wilderness. This is the archetype of the women’s movement and the archetype liberated by it in the latter part of the 20th Century. Artemis is lived out in women, is an anima image in egalitarian men, and a major image of women onscreen and in the world. Film image and real life roles come together in actress Angelina Jolie, special ambassador for UNICEF, whose personal life exemplifies Artemis qualities, and in Emma Watson of Harry Potter screen fame, spokesperson for UN Women, the UN Entity for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women.

Wednesday, December 2: Workshop: Artemis,
The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman
The archetype of Artemis is in women who share qualities that describe Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt and Moon. It is the archetype in women who are activists, feminists, environmentalists, have a love of nature, a sense of sisterhood with women and equality with men. Artemis enables women to focus on targets of their own choosing, to set goals for themselves. In families where girl and women are expected to be obedient or compliant, a wise and courageous Artemis child may become silent and keep these qualities alive in her imagination. The moon aspect is about spirituality and reflection. Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen is a noted author, Jungian analyst, psychiatrist and activist, who also is a story-teller. When she tell us stories of Artemis and the mortal Atalanta, they become alive and we make connections between ourselves and this archetype or between ourselves and women we know and are attracted to who personify Artemis.

Artemis the Archetype Liberated by the Women's Movement
Artemis the Greek Goddess of the Hunt and Moon, twin sister of Apollo is the archetype of the activist—for women, social justice, animals, and environment. Her symbols are the bow and arrow, the crescent moon, and mother bear; her realm is the wilderness. In this talk, Jean Shinoda Bolen brings Artemis to life through storytelling, amplified by examples from life and analysis which are likely to resonate in listeners who will recognize Artemis in themselves as archetype or anima.
Saturday, November 28: Seminar:
Path with Soul/Path with Heart: the Inner Compass
People have an innate sense that there is a purpose to life, related to the idea that life is a soul journey. Jung’s individuation, Campbell’s finding your personal myth, the hero’s journey, Persephone’s abduction into the underworld are variations of the message. We suffer life-threatening illnesses, heart-breaking losses, betrayed expectations. They take us into unfamiliar terrain. We find ourselves at a crossroad. Which path to take? What is an inner compass: what can we know in our bones?

Conversation between Jean Shinoda Bolen & Terry Tempest Williams
"Deepening Conversation, Finding Common Ground:
Circles with a Spiritual Center"
A conversation between two activists, noted writers, and distinguished honorees in their respective fields. Terry Tempest Williams is a naturalist, Jean Shinoda Bolen MD is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst. Both are spiritually motivated at their core by love and mystical experiences. Terry’s Mormon roots, Jean’s Presbyterian beginnings and their respective religious, spiritual and psychological journeys, what sustains them in adversity and loss, how they write, and where inspiration comes from, are areas they will explore. This will be a spontaneous conversation between two inner-directed women, who have an appreciation and love for each other and for their respective work, and have spent very little real time together. The Self, synchronicity and the Sacred Feminine are concept words for personal experiences that have mattered to them, and have touched their readers. Where this conversation will go and what emerges may likely relate to the Mystery that underlies their individuation, and each of our personal myths. Terry is a
n activist for the environment and beauty, has testified before Congress and participated in demonstrations. Jean is an advocate for a UN 5th World Conference on Women as a means of energizing the global women’s movement.

August 16-21, Esalen Institute - Big Sur, CA
5-Day Workshop
Your One Wild and Precious Life: A Deepening Gathering for Women
The premise of Jean’s Jungian, feminist, and spiritual perspective begins with the certainty that it matters what we do with our “one wild and precious life,” a quote from the poet, Mary Oliver. To find and live our personal myth, is to be true to who we are. For many who attend, the likelihood is that Artemis the goddess of the hunt and moon, whose real and metaphoric terrain is the wilderness -- is an archetype, inner child, and activist.
The archetypes in Jean's Goddesses in Everywoman are within us, and the expectations and limitations from outside of us, act powerfully on us. What happens to us and the choices we make ourselves, shape the path we are on which is a soul journey. This workshop invites self-reflection and deepening. It is an invitation to meet Hecate. the goddess of the crossroads, and archetype at the threshold between phases, as an inner figure.
Jean weaves psychological insights, spiritual meaning and music into her storytelling which bring myths to life and relevancy. Participants will have time in small circles with a sacred center for discussion.

Feathered Pipe Ranch
Week-Long Retreat
Women’s Retreat: Water, Moon, Yin: A Women's Retreat
For the first time, a river will run through the workshop--we will raft down a tributary of the Missouri River in the middle of the week. The moon will be moving out of new moon into first quarter when we begin, which is an aspect of Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt and Moon, archetype of the sister, goal achiever, and activist, whose realm is the wilderness. There will be time to listen to stories and myths, to be playful, to be in circle, to have opportunities for friendship and solitude. In the midst of the beauty of the outer world of big sky, trees, hills and lake at Feathered Pipe, the inner world is evoked, the inner child remembered. Participating in a ritual sweat lodge will be an option. Nature and women together result in an emerging awareness of the sacred feminine, women’s mysteries, and women’s wisdom.

Indomitable spirit in Activists and the Archetype of Artemis
The archetype of Artemis was liberated by the women’s movement. It is the archetype in women with an innate sense of social justice, equality with men and sisterhood with women. Like Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt and Moon, whose realm was the wilderness and symbol was the Mother Bear, this archetype enables women to focus on targets of their own choosing, to be protective of girls and the environment, and have a spiritual connection with Nature. Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD is an internationally known speaker and author of thirteen books, including The Millionth Circle, Goddesses is Everywoman, Urgent Message From Mother and Artemis:The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman. Dr. Bolen is an advocate for a UN 5th World Conference on Women, the first since Beijing 1995, in which 40,000 women attended the Forum and were role models and support for each other . Real life and fictional women embody Artemis: Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, fictional Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and Jo in Little Women, as well as Gloria Steinem, Angelina Jolie as special UN representative of UNICEF, and Wangari Matthai. Nobel Laureate who inspired the Green Belt movement in Africa. Learning through stories, myths and insight, we will see the strengths, vulnerabilities, and shadow of this archetype in ourselves. Talk followed by discussion.

Online Course:
Artemis – Goddess, Archetype, Inner Child, Activist
The archetype of Artemis was liberated by the women's movement, it is the archetype in women who are activists, entrepreneurs, feminists with an innate sense of social justice, equality with men, and sisterhood with women. Like Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt and Moon, this archetype enables women to focus on targets of their own choosing, to set goals for themselves, and go into new terrain. In families or cultures where girls and women are expected to be obedient or compliant, a wise and courageous inner child may become silent, kept alive in the imagination. The moon aspect is about the capacity for reflection and spirituality. The psychology of Artemis, Athena, Hestia, the virgin goddesses of Greek Mythology, is of "one-in-herself, an archetypal quality that remains untamed and unsubdued--indomitable no matter what happens to them.
In this three-part course, storytelling and meaning come together when Jungian analyst and author tells about Artemis the goddess, Atalanta the mortal, and examples of girls and women who drew upon these archetypal sources as a means for participants to see their own lives and the lives of others in this light. The realm of Artemis is the "Wilderness" as a place to find beauty and oneness with nature, and a metaphor for going into the unknown, the transition zones in our lives. Jean's books and talks touch people deeply, reaching imagination and feelings.

Author, Jungian analyst, and activist Jean Bolen returns to the Sophia Institute to lead a workshop on the Emergence of the Empowered Feminine. She will be telling stories from myths and life, and examples from events in the world. We know her as a storyteller whose stories touch us because they reveal something important about us. There is meaning and inspiration in stories from Atalanta: The Indomitable Spirit of the Artemis Archetype--her current writing, from Arthurian legends and myths. The empowered feminine is about wholeness, healing and authenticity, it is about heart-centered activism and creativity. There will likely be a guided meditation, small circle participation, and discussion.

Catching Fire: Imagination and Activism
Imagination precedes change—psyche is activated by stories, role models, and dreams that touch soul. Passion and imagination precedes creativity, healing, activism on behalf of ourselves and others. Compassionate action is spiritual activism. Fierce compassion says “enough is enough!” Outrage in defense of what and who we love is mother bear activism and the protective masculine that finds the strength to rise up to save what we love, which can be a precious part of ourselves. When a vision of who we could be catches fire, we become activists on behalf of ourselves. To live our personal myth, individuation, finding meaning are related to small and large acts of courage. Heart-centered activism inspired her newest book, Moving Toward the Millionth Circle.
Saturday, Oct. 5th, Workshop 9AM - 5PM
Path with Soul/Path with Heart: the Inner Compass
Saturday, Oct. 5th, Workshop 9AM - 5PM
We have an innate sense that there is a purpose to life which is related to the idea that life is a soul journey. To do what we came to do and be who we were meant to be is not so easy. Jung’s individuation, Campbell’s finding your personal myth, the hero’s journey; Persephone’s abduction into the underworld, the gods and goddess archetypes may help support the choices we make. In this workshop Jean Bolen invites us to remember and connect with our inner compass: it may be what we know in our bones, which as in her book, Close to the Bone, is soul knowledge that we may decide to trust in the midst of a potentially terminal illness. Or it is heart-chakra information: what our heart knows is true for us. The most difficult experiences in life may be opportunities to align with soul.

Annual Labyrinth Society Gathering
Friday, Sept. 20th, 7pm
Keynote: Labyrinths for Global Healing, Landscapes for the Soul
The labyrinth is a powerful image and metaphor for a soul path. Walking a labyrinth with this awareness deepens the metaphor and is an enactment of it. Making a labyrinth in silent absorption taps into a deeper knowing. Going to sacred places with the receptivity of a pilgrim is to take a labyrinthine journey to a place of centering, to receive something, and return with it. All are ritual acts. In this keynote, Jean will describe her experiences with the archetype and reality of the labyrinth and tell how she uses and draws upon it in her work as a Jungian analyst and as a global activist.
Saturday, 9:00 to 11:15 am
Workshop: Living Life as if in a Labyrinth
Saturday, 9:00 to 11:15 am
Workshop: Living Life as if in a Labyrinth
Soul work, one’s personal myth, Jungian concept of individuation, midlife centering possibilities, life-threatening illness, spiritual beings on a human path, descents into the underworld, becoming a heart-centered activist are all labyrinthine journeys. In walking a labyrinth and musing upon our lives, we realize that there are no dead-ends, only unexpected turns that test our faith that there is meaning to being here. As Jean tells stories and myths, we find ourselves remembering and reflecting upon significant times in our lives. Whether we know it or not, at every significant juncture in our lives, we have been at a crossroad with Hecate, that place of consciousness and choice.
(ref: Close to the Bone, Goddesses in Everywoman, Goddesses in Older Women, Gods in Everyman)
Circle Experience: “Circles with a Sacred Center”
Jean will convene this as a circle with the invisible presence of Hestia goddess of the Hearth and Temple at the center, an experience of a circle as a “temenos” or sanctuary, that also contributes toward the metaphoric, tipping point, “millionth circle."

Lecture: The Meaning We Make of the Numinous
We come into the world with the capacity for awe and wonder. We are receptive to the numinous and through the millennia, have worshiped divinity in countless forms This is what distinguishes us from all other creatures with whom we share much DNA. Sacred experiences like synchronicities are subjective, some are major special moments in which we feel connected with Divinity, the Great Mystery, the Tao, the Self. A profound sense of connection and meaning often accompanies the numinous, which is gnostic not intellectual, and comes via active imagination, dreams, physical and spiritual experiences.

Women’s Workshop with Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD and Barbara McAfee
Times of Change and Creativity: At the Crossroad with Hecate
We invite Artemis and Hecate (and women who know or want to know them) to come to this summer’s women’s workshop at the Feathered Pipe Ranch. Both are goddess-archetypes of the moon. With the full moon in Cancer on June 23 following the shortly after the Summer Solstice, this retreat is a time for clarity and reflection. Hecate is a liminal figure between upper world and underworld. She exists at transitions between one phase of life and the next, between this world and the other side, between past, present and future. Midweek we will enter into a shamanic cave through a labyrinthine passage that has metaphoric meaning as a descent into the underworld and as a womb space and birth passage for new life, activism and creativity when we come back into the upper world. There will be music and song in the circle and sound that will resonate in the cave because Barbara McAfee is joining Jean as a co-leader. Some form of singing, chanting or humming will find a place in most aspects of this workshop. We’ll find that sound and vocal presence resonates with the heart center--the inner compass on a path with heart or soul journey.

GIVING BIRTH, FINDING FORM:
Where My Books Come From
Jean Shinoda Bolen
"I think of writing as giving form to feelings and intuition that grow from a seed idea. I get pregnant with a new book. Synchronicities support its growth and development. This talk is an opportunity for me to reflect upon writing and the relationship of it to what I do as an analyst and activist. Writing is like all other individuation choices—it takes courage to be original, to say what is true, anticipating real or imagined outer consequences. To write can be an invitation to do what you love, to act from your heart. When such is the case, ego and Self, archetypes and life story come together. From conception to delivery is an inner process. Taking it into the world, quite another matter of persona and marketing. It takes love, hope, imagination, perseverance, optimism, absorption, and commitment to write a book, or to make a conscious decision to have a baby, especially when this may be a difficult undertaking, or making a midlife transition that leads to birthing a new life.”

Omega Institute for Holistic Studies
Workshop
Your One Wild and Precious Life: A Deepening Gathering for Women
In Jean’s storytelling, myth comes to life. In listening, there is resonance with the archetypal depth in the psyche. The premise of Jean’s Jungian, feminist, and spiritual perspective begins with the notion that it matters what we do with our “one wild and precious life,” a quote from the poet, Mary Oliver. To find and live our personal myth, is to be true to who we are. The goddess archetypes in us and the expectations and limitations from outside of us, act powerfully on us. What happens to us and the choices we make ourselves, shape the path we are on. What happens in us, is soul-shaping. While any of the archetypal goddesses and gods may be active, a workshop that invites self-reflection and deepening, will invite us to meet Hecate. the goddess-archetype at the threshold of transitions. Hecate was goddess of the crossroads, with the attributes of midwife, witness, witch, and personification of intuitive and psychic wisdom. She is an inner figure, and the third, crone aspect of the great goddess, associated with the waning moon, autumn and the third phase of women’s lives. Jean sees humanity at a Hecate crossroad and women’s consciousness and choice as crucial to what happens to humanity and the planet.
In this workshop, the experiential elements include a guided meditation, inner reflection, and participation in a circle with a sacred center. Circles such as these are in the shape of a mandala, with Hestia at the center. Hestia, goddess of the hearth and temple, was present in the fire at the center of a round hearth, and as such, is a symbol of the Self or divinity. Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and moon, is likely to be one of the active archetypes in participants. Music and poetry will add to the experience.

Trees and Tree People: Greening Ourselves, Saving the Planet
The learning experience that led to this talk and Jean’s latest book, Like a Tree: How Trees, Women, and Tree People Can Save the Planet began when a huge beautiful tree in front of her house was cut down through a vote by a homeowner’s association. The tree came down while she was at the United Nations, where in a conversation about her unsuccessful effort to save the tree, Gloria Steinem, remarked; “Remember Jean, you are a writer, and a writer has the last word. That there is a difference between “tree people” and “not-tree people” was a beginning insight. Her words will lead us from knowledge of what trees are and what they do, to the symbolic, sacred meaning, soulfulness and wisdom of trees. She invites us to be mystical activists, visionary activists, and sacred-feminine feminists-- to heed a call that touches heart and soul.

Grail, Goddesses, Circles and the Sacred Feminine
Workshop, Sat. May 5, 2012
9 am – 5 pm, $80 6 CEU’s
The grail and goddesses are archetypes, symbols with depth and meaning. In this workshop, Jean Shinoda Bolen will bring us into the legendary, mythic and spiritual realm of the sacred feminine. Cut off from sources of meaning, without a connection to the feminine principle, the Tao or the Self, the inner landscape of men and women becomes a wasteland. The wounded Fisher King, the abduction of Persephone, Siddharta's quest are metaphors for depression and alienation and the loss of creativity, spontaneity, and love. We will listen to Jean tell stories, participate in a guided meditation and a circle with a sacred center. This workshop will provide opportunities to be in touch with inner sources of wisdom and compassionate action and encourage the formation of circles that can nourish and support who we are and what we are here for--as spiritual beings on a human path.

That there is a difference between “tree people” and “not-tree people” was a beginning insight. Seeing a connection between trees and girls as property added another dimension. Add a Jungian-Feminist lens as in her book, Ring of Power and the result is a way of seeing how archetypes and individuation can result in activism. Her advocacy of a UN 5th World Conference on Women is an expression of this. Jean invites us to be mystical activists, visionary activists, sacred-feminine feminists—or green and juicy people!

The Sacred Feminine: Grail, Goddesses & Circles
The grail and goddesses are archetypes, symbols with depth and meaning. In this workshop, Jean Shinoda Bolen will bring us into the legendary, mythic and spiritual realm of the sacred feminine. Cut off from sources of meaning, without a connection to the feminine principle, the Tao or the Self, the inner landscape of men and women becomes a wasteland. The wounded Fisher King and the abduction of Persephone are metaphors for depression, alienation, life-threatening illness, and addictions on a personal level, that are related to the loss of creativity, spontaneity, and love. These are also metaphors for what ails the planet. We will listen to Jean tell stories, participate in a guided meditation and a circle experience. This workshop will provide opportunities to be in touch with inner sources of wisdom and compassion, encourage the formation of circles with a sacred center, and inspire possibilities of change and transformation.

Awakening and Aging: Act III of Your Life
In the theater, Acts I and II build toward resolution in Act III. Such also is life. We are surprised at how fast time and years have gone by and wonder, “How did I get this old?, and (if we are fortunate), How young I still am.!” People born at the beginning of the 20th century did not expect to live much past 50. Now, 50 is what 30 used to be— and at 50, 60. 70, 80 —we think of living to 100. The personal myth or individuation story or soul journey—all have meaning as a premise for being here. With more years to live, there are major choices to be made that shape who we are becoming. It is in the third act, that character shows, wisdom and humor matter, and cultivation of an inner life is compatible with making a difference in the world.
