Archetypes of the Soul 2 – defense mechanism typologies

3rd – 6th of October 2019 in Berlin (MahaYoga Zentrum) – no previous knowledge required

Chloe Hünefeld and Dr. Doru Bodea will present in this three and a half day seminar insights, with theoretical and practical components, about the defense mechanism typologies.

This seminar is a premiere.

About the seminar

This three and a half day seminar takes place in a relaxed atmosphere of the  MahaYoga Zentrum in Berlin, where you can unwind in the idyllic courtyard during the breaks.

What we usually call a defense-mechanism typology is an archetypal “distortion” of the energy field (known also as the aura) of a human being. Sometimes such mechanisms are also known as “wounds” which prevent us from simply being ourselves, generating self-imposed limitations.

Such “distortions” are a direct reflection of various concepts and mentalities shaped during childhood time and then kept over many years; some might have been inherited from previous existences. They now reflect both on the physical as well as on the psychic structures, thus, the bodily shape, the energy flow, and consequently, inner basic impulses and many life events are all effects of the existence of such a typology. Every human being presents more or less at least one such defense mechanisms. It will define subconscious reaction patterns, typical modalities to act, predominant manners to subtly move our energies, and it will generate fundamental needs which will be very present during daily life.

Becoming aware of the presence and understanding the behavioral patterns of such a mechanism will allow the gradual healing of the wound existing behind it. This will grant access to the “spiritual compass” existing inborn in every human being (which can be more or less awaken), named in many traditions the Spiritual Heart, and thus to vigorous steps on the path of inner transformation under its wise guidance.

What you will get in the seminar

Theoretical elements

  • What kind of defense archetypes exist and why?
  • Tools to determine the predominant defense mechanism
  • A careful analysis of both disharmonious and harmonious manifestations of all defense mechanisms and of the possible mixed interactions between them
  • Elements of recognizing the influences of the defense mechanism in the thinking/feeling/acting processes and understanding the influence of the defense mechanism typology in the daily life interactions
  • How to consciously abandon the defense “armor” and be yourself – authentic, open and relaxed
  • How to help your beloved ones in moments of stress and peak experiences

Practical elements

  • Exercises in couples or small groups
  • Introspection exercises and meditations
  • Hatha Yoga
  • Acting out the ways of interaction in a classical stage play forming a practical understanding

Your benefits of participating

  • learn to improve the quality of both personal and professional life through understanding yourself and others
  • learn how to improve relationships through tailored stress and conflict management
  • learn how to improve communication (heart to heart) with- family
    – friends
    – lovers
    – work relations
  • learn how to reduce/eliminate health problems
  • learn to consciously eliminate the defense mechanisms

Concretely for filmmakers and actors

  • learn to build authentic and credible characters (interaction between [key] characters)
  • learn to create authentic storylines from the archetypical defense mechanisms and concepts
  • learn to displaying the correct energy dynamism in dialogs and interactions

For whom is this seminar intended?

Everyone whose life focuses on transformation and growth will love this seminar. For therapists the knowledge of the archetypes of defense mechanism which blocks the human soul can be helpful to guide patients on the path of healing and awakening their full potential. For artists – such as dancers, composers, writers, directors, producers, actors and filmmakers of all departments – their professions and inspirations also revolve around representing archetypal aspects. Elaborating which archetypes are prevalent in the characters of the stories gives an immense credibility to the story line and a great outcome for the audience.

Besides all these, the study of the archetypical defense mechanisms can set free a lot of inner energy blocked into such patterns and can help everyone who is into self-inquiry, personal development and improvement of their relationships.
