Have you experienced moments when you have a task ahead and your energy is not fitting it at all? Maybe you need to focus on a spreadsheet at a moment when you are feeling very creative and imaginative, or vice-versa.
Being able to recognise what kind of setting is needed, and which one is present is the first challenge. Which part of you is usually sitting in the driver’s seat, making those choices?
WORKING THROUGH ARCHETYPES
OPEN SESSION
TBA
In the open session, you will:
- explore the concept of archetypes and how they relate to some parts of you;
- experience how they can be mobilised, both individually and as a group;
- learn warm-up exercises that you can use to connect with each archetype by yourself or with your team in your day-to-day work.
(this session is open for everyone, registration is mandatory)
SESSÃO ABERTA
TBA
C.G. Jung defined archetypes as patterns of instinctual behaviour. Even if we have some that are more dominant in our personality, Jung suggested that they are carried through generations in the collective unconscious. The number of archetypes is not fixed or static, but Jung referred to 12 archetypal figures: Ruler, Creator, Sage, Innocent, Explorer, Rebel, Hero, Wizard, Jester, Every person, Lover, and Caregiver.
By using these figures as a reference model, you will explore:
- which qualities of the archetypes feel familiar, and which are more difficult to connect with;
- in which work circumstances these archetypes usually appear in you, and when they would be beneficial;
- embodied practices that allow you to connect with these archetypal energies when you need them.
Each archetype brings a different filter to how we perceive ourselves and the world. By tapping into them, we experience alternative ways of being, collaborating, relating, thinking and acting, which may be more useful than our default responses.
journeys
The journeys are designed to combine knowledge from psychology, dance and movement pedagogy, experience design, neuroscience and game design, aiming to promote collective transformation, starting from individual awareness.

Testimonial – Andreas
Ana Bernardes
A degree in psychology was only the first step into the topic of development and transformation. Ana’s path made her a believer in the power of play and relation in order to create purposeful life and live in balance. She believes that change can only have impact if we also act on changing the workplaces and how we relate to work.
Body awareness and movement as key elements of exploration that allow the unconscious wisdom to be expressed and reflected on, is the core of her work.
Ana has a degree in Psychology is trained in Holistic Dance, Social Presencing Theater and Embodiment coaching, which she combines with the experience of working in Business Consulting, Corporate Training, Experience and Game Design.
FAQs ABOUT EMBODIMENT
what is embodiment?
Embodiment relates to the intertwined existence of body and mind, where both of them influence each other and are able to create change.
Working with embodiment refers us to the body, especially to its somatic experience, which is the experience of the living body.
embodiment and archetypes
The methods we use are based on a 4E cognition approach: embodied, embedded, enacted and extended).
We connect to the expression of archetypes through embodiment practices, inviting one’s personal direct experience of the concepts.
embodiment and work
The changes in the world and in business demand people to be more self-aware and present. Being whole and authentic at the workplace can only be achieved by developing not only outwardly but also inwardly.
Raising consciousness implies deep inner work that includes body, mind and spirit.
