About Course

Are you interested in Greek mythology, the collective unconscious, and the mysteries of the divine feminine?
Mythopoetic is honored to invite women to this inner journey through the lost archetypes of the divine feminine. Before Christianization, the European imagination was filled with mighty, magical and mysterious female figures: the mighty goddesses of Olympus, the graceful nymphs, the fierce furies and the protective matrones. Throughout the medieval period, these figures slowly withdrew from our inner worlds, and the feminine was conceptualized as something docile and passive.
Nowadays, we have little room for the presence of the divine feminine. We live in a world where we’re trained to push ourselves, to live oriented towards the external world and place our worth as women in our material achievements.
This group aims to restore the lost power of the divine feminine, to re-open our souls to the presence of the goddesses, nymphs and heroines of the pasts, who stand waiting in the shadows of our collective unconscious. We will travel through the mythological past, and meet the mighty goddesses of ancient Greece, and through them reacquaint ourselves with our lost divine powers.
This group will function both as a support-network for women who want to explore their feminine powers and educate participants in classical Greek mythology. Through conversation, ritual and embodiment practices, we will explore different ways of connecting to the feminine archetypes explored in the course.
The class is divided into segments dedicated to specific goddesses, where we will explore the mysteries of the figures in question. Each session will also open with a ritual dedicated to the goddess we are working on, where will invoke her presence into the group. Participants will also receive homework between the sessions. Additionally, participants will perform a practice between the classes that allows them to connect to the energy of the figure in question.
Participants in this course will receive a thorough education in Greek myths, learn about archetypes and how to connect with them, explore ritual practice, and connect to network of likeminded women.

Course Content

Hera, queen of the gods, protector of women, goddess of marriage
This class is the first of three centred around the three main goddesses of the Greek pantheon, namely Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. During this first part, we will explore the character of the protector of women and queen of the gods, the goddess Hera. Often misunderstood and portrayed as a wrathful goddess in our modern view, Hera was nonetheless one of the most revered deities in Ancient Greece. Beyond the appearances, we will try to get to know the goddess in depth, study her attributes and realm of power, as well as connect with the Hera archetype which exists within us.

Athena, goddess of wisdom, strategy and crafts 
On this second class about the main goddesses of the Greek pantheon, we will study the goddess of wisdom, strategy and crafts: Athena with gleaming eyes. Far from representing the instinctual aspect of womanhood, Athena stands for reason and the capacity to think clearly amidst chaos. Civilisational goddess, her gift to humanity is that of engineering and organisation. In this class, we will explore the part Athena might play in our own personalities and how we might relate to her aspect of femininity, whether as a society or personally.

Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty and fertility
This class focuses on the goddess of love, beauty and fertility. From her origins to her cult and attributes, we will explore the depth of Aphrodite's immense power over both gods and mortals. After studying the goddess herself, we will explore her attached archetype and discuss the extend of her presence within ourselves.

The three minor goddesses: Artemis, Demeter and Hestia
This class explores the character of the three last goddesses composing the Greek pantheon : Artemis, goddess of the wilderness, of the Moon and of the hunt, a wild goddess surrounded by a retinue of chaste young women, Demeter, goddess of fertility, agriculture and motherhood, a central figure of the mysteries of Eleusis, Hestia, goddess of the hearth, highly revered by every household during the Antiquity.
