archetypes of survival
Make the unconscious conscious. Move from living in survival mode to using the power of these four archetypes to thrive.
A five-week interactive course starting June 30 2022
If you want to act with more confidence, make better decisions and create more fulfilling relationships, you must learn to love yourself. Loving yourself begins with knowing yourself.
This includes your shadow, the parts of you that you don’t want others to see. There is beauty in them, too. And there are gifts, the gifts of the Authentic Self. With it comes peace.
Who are you? Why are you here? Why do you make the choices that you make? What blocks you? And who is in charge of your life? Finally you can find some answers to these questions, take the reins of your life and gain more control over your choices. You can turn doubt and insecurities into self-confidence and live in alignment with your purpose, find peace and fulfill your life’s mission.
Each of us is assigned 12 archetypes (12 aspects of our personality) arranged in a distinct combination that makes us who we are. They form the uniqueness of our being and our personal expression.
We also share four archetypes that symbolize our major life challenges and show us the evolutionary lessons that we are here to learn. These four archetypes determine how we hold our value, how we maintain our self-esteem and what strategies we create to survive. Everything in our life revolves around these four archetypes. Together they represent the fears, vulnerabilities and internal conflicts that cause us to negotiate the power of our spirits within the physical world.
The Child cries, hides, or throws tantrums, saying “I cannot do anything right. I don’t know how to survive on my own. I want someone to take care of me. I am not strong enough.”
The Saboteur justifies, saying “I’ll show you evidence of why it won’t work and give you reasons why you shouldn’t do it.”
The Victim blames, saying “The world is dangerous. Everyone is out to get me. I am powerless. I’ve no choices. I’m at the effect of circumstances or at the mercy of others.”
The Prostitute negotiates, saying “I’ll compromise my values and sell my integrity in order to survive.”
When we learn to recognize the voices and the subtle urgings of these four archetypes, they can become our most treasured allies in preventing us from giving away our power. Think of them as aspects of yourself that influence how you relate to material power, how you respond to authority, how you make choices and how you support or undermine your self-esteem.
This is an opportunity to gain awareness of something very important about yourself and re-write the patterns so you can live a more authentic, wholesome life.
There are five classes in Archetypes of Survival: discover your evolution lessons workshop series, in which we will do deep shadow work and refine our intuitive abilities. This doesn't happen overnight, so we must “sit with”, process, and practice this material. Doing it together in a group speeds up the process as we learn from each other's sharing, questions, struggles and insights.
In this interactive zoom program you will:
Get to know your four survival archetypes in depth and find out how they can help you live in alignment with your purpose

Explore patterns of behavior that no longer serve you, then find out how to shift away from them
Find out the true purpose of these archetypes and learn to express their positive traits that serve your success and happiness
Understand how your experiences relate to your soul contract and what you can do to change things in a positive way
what people are saying
“I loved the course on Archetypes. During the short duration of the course, I gained simple but invaluable tools to better understand myself and the conflicts that arise within me. I also learned how personal qualities that I previously considered negative are part of a larger picture and can be transformed to align with my higher self. The knowledge that Gina shared is very empowering for me. I am excited to dive deeper with it and discover more!”
“I signed up for the Archetypes class last minute, not clear what I was signing up for. But I felt curious and attracted to what the facilitator and the class promised. I was not disappointed. These were three of the most interesting and fun Wednesday evenings I have had in a long time! Uncovering the various personalities that influence our lives seems so important for understanding ourselves and our actions. I have a much deeper insight into sides of myself that have been in the dark for a long time. One of the teacher’s strengths is revealing our archetypes with patience and neutrality that are reassuring and empowering. She even introduces our four survivor archetypes - child, saboteur, prostitute and victim - in a gentle and thoughtful way, affirming the utility of the presence of all our archetypes. I find myself more understanding and accepting of myself after this course, and ready to continue my journey of self-discovery and love.”
“The Archetypes workshop opened for me a whole new path to self-knowledge and discovery. It was exciting to meet the archetypes that live with me and with that, to remember who I am. On a very practical level, I can now identify their voices, start to recognize when they don’t serve me, call on the archetypes who can help me at a given moment. In short - a fun and insightful class with immediate impact. Look forward to taking Level 2.”
