THE ARCHETYPE OF YOUTH “Sex and drugs and rock and roll is all my brain and body need ” Ian Dury (1977)
Shakespeare’s ‘third age’ of man saw the youth as ‘the lover, sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad made to his mistress' eyebrow.’ Today, in our ‘mid life crises’ we sometimes try to re-connect with or re-create our adolescence. But what is the pull of the youth? Are today’s youth in crisis … or are they just being young? How do we work with our own and others’ adolescence? The workshop will explore key themes and perspectives and will involve inner work and reflection. Mark Price is a UKCP registered transpersonal psychotherapist, working with both adults and young people. He was originally trained as a playworker, teacher and youth worker and has extensive experience with vulnerable young people in a range of settings. As well as being in private practice, he is currently a Principal Lecturer at the University of Brighton, leading on working with young people. Mark is also a director of the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology. SPONTANEOUS DRAWING AND DREAMS
Pam Allsop. After many years in personnel and the oil industry, Pam moved into the area of management development. She trained in Transpersonal Psychology and became UKCP registered. She is now an artist whose particular interest is in dreamwork, drawing and colour and in helping people connect to their creativity. As a therapist, she also does deep memory process work. WHAT IS YOUR STORY?
What is the family mythology about you? Did different people have different versions of your story? And how were they given back to you? – really, or symbolically? Angrily – destructively – vengefully – humorously – kindly – admiringly? What was your place at the table? What stories did you give yourself? Do you – did you ever – address yourself in the third person? How mixed or influenced is your story by the stories of others? The aim of the day is to find and focus on your voice. Come and explore and share your stories through your own voice, understanding and accepting that your story may well have been given you, and needn’t be accepted unless it fits the real you.
