7 Myths of the Soul

We embark on a journey to the depths of the soul, passing through the mystical doors of philosophy. Damascius, the last head of the Platonic Academy in Athens, left profound works on the evolution of the soul. Following his legacy, we explore the layers of the soul through encounters with seven major mythological figures. Each archetype serves as a guide on the soul’s transformative journey.

1. Encounter: Opening
2. Encounter: The journey of individuation and inner independence, Persephone.
3. Encounter: Facing our inner creative force and wild nature, Dionysus.
4. Encounter: Confronting what does not represent me and questioning our limits, Prometheus.
5. Encounter: Ascending to the divine within us through our most human qualities and virtues, Hercules.
6. Encounter: Discovering the woman within, finding ourselves on the path of wisdom and strength, Athena.
7. Encounter: Balancing love and intellect, harmonizing light and shadow, Apollo.
8. Encounter: Embracing the cycles of existence, the transition from mothering to nurturing with Hecate’s guidance, acceptance, and transformation, Demeter.
9. Closing
