Honor the sibling archetype throughout your own story

Brothers and sisters are potentially our only lifelong companions – they may witness our entry into and our exit from the world. Siblings are companions who share similar origins, our familial ethos and ancestry, and with whom we experience the polarity of feeling and the complexity of relationship. They are the ‘others’ that populate our earliest environs and impress upon us our earliest attitudes, values and beliefs. 

Through this course we will amplify the archetype of the sibling through myth, fairy tales, depth psychology and personal experience.

How does the sibling relationship – or lack of it – impact our life?

While stories of brothers and sisters frequent ancient myths and modern fiction, psychology’s focus on the social and psychic imprints of the parents have overshadowed the sibling relationship. The attachment between brothers and sisters is deeply impactful and psychologically revealing. The sibling, like mother and father, is also an archetypal figure. This archetypal and literal image mirrors a primary pattern for how we forge relationships with our friends, colleagues, and intimate others.

Often the sibling bond lays a template for equal relationships, unlike the father and mother relationship where there is a hierarchical orientation. Our sibling constellations are full of paradoxes: they may be ally and enemy or confidante and betrayer. We want to be identical to them; we want to be completely different.

As we move through our course we have the opportunity to reflect not only on our siblings or lack of them, but the fabric and patterns of all equal and adult relationships. When we explore larger mythic stories, we see the nature of our own sibling story mirrored back. In considering the imprints that this archetype impresses upon the soul we experience a greater capacity for understanding and accepting the diversity of human relationships.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Examine the sibling relationship throughout the life cycle, and embrace pathways to healing and accepting our sibling stories.
  • Understand the deeper dimensions of this primary relationship & how it impacts your adult relationships and social roles.
  • Reflect on your sibling relationships (or lack of them) and the sibling archetype.
  • Become familiar with myths and personal histories that are connected to the sibling relationship.
