About this masterclass
Identity, and what the hurts and fulfilments reveal
In level 2 of Metaphors of Movement, you will have been introduced to the distinct taxonomical groups, “The Hurts” and “The Fulfilments”, and hopefully, will have understood that these metaphor groups are primarily about relationship-to-other and personal identity.
In this masterclass, we aim to develop these themes much further, delve deeper into the concept of identity, and learn what can be ascertained through the hurts/fulfilment metaphor analysis.
We will examine just why in-depth analysis of these metaphor themes tends to lead a person into the more mystical realms of experience and how such metaphors can be utilised for spiritual as well as personal development.
Additionally, we will examine and practice some of the “emanations” (the opposite of Hurts) — the expression of positive and beneficial experiences through the hurts-bias filter — as taught and practised in various spiritual traditions for millennia.
Please note: Due to the interactive nature of this training, I am unable to provide a specific session-by-session outline for this workshop. Each session is tailored to the group present.
