Which interconnection could be detected between modern woman and the Ancient Greek Goddesses?

The dramatherapist Vasso Papali believes that myths about the female element are the medium that helps
us comprehend the archetypes functioning in the fields of psychology and our personality. They might be distant during the time span but they encapsulate eternal values. Then as now, myths were created in order to inspire and remind us about the sanctity of existence. She uses myths, fairy-tales, novels and theatrical plays in her dramatherapy, in order to approach the real-life roles and conditions through the fictional
ones.

The beginning was made by the rigorous study of Medea, the Archetype of Mother. She was the Great Mother that had been worshiped for over thousand years by the pre-historic people. Medea’s archetype
has survived throughout the centuries and she lives inside every woman that suppresses her children in either rough or delicate ways. She will be always there without showing mercy, until women are going to be
treated with love, respect, tender, protection, freedom.

Hence, an idea is born in order to enhance all the free, conscious and inspiring elements in the role of mother. These mothers will wean descendants with free consciousness and generous temperament and these ideals can be detected inside the female archetypes of the Ancient Greek Goddesses, before the coming of the patriarchy.

6th Round MEDEA

Medea’s myth -as many other famous myths that were developed as personas of the Greek ancient tragedy (such as Clytemnestra’s and Kassandra’s myths)- was a symbolism of the transition from matriarchy to patriarchy.

Medea, the goddess that became a divine murderer, has remained the greatest symbol of both creation and destruction. She is an enigma of Greek mythology: after her destructive act, she was ascended by her grandfather’s chariot and she became immortal.

The study of her Myth is a teaching process around fundamental topics of the existence and it can be beneficial for men and women, as long as it stresses the NATURE of things.

The seminar is addressed to women of all ages.
