Seminar Sessions on Dramatherapy on Woman by Dramatherapist Vasso Papali

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.

Isis was a goddess that was being worshiped in the ancient Mesopotamia, since 6.000 BC. She was the Queen that gave gifts and wealth to the human kind.

Isis is the most integral expression of the Great Mother in the ancient world. Her mythological Egyptian origin incarnates the birth of all things and the epicentre of the female power.
