Facing The Trickster Archetype – Chaos, Sabotage, and the Shadow Within

Facing The Trickster Archetype – Chaos, Sabotage, and the Shadow Within

I dive into the archetype of the Trickster—the part of us that thrives on chaos, sabotage, and disruption, yet also carries the medicine of transformation.

I explore how the Trickster shows up in mythology, film, and our daily lives, and why learning to embrace him can free us from stagnancy. You’ll discover how to build a relationship with this shadow energy and use it as a source of creativity, humor, and growth.
