Personal qualities are obvious in babies and children. One child may be placid and quiet; another may be active or curious.

In this opening module, Jean will help you understand how your personal archetype formed in your childhood.

Jean will explain how male medical experts once thought of babies as blank slates for parents and teachers to “write” on — molded like clay to conform to or become who they’re expected to be.

Meanwhile, mothers and nursemaids with numerous children knew that personality qualities were present from the beginning.

The truth is, from early childhood through adolescence and into adulthood, family and culture determine and judge what qualifies as “acceptable” traits, qualities, and behavior.

In this first module, you’ll discover:

• How the Goddesses in every woman reveal innate patterns of being and behaving, based on Greek Goddesses from classical mythology
• How the patterns you come into the world with can develop into powerful archetypes — and how these patterns can become suppressed
• The Virgin Goddesses — Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt and Moon, competitor and sister; Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Crafts, strategist and father’s daughter; Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth and Temple
• The Vulnerable Goddesses — Hera, Goddess of Marriage, archetype of the wife; Demeter, Goddess of Grain, archetype of the nurturing mother; Persephone, the abducted maiden, who became queen of the underworld
• The Alchemical Goddesses — Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, archetype of the creative woman and lover in ancient Greece, later denigrated as the whore

Humanity and the planet are in a time of crisis. From the beginning of the 20th century with the Great Depression, World War I and II, the United Nations, and nuclear weapons…

… into the 21st century with global warming, the pandemic, and weapons of mass destruction…

… will we evolve or devolve?

Jean will share how women’s life expectancy grew from just 35 years old at the beginning of the 20th century to, now, around 80 years.

Privileged women with long lives outlive husbands, are educated, travel — and many have gained respect and authority and hold high positions in government, business, academia, creativity, and science.

In this module, you’ll discover women who live long lives often embody traits of the Goddesses who were not valued on Mt. Olympus, such as:

• The Goddess of Transformative Wrath: her name is Outrage — or Sekhmet, ancient Egyptian lion-headed Goddess, or Kali Ma, Hindu Goddess
• The Goddess of Healing Laughter: her name is Mirth — or Baubo, bawdy Greek Goddess, or Uzume, Japanese Goddess of Mirth and Dance
• The Goddess of Compassion: her name is Kindness — or Kuan Yin, Virgin Mary, or Lady Liberty

The archetype of the wise woman or wise crone is a generic description for the inner development of soul qualities most associated with the third phase of women’s lives.

In this session, Jean will explain how sometimes children who were neglected or suffered abuse drew solace and wisdom from the wise woman/wise crone archetype.

As a result, these children didn’t identify with their oppressors — and did not ultimately become like the adults who neglected or abused them.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• How women’s wisdom was personified by the pre-Olympian Goddesses — and by archetypal wise women
• Why these pre-Olympian Goddesses were minimized in the patriarchy of Greek mythology — and persecuted in the Judeo-Christian scriptures and culture
• Stories from classical mythology, including how Metis, Goddess of Practical and Intellectual Wisdom, was swallowed by Zeus — who claimed he had her wisdom
• The many ways Sophia, Goddess of Mystical and Spiritual Wisdom, was hidden and impersonalized in the Bible
• The story of Hecate, Goddess of Intuitive and Psychic Wisdom, whose time is twilight at the fork in the road
• The Goddess without a persona, Hestia, Goddess of Meditative Wisdom and the Hearth and Temple, who exists in the fire at the center of a round hearth

Some mythological “male” divine qualities, inherent tendencies, and abilities can become well-developed in women — just as some “Goddess-given” qualities can be well-expressed in men.

Jean will introduce you to Hermes, the friendly Messenger God — the archetype within her that she lives out when speaking and writing, and that inspires her on her far-flung, interesting travels.

You’ll discover how Jung first saw the feminine aspect in men that he called the anima — and the masculine element in women that he called the animus.

In Jung’s time, people were expected to live out traditional masculine and feminine roles. His anima-animus theory about the contrasexual elements of people assumed that any masculine elements found in women (and feminine elements found in men) would always be less effective.

The women’s movement in the 1960s and 1970s led to more women in traditionally “male” professions and men taking on more “female” professions.

Jean will also explain how throughout her own journey, she found each God and Goddess felt familiar to her because she embodied elements of them.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• How we discovered the Goddesses in men and Gods in women as education and roles became gender inclusive
• Why there isn’t a specific communicator Goddess or archetype, nor is there a Goddess who meets people on journeys, travels from upper world to underworld, or guides souls
• The Father Archetypes and their realms — Zeus, God of the Sky and ruler of Olympus; Poseidon, God of the Sea, from the realm of emotion and instinct; Hades, God of the Underworld, from the realm of souls and the unconscious
• The Son Archetypes — Apollo, God of the Sun, archer, lawgiver; Hermes, Messenger God, guide of souls, trickster, traveler; Ares, God of War, dancer, lover; Hephaestus, God of the Forge, craftsman, inventor, loner; and Dionysus, mystic, lover, wanderer

Moving toward the metaphorical Millionth Circle is all about heart-centered activism.

Based on the premise that when a critical number of people change their perceptions and behavior, a new era can begin, it’s the tipping point into a post-patriarchal world…

Jean will share how her book, The Millionth Circle: How to Change Ourselves and The World, is a guide to women’s circles with a sacred center. She’ll explain how it inspired the formation of the Millionth Circle Initiative, which refers to the circle whose (metaphoric) formation tips the scales and shifts planetary consciousness. The Millionth Circle is a group of women who, since 2001, have volunteered their time to hold this vision through their participation in monthly virtual circles and annual in-person circles where a deepening of the circle experience occurs.

Jean will share her perspective that in every structure or group of people, you’re either in a circle or a hierarchy.

Even when there’s just a group of two, when there’s an unspoken assumption that you’ll defer or be subordinate, accepting the other’s judgment or choices in place of your own — you’re living in a patriarchy of two.

She’ll also explain how you can always effect transformation from wherever you are in the hierarchy or circle — this is your share of the patriarchy, and it can change as soon as you do.

Jean will walk you through these principles of the Millionth Circle:

• Create a circle of equals with an invisible spiritual center
• Speak and listen from your heart
• Listen with discernment instead of judgment
• Speak from your own experience
• Hold in confidence what is shared in confidence
• Use silence for reflection, meditation, and prayer

At some point after age 50, every woman crosses a threshold into the third phase of her life.

Jean will explain how the mid-life transition into your third act is the liminal phase between “what was” and “what next” — which also coincides for many with the global pandemic and global warming…

You’ll discover how humanity is living through the end of the patriarchal age of Pisces and beginning the egalitarian age of Aquarius.

As you enter this uncharted territory, you can choose to mourn what’s gone before, or embrace these juicy crone years.

She’ll share the powerful new energies that come into the psyche at this momentous time — and the profound and exciting reasons for welcoming the other side of 50.

In Act III of your life, you might find yourself surviving a life-threatening illness, transitioning into menopause, and becoming who you were meant to be.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Ways to find meaning and purpose in your third act
• How to cultivate more creativity and love in these wisdom years of life
• Ways to reframe life-threatening illness and other obstacles as soul journeys
• What the third act looks like for humanity and the planet — amid global warming, the global pandemic, violence, prejudice, war, and more

In this final module, Jean will share how after-death communications can come to you in many forms.

You may experience these exchanges through a dream, as an intuitively felt or sensed presence, or upon hearing a voice and seeing a vision — while you’re awake, or through a medium.

Many believe that after-death communications are actually quite common — especially with the sudden, unexpected deaths of the pandemic.

We live many lifetimes. As we observe children, adolescents, and adults, some seem to be “old souls,” while others seem to be “young souls.”

Jean will prompt you to consider the essential question: If we have lived more than this one life — what did we come to do, to learn, and love this time around?

Jean will also share how the phases of the moon connect to the personal stages of your life as a woman, including:

• The Waxing Moon phase that begins with menarche, when the child becomes the Maiden
• The Full Moon phase, starting with pregnancy and motherhood or an equivalent commitment of becoming a mature woman
• The Waning Moon phase, which begins with menopause and exemplifies the Crone or the Wise Woman
• The Dark of the Moon, including death as transition to “the other side”
