Combine the wisdom of the medicine wheel with the insight of personality archetypes in this small-group, online workshop with Spiritual Advisor and Archetype Analyst Stacey Couch. The medicine wheel is a global map of the cycles of nature. It guides us through important challenges and grounds us in the fabric of the natural world. In this workshop with only five students, Stacey shares the qualities, stories, and associations with the cardinal directions that are universal to working with the medicine wheel. She guides students through the landscape of personality archetypes, helping you identify which are yours.
The medicine wheel is a brilliant tool for connecting to guidance on a specific challenge in your life. In this Medicine Wheel Workshop, you receive assistance with wording a question or intention around this challenge. Then, with Stacey’s assistance, you consider which archetypes are involved and come up with a list to cast into the medicine wheel. Seven archetypes are drawn and cast into the wheel and we work together to interpret the symbolism, meaning, guidance that comes.

Workshop Topics
Discussion topics for the workshop are listed below. Topics and the order of topics are subject to change based on the flow of discussion and energy of the group:
Session 1 – Intention & The Archetypes
We define an intention for the medicine wheel casting and consider a pool of archetypes that relate to this intention. This workshop includes a PDF list of archetypes as well as a PDF of basic archetype cards for you to print and cut out yourself if you’d like. Once the intention and a group of archetypes is selected, Stacey guides you through how to cast seven archetypes in the medicine wheel.
Session 2 – East & South
The reading begins with a look at the archetypes that landed in the east and south positions. We look at how you are entering into and engaging with this situation in your life and how the archetypes involved are assisting and blocking the process. This is about your personal experience of this life challenge and how you are acting to become more authentic.
Session 3 – West & North
Here we move into the larger questions of how you are connected to service to others and your life purpose. This portion of the medicine wheel has to do with discernment, mystery, and your spiritual life. The archetypes here give insights into how you can evolve in this situation to connect deeper with your purpose.
Session 4 – Above & Below
The directions of above and below are related to the soul and the spirit. The archetype in the below position speaks to your subconscious, your roots, and the circumstances that have lead you to this moment. Hidden aspects are revealed. The archetype in the above position points to your aspirations, your higher self, and where liberation is possible.
Session 5 – Center
At the center we look at the heart of the matter and how the archetype that lands here shows where the main help and obstacles are in regards to your own nature and also the world around you. The archetype in this position gives insight into what is most important to you and to this situation.
Session 6 – Closing
We revisit your original intentions for the wheel and put together a synopsis of the insights of your medicine wheel. Here we take the time to tie up any loose ends and remaining questions. Then we discuss how to apply the wisdom of the medicine wheel in next steps moving forward. Ideas for how to work with the medicine wheel in sacred ceremony are suggested.

Stacey facilitates this workshop from a place of non-judgment. Participants are asked to share feedback with her and their fellow students in a kind and respectful way. Authenticity is celebrated along with diversity. The freedom to explore allows for creativity and fun along the way. This workshop guided by Stacey provides a community for you and other seekers involved in deep transformation. Here you have an opportunity to talk, think, listen and feel through what you are experiencing. Stacey has over 15 years of experience leading groups in spiritual discussion.
Talking with others about your interior life can be scary, especially when your experiences are different than those of the people around you. That’s the value of the being in a workshop with Stacey Couch. She provides a safe place to reveal conversations with your soul. Stacey holds a sacred space for you to share, for different ideas to arise, and for kinship and compassion beyond tolerance to grow. Her work is that of guiding you to the knowing that resides in your divinity.
In this workshop, we share our questions and consider possibilities. There is no doctrine, no right answer, and no one person smarter or wiser than the other. We all bring our own life experience and wisdom. In this space it is okay to not have the answers. In fact, that is the gentlest position. Rather than try to answer all of each other’s questions, we explore ideas and sit in wonder, wondering what is and sharing the little glimpses we each have the privilege to know.
Attendance is Required
Please check your calendars carefully and be sure that you are available to attend each session. Since this workshop is for a small amount of people, your attendance is REQUIRED once you register.
Your participation is key to make this work.
In this digital era people tend to be more casual about online activities. That works really well for the mass presentations with one teacher speaking to hundreds of students online, but for small, intimate discussion groups like we are forming, live attendance is necessary to make this work.
Your fellow seekers need your voice and questions to enrich the experience. Out of respect for your fellow seekers, please don’t fail to show and take up the spot of someone who would have been able to attend and benefit from the discussion.
Please be sure to check your calendars and make sure that the times and dates work for you in your time zone. And be sure to reserve the time in your schedule. The fee for this small group workshop must be paid in advance and is non-refundable.
After each workshop, you receive an audio recording of the meeting to download via Dropbox. Recordings are available within 24-hours after each session. These recordings are available for download for 6 months following the workshop. If all students consent to video recording, video recordings will also be made available. Please note, that you need to attend a live session and meet your fellow students before you receive the link to the recordings.
One week prior to the event, you will receive an email with details on how to attend the event via your computer, mobile device or phone. It is preferred that you attend the event via video conference, but you can also call in by phone.
