The definition of an Archetype is a very typical example of a certain person or thing; a recurrent symbol or motif in literature, art, or mythology.

Often recognition of an archetype helps us quickly establish how to relate to the person or symbol.

Archetypes in health are a reduction of complexity. they make a person less real, less complex often reducing them to a specific roll. These rolls manifest in our health as stratum congestion. One of the most profound lightbulb moments I've had in my career was the realization that the "fluff with tone" texture in TKM was a restoration of homeostasis that gives people the opportunity to explore themselves uniquely and not be possessed by an archetype of illness

I can't wait to explore these ideas more in class August 2nd and 3rd with those of you who can make it in person or online!
