Embodied Archetypes Workshops, retreats & coaching that explore and embody the archetypes as potent tools for healing and growth with Dr Lewis Barfoot. Est. 2012

Learn how to use the archetypes to support you in all aspects of you life: Be that to help you honour your boundaries, take care of your needs, accept all aspects of your self and body, achieve your goals, fall in love with life itself, speak your truth, say NO and mean it and let go of old habits that no longer serve. Learn how the shadow pole of each archetype manifests in you and how to befriend and integrate it so you can stop playing the victim, stop sabotaging your life and reclaim your true power and purpose.

“Lewis holds the most powerful, authentic space I’ve ever been in. I felt safe, encouraged, honoured, free and open. Deepest gratitude for your authentic embodied being and for sharing your gifts so powerfully, clearly and humbly in a way, which by its very nature lifts us all” Deirdre Ryan

“My current self, past self and future self are very grateful” - Fran

“I just wanted to say, your work matters, makes a difference and has a ripple effect across lives” Workshop participant

Drawing on 15 years of experience in creating, directing and performing transformative theatre and music I support clients in gaining self confidence in speaking their truth on and off stage. In some sessions I draw upon my expertise as a medical Doctor to facilitate a shift in the way clients hold beliefs about their body and wellbeing. We can work on releasing blocked emotions; rage and shame being the most commonly explored. In some sessions we focus purely on archetypal work and how that can engage an empowering shift in consciousness. Often we will work with shadows, integrating them into wholeness and harmony and redeploying them to be of service to our highest selves. It is my intention to empower you to take care of your own wellbeing. Each session will be tailor made to meet your needs. https://www.embodiedarchetypes.com/

A beautiful offering if you are in Cork

Dear friends,
I wanted to drop you a line and let you know about our news and to offer you an invitation.
Firstly though, let me apologise for how long it has taken me to get around to this last part of The Bábóg Project. My life here was turned upside down for a few years and it has taken me until now to be in a position to move forward and disseminate this incredible body of work.

So to our news....
As you may remember The Bábóg Project has always been about process: the making of the dolls, the time and heart that took and the stories and community that emerged from it. So, for a long time we made the dolls with no firm plan for them once the project was completed. We had a few ideas, like making them into a touring exhibition or finding a permanent home for them all together, but these ideas were practically and logistically impossible. Then we realised that, as each doll came to the project made by individual hands, so too would they leave into individual hands. Just as we all took part in their making, so too will we all take part in giving them a home.

From early June onwards I would like to invite you to participate in this part of the process. You could take one doll and keep it in a special place, or you could take 10 and give them to friends and family, or perhaps you would like to take 100 and put them in a frame and arrange for them to be displayed in your local area, or perhaps you would like to take more and create an exhibition of them...whatever feels right to you.
There is no charge for the dolls (and of course that should stay that way), from the beginning of June you will be able to request dolls through our website and I can post these to you for cost.
Please see this page for more details The Bábóg Project - Giving the Dolls a Home (link in comments)

The other option is to collect the dolls in person and this ties in with our second piece of news... a beautiful event that we are planning for the 31st of May.
We are going to hold a single, one day event where you can come along and help us lay out all 12,000 dolls at a beautiful venue in Cork City. This is a free event and will be the only opportunity to see all of the dolls laid out together for the last time. You will also have the chance to meet people who worked on or were touched by The Bábóg Project. At the end of this event we will begin dispersing the dolls and you will be able to take some dolls away with you then.
For more details on Laying Out please see this page Laying Out - The Bábóg Project (link in comments)

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement in the project up until now and ask you whole heartedly to help bring this project to it's completion.

If you have any questions at all or need further information please do get in touch by emailing thebabogproject@gmail.com

I look forward to seeing you on the 31st of May in Cork City if at all possible,

Embodied Archetypes

Coaching and Workshops facilitated by Dr Lewis Barfoot

Embodied Archetype Workshops (EAW) are a series of workshops that use the power of myths and archetypes as a vehicle for full expression of the human experience. Sacred and safe explorations in body, voice and spirit in celebration of the Divine Feminine experience. Currently taking place in London and Cork. My intention is to open up this work to men to facilitate them on archetypal journeys with the Divine Masculine very soon. Bear with me brothers, as I birth this work for us.

The work so far - I help women speak their truth without apology. Especially without apology or deference to the masculine. After centuries of patriarchal suppression there is a legacy of silencing that pervades the female psyche of many women still, woven into the trabeculae of the feminine skeleton. A covert silencer. I support women to stand in their truth, TRUST their intuition and share all of themselves with the world. It is my role to support women to realign this framing. To liberate the legacy so many of us carry. To enable women to rise up: rise up into the fullness of their being, into the magnificence of their spirit and into the unbounded depth of their wisdom and intuition. To stand and speak our simple truth. As we rise together, shoulder upon shoulder, we give permission to ourselves and other women to rise, to take up the space we deserve, to breathe in the abundance and wisdom that is our birthright. As we stand in our truth we may confidently and unapologetically shine our radiance onto the masculine.

I continue to offer creative coaching to individuals, actors in training and people in business and am available as a director for innovative, relevant and juicy theatre and performance.
