A workshop to dive into the magic of Metaphor.
As a creative force metaphor is second to none. It lights our way in the darkness, can be a compass for our path and the key to new possibilities.
Using the language of the unconscious - image and symbol - metaphor combine these two in a way that strengthens and arights us to find our way in the world.
A powerful tool in many healing modalities including hypnotherapy and art, finding the right metaphor can take skill. This workshop will give you both practise and ways to play with metaphor so that you can deliver heartfelt and connective metaphors to yourself and clients.
This workshop will be an interactive exploration with exercises, journal prompts and discussions playing with the power of metaphor in ways that will strengthen your innate ability to create metaphor for your life and your work.

Who are you?
I am Jane Cunningham a recovering Nurse from Whangarei. I have a lifelong love of story and work with the unconscious in many realms in person and online. My work always includes the power of creativity and am currently working with Soulmap Journaling a process i have developed over the last 5 years. I also work with shadow and reframing. I have studied with Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Jungian Analyst, Cantadora, Curandera and Author of Women Who Run With The Wolves.
I am currently training to be a hypnotherapist and am thrilled about the power of metaphor as a way of opening doors for hypnotherapy clients. (bonus points for noticing the metaphor!)
Almost all my work uses metaphor. The metaphor tells the deep truth about something while not talking directly about the thing at all! In this way it is playful and full of the trickster. It can open us up and close us down, shift our perceptions and make things possible.
Metaphors lead us on into a deeper knowing without having to use our logic to get there.
When we are tending to the unconscious for ourselves or others we are wise to use tools the unconscious understands and i believe metaphor speaks directly to the unconscious.
I would love to share my insights and joy around the power of metaphor and simile with you in this online group workshop/playshop.
