Psychological Journeys: Archetypes and Their Manifestations

Archetypes are powerful symbols and patterns of behaviour that have been part of the human experience for centuries. First introduced into modern psychology by Carl Jung, archetypes represent universal themes embedded in our collective unconscious—appearing in myths, stories, dreams, and even our day-to-day choices.

In today’s fast-paced world, reconnecting with these timeless inner figures can offer valuable insights into our personal development, emotional challenges, and creative processes. From the Hero and the Mentor to the Shadow and the Trickster, these symbolic characters are not just found in ancient myths or epic films—they live within us and influence how we understand ourselves and navigate life’s challenges.

In our upcoming Psychological Journeys session, Dr. Barbara Renzi, Lecturer, will host Dr. Niloufar Aminpour, Head of English Department, Academic Initiatives Coordinator, for a discussion on “Archetypes and Their Manifestations.” The session will take place on 28 April 2025 at 4 PM CET and will be hosted at the Holographic Threate, Alte Post Berlin campus.

What you’ll gain:

• A foundational understanding of Jungian archetypes and their role in psychology
• Insights into how these inner symbols shape thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
• Practical ways to identify archetypes in yourself and the world around you
• Reflections on how archetypal awareness can guide personal and academic growth

Join us for this illuminating session where we will uncover the origins, meanings, and contemporary relevance of archetypes. Step into your own psychological journey—and discover the archetypes that guide your path.
