Exploring the Female Archetype Through Photography


Exploring the Female Archetype Through Photography image

This immersive class blends photographic technique with ritual, guiding participants through the eight feminine archetypes and their expressions in light and shadow. Inspired by El Camino de las 8 Lunas (The Path of the 8 Moons), we explore how imagery, symbolism, and lunar cycles can support healing and self-inquiry.

Each week, the lighting studio becomes a red-tent-inspired sacred space for guided reflection, archetypal discussion, and hands-on portrait creation. Participants may bring a phone, their own camera, or borrow one during class. With the instructor's support and a small, intimate cohort, each person will craft a series of self-portraits that embody each archetype.

By the end of the course, you will leave with a cohesive body of work and a deeper connection to your intuitive, creative, and cyclical self.

This course is designed for photographers, artists, fems, and seekers at every level. No technical experience is required—just curiosity, openness, and a desire to explore your own inner world.
