On today's podcast we go deep into working with the archetypes. How do we move from the Hero's Journey, more for the transition from boyhood/ girlhood to early manhood/ womanhood to the Sovereign's Journey, for the maturing adult?

What are the ways that we can work with the archetypes?

How do we bring our inner King and Queen online, also known as the Sovereign?

A really fascinating discussion with one of the UK's leading men's work coaches and facilitators.

Hugh P Newton has been working with men for more than twenty five years. He works as a coach, runs workshops for men and is involved in A Band of Brothers and the Mankind Project.

Hugh is also the author of the book The Sovereign's Journey.

Some of the topics and questions to cover:

1. I would love for you to share some of your journey. How did you get into the work you now do?
2. Could you please talk about the importance of men's work. Robert Bly in Iron John says that the young men need the support of older men. What is your experience of this? How do we as older men find the younger men to help?
3. Could you please explain what the Sovereign's Journey is? How does it differ from the Hero's Journey?
4. What are the archetypes? (P. 25)
5. What is the collective unconscious?
6. What is the role of the King or the Sovereign?
7. Could you please speak a little about why getting to know your shadows are so important? How does that help us (p. 26)
8. What are some of the practices to help us connect to each of the archetypes in their fullness?
9. Could you please share some of your boarding school experiences? How was boarding school in Rhodesia?
10. How do people learn more about your work or reach out?
