Myths, for C. G. Jung, were a leading force directing one’s life. Based on Jung’s studies, and the instructor's personal background as an Amazonian woman, we will explore an archetypal story from the Kaxinawá people as a contribution to our collective archive of myths. Beginning with an exploration of the basic emotions and symbols of the archetypal feminine that underlie the story, we will work towards opening analytical psychology to an indigenous worldview The Archetypal Feminine in Kaxinawá's Stories: A Decolonizing Option to the Jungian Approach Hannah holds a Ph.D. degree in Psychology with concentration in Jungian Studies from Saybrook University, and an M.A. in Counseling from Eastern Mennonite University.

Hannah has international experience working with populations in situations of social vulnerability and developed a method to work with Latino populations called C.A.S.A.
