Why do men love bitches and women love jerks?

Ever had the opportunity to see your dream-girl go out with a total jerk who doesn't respect her or care for her in the way you so willingly would if she only gave you the chance? Or what about that bitch who treats every guy she dates like a doormat and for some strange reason all the guys are after her whilst so many nice girls are just glanced over and ignored. This paradox of social dynamics is something we've all seen and experienced even though it may seem counterintuitive from a purely rational point of view. Perhaps you've also experienced this from the other side, the girl/guy that seems too eager to please immediately becomes less attractive, whereas that other person who practically ignores you except for some sporadic bursts of attention seems amazingly attractive. Are we doomed to play out these dynamics or is there a better way?

This workshop is about exploring the dynamics of attraction between men and women as it relates to the archetypes of the Nice Girl, the Nice Guy, the Bitch and the Jerk. We will use constellation work, role-playing and other experiential activities to gain insight into these issues first hand. Each of these archetypes embody certain qualities which can be both good and bad for our love lives. Which qualities do you keep in shadow? You may not like your inner-Jerk because he is insensitive and selfish, however he may also be assertive and bold. Or perhaps you have a hard time embracing your inner Nice Girl. She is so clingy and emotional, which is bound to scare guys away, but she is also authentically loving and sweet. So what can we learn from each of the archetypes and how can we best make use of the interplay between these different energies?

When? This coming Sunday, November 8th 2009 from 13:00 to 17:00!

In this workshop we will assist you with differentiating and integrating the positive aspects of the archetypes
in your life and relationships. We will use interactive group work, collective wisdom explorations and mini constellations to assist you individually. We will also help you find a way to overcome the challenges you face when you set out on the path of integrating the positive aspects of the archetypes.

The changes we focus on are:
- Changing your (unconscious) attraction to a certain archetype.
- Becoming conscious of the hidden agenda behind the (unconscious) attraction.
- Integrating higher self aspects of the Bastard or the Bitch if needed.
- Understanding the judgements (challenges) of the Nice Guy-Girl in you versus the Bastard-Bitch and how to overcome them.

During the workshop we will go through:
- An introduction of the four archetypes: Bitch, Bastard, Nice Guy, Nice Girl.
- A summary of the insights from the first workshop.
- A self reflection exercise.
- Interactive group explorations and mini constellations according to the groups needs.
