Warrior, Magician, Lover, King: A Guide To The Male Archetypes Updated For The 21st Century

This exciting book offers an updated description of the male archetypes in a way that suits our times and our lifestyle. It is ideal for men and their partners who want to understand the nature of masculinity in our world today.

The shadow work tools and techniques for emotional healing explained in the book allow every man to embody the mature masculine and be all that he can in his world: a kind and mature father, a loving partner, a strong and compassionate man in every way. A man in his fullness. The kind of man the world needs today.

Comments from Amazon.co.uk reviews:

I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting. All those things I’d never understood about my feelings suddenly seemed clear. I had the misfortune to attend a school where physical punishment was commonplace, and it massively affected me and has impacted my life to this day. In archetypal languauge, my King archetype was completely crushed. (I found the description of men’s archetypes is fascinating – it explains a lot for me!) I’m now excited – finding this book could be the first step in finally getting over this! I understand exactly why my life has been the way it has, and now I plan to do some personal work on my emotional wounds. A wonderful book both for gaining insight and doing something constructive to make the future better than the past!

I’ve attended a weekend workshop with Rod and can see he has a deep understanding of the 4 archetypal energies and their link to shadow. I’ve bought this book to find out everything that he knows about shadow to aid me on my path to becoming a shadow work facilitator.

I am a men’s coach myself and I am very familiar with the model of the 4 archetypes. In Rod’s book his explanation of these energies, how they apply to the lives of men, and how to work with shadow is outstanding. Others have complicated this simple model. Yet Rod writes in a way that is easy to understand. Rod’s knowledge and advice is based on sound theoretical understanding and deep experiential work both on his own wounds and also in coaching hundreds of men over his career. I would recommend this book to all men.

I’m almost finished this book and I’ve really enjoyed it. The conversational, down-to-earth style makes it very accessible. It’s packed with useful nuggets and processes to support the theory of this map of the male psyche. I run a men’s circle and have recommended it to my group. Great book!

Introduction to Shadow Work: A Weekend Workshop
With Marianne Hill

We have one of these popular workshops coming up. The date of this weekend workshop is:

25th and 26th January 2025 (with Marianne Hill, Conroy Harris and Francisco Cabeza West)

Timings:

Saturday 10am – 6pm

Sunday 9.30am – 6pm

Venue: The Green Room, Frome, Somerset

Cost: £295

This highly experiential new workshop offers the opportunity to come and explore what shadow work is all about. You will experience stepping into and exploring different ‘parts’ of yourself, and getting to know and understand these parts more fully. You will explore the four archetypes – The Heart Centred Leader, The Action Taker, The Feeling Body and The Transformer – and experience how these live inside you. You will find yourself immersed in shadow work theory in an experiential way so that you come to understand how it applies to you and your life, and you will be able to take important steps towards healing childhood wounds and stepping more fully into your loving, lovable, confident and powerful adult self. These workshops have a maximum of seven participants. Marianne runs these workshops alongside two other qualified Healing The Shadow practitioners so the ratio of facilitators to participants is high and this allows for a high level of individual attention and personally tailored learning.

Please email Marianne to request a registration form, making clear which of the two dates you would like to attend. A deposit of £150 is required upon registration. Contact: mariannehillshadowwork@gmail.com

Please note: The fee for these workshops does not include food or accommodation.

Group Workshops For Men:

Finding the King Within You

Touching The Love Within You

I am taking a sabbatical from running group workshops, but I know many men are interested in learning how to truly embody their archetypal energy, especially that of their Inner King. I’m delighted to recommend three workshops which will show you how to easily and powerfully access the various archetypes within you. My colleague Ed Rooke and I developed the original group workshops on the Lover and King archetypes: Touching The Love Within You and Finding the King Within You. And I am delighted that Ed is continuing to present these original and valuable workshops. If you’re interested in embracing your Inner Lover and embodying your Inner King, I strongly recommend you to check out his website and, if you feel the call, sign up for one (or more!) of his workshops. He is also offering a workshop based around the Magician archetype, which he has named Awakening The Power Within You.
