Includes: What Story Are You Living Now? questionnaire
The most important journey is self-discovery. To truly know yourself, spend time asking: What Story Are You Living Now? In this session, we guide you through this question with a personal, playful approach.
Renowned storyteller Peter de Kuster helps you uncover the archetypes shaping your life. These universal patterns may be invisible now, but this masterclass reveals how they drive your behaviors and relationships. Become conscious of your archetypal potential to cultivate the hero or heroine within—living your stories intentionally, in your unique way. Gain a roadmap for deeper self-understanding, reshaping life narratives, awakening authenticity, and finding meaning, direction, and purpose.
This masterclass—and free access to the What Story Are You Living Now? questionnaire—shows how to live archetypal stories consciously and powerfully. It builds narrative intelligence: recognizing story patterns in yourself and the world as a core life skill.
Peter de Kuster, internationally acclaimed storyteller and author, shares actionable ideas, theories, and data. You’ll receive two rich archetype sets to spot patterns in inner/outer life, plus inspiring examples of real transformations.
This experience calls you to authenticity and potential greatness—ideal for creative writing/game-making classes, coaches/counselors/consultants, teams seeking cohesion. In a depth-starved world, archetypal stories become portals to meaning as you live moral, productive lives. What Story Are You Living Now? fuels authentic living through evocative images, characters, and narratives for your best life story.
Midnight in Paris Perfectly Illustrates This
Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris (2011) captures the masterclass essence: Gil Pender, a nostalgic screenwriter, time-travels to 1920s Paris, meeting Hemingway, Stein, Picasso. He chases a “golden age” past, evading his unsatisfying present—until realizing every era romanticizes another. This archetypal journey forces self-confrontation: Gil sheds illusions, embraces his writer’s story in the now, and chooses authenticity over escapism. Like Gil, you’ll identify your active archetypes (Dreamer, Everyman, Creator) and rewrite your life narrative consciously.
