Bully, Target, and Witness-Hero Archetypes

Hero Archetype

Fall 2017 Transforming the Bullying Cycle Through The Expressive Arts Workshop based on the bully, target, and witness-hero archetypes

Living inside the skin, the heart, and the breath

of a tormented bully,

is a target with vacant eyes

betrayed by lips weighed down

from rejection.  

And living inside the soul of a target

is a dove 

who knows and is a witness to suffering.

And within this suffering is a hero

with the strength

of eagle wings.
