Living from our unique selves is like finding blue beach glass. Everyone has the potential to find blue beach glass…It’s accessible to us all. (Finding Blue Beach Glass: A Book About Personal Transformation)

Archetypes can be compared to a seed. There is already a pattern encoded at an individual level that knows it will eventually turn into a tomato plant or petunia. How archetypes manifest at an individual level varies from person to person. Evidence of an archetype acting in our lives can be traced back throughout our lifespan. Its footprints are there if we look for them as it is activated in situations, life roles, and relationships. When our archetype is active in our lives, we feel more alive, grounded, centered, and empowered.

In this workshop, you will explore 12 of the most common vocational archetypes; discover 1-3 vocational archetypes that are dominate in your life; and develop practices/strategies for appreciating how they may manifest more specifically in your life.

↗ Changes to the Child Care Subsidy mean more families qualify and child care centres receive a higher rate, and these improvements are welcome.

→ In June 2009, food rates increased by 10% (a total budget increase of about $600,000), and shelter rates increased by 5% (a budget increase of about $940,000). These were important increases. However, these rates still do not allow recipients to meet their needs for adequate food and shelter, amid rising costs. In neighbouring Nova Scotia, a recent food costing study showed a 26.5% increase in costs from 2002 to 2010 for a basic nutritious food basket for a family of four, including a 7.7% increase from 2008 to 2010. According to the 2010 national Hunger Count, more than 35% of food bank users on PEI were social assistance recipients. Not enough is still not enough.

→ The Advisory Council was pleased to see that the Social Assistance Act review resulted in 8 recommendations, including increasing income assistance, helping bridge the transition to work, supporting children for a better future, and providing more assistance to seniors, especially seniors with a disability. The Council still calls on government to act to protect the privacy, rights, and dignity of social assistance recipients under investigation or whose claims are under appeal.

↗ The initiative to use direct deposit for social assistance benefits is a good step to reduce stigma.

Increased allotment of funds for direct payment to social services recipients to bring them up to a standard of living in which all basic needs are met: C
