Thursday, October 28 at 6:00 pm in the Marc Jacobs Reading Room
Come join us in the Library’s Marc Jacobs Reading Room for an intimate evening with Carey Davidson, author of The Five Archetypes, as she takes us on a journey of self-discovery and relationship expansion. We’ll learn what our five personality archetypes say about the patterns that get us stuck in disharmony and our specific paths to a lifetime of successful relationships.
In ancient Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy, the elements Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are the foundation of how nature grows and evolves. They are believed to help us understand everything from illness and healing to the fundamental processes of child development—and they continue to inform Chinese medicine practice today. But as Ayurvedic nutritionist, reiki master, and Tournesol founder Carey Davidson demonstrates in her book, The Five Archetypes, each of the five elements can also be seen as a personality archetype—and inside all of us is a unique blend of these archetypes that serves as a window into living a more fulfilling life on every level.
Carey Davidson is an expert in human relations. She led Human Resources at Columbia University and was the Executive Director of CARING at Columbia, a component of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, which provides culturally sensitive prevention and intervention programs using art and music for at-risk children in New York City.
As the Founder and CEO of Tournesol Wellness in New York City, Carey began to design programs that combined groundbreaking science with ancient teachings to empower people and organizations with skills that maximize relationships by leveraging their unique interactive styles.
