About the event

Harlequin (1918) – Pablo Picasso

The trickster is an unpredictable part of the mind that disrupts our most cherished intentions.


Just when we think we have got things under control, the trickster overturns them. When the trickster is active, the harder we try, the more we fail.


The good news is that these moments can also open the door to change and growth, and recognizing that opportunity is easier than it may seem. Awareness of our type can help us see the rainbow in counter-intentional results.


Have you had any trickster events? Carol is researching a book on Trickster Strategies for a Narcissistic Culture and would appreciate hearing about participants’ trickster experiences—good, bad, and ugly.


Feel free to email them to Carol (writestyles@gmail.com) or to share them during the workshop.
