Illuminating the Shadow

"Illuminating the Shadow” is a transformative two-hour workshop designed to guide you through shadow work in community. This journey is about uncovering and embracing the multifaceted aspects of our being that we often keep hidden—the parts of ourselves that carry jealousy, anger, anxiety, and more. These are the parts we subconsciously push away, not realizing that they hold the key to our full acceptance and love for ourselves.

We are reluctant to show these aspects of ourselves to the world as they are often viewed as weaknesses or imperfections and are buried deep within our psyche. However, it is essential to recognize that embracing these hidden parts is crucial for achieving genuine self-love. Shadow Work isn't about overcoming these aspects but about bringing them into the light of our conscious awareness.

Workshop Overview

• Intro to the dynamics of Shadow Work: We begin by exploring how our shadow parts develop and operate from the unconscious, often sabotaging the life we desire without us fully realizing. Like a child neglected, these parts act out, desperate for attention.
• Breathing Exercises: We will relax our nervous systems to allow us to connect.
• Journaling and Discussion: Reflect on what emotions or parts you hide from the world and share if you are comfortable.
• Guided Meditation: Delve deep into a guided meditation that evokes the most prominent parts you’ve ignored. We will explore its presence in your body and allow it to relax its intensity.
• Stretch and Movement: Integrate light physical movement to help embody the acceptance of your shadow parts.
• Reflect: What was needed when this part first disintegrated from your consciousness.
• Deep Dive Journaling/Discussion: How can you nurture yourself and your shadow side?
• Shadow Integration Meditation: Welcome the shadow into your whole self.
