PERSONAL SHADOW WORK INTENSIVES
“Only when we’re brave enough to explore the darkness
will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
-Brene Brown
Shadow work is essential for a fully lived life.
It’s not always easy to come to terms with our shadow selves. Many people tend to repress those hidden parts of themselves to avoid having to confront anything that makes us uncomfortable. Even though the shadow still exists, it gets pushed back and forgotten.
Repressing your inner shadow can have dangerous consequences. Most often, the shadow manifests as our triggers — emotional reactions that we haven’t fully dealt with and bubble up to the surface causing us to react and make choices we often regret. It takes self-awareness, guidance, and courage to help you
face your shadow self in a healthy way.
Life is a multi-faceted experience that desires to be embraced from all angles in order to be understood and lived fully. If you continue to bury your shadow, you may feel fractured or out of alignment. This leads to the inability to experience a deeper sense of integration and wholeness. Our shadow self blocks us from acting on behalf of our own greatest good and can prevent us from reaching our true potential. When working with the shadow, you have portals to awakening that lead to greater authenticity, creativity, and emotional freedom.
Liberating our shadow will turn us into happier people, give us more self-confidence and boost set a lot of creative energy free. So if you have been looking to learn to love yourself more and deepen the connection with yourself, shadow work is the path.

SHADOW WORK AND RELATIONSHIPS
MARCH 23, 2024
12-3PM EST
Relationships, which are about embracing both the good and wounded parts of another person, are designed to help us see ourselves more clearly. Being in relationship with another person shows us ourselves, enlightening us but also challenging us to accept our strengths and our flaws. Relationships are both a portal to and a mirror of our shadow self.
We all desire to love and be loved, to be accepted and to fit in. We want to be appreciated for who we are, and for others to see our uniqueness and essence of who we are. Yet this desire is deeply vulnerable and intimate. It can be terrifying, especially if we have a very unloving relationship to ourselves. In those cases we hide the judged, shamed or even despised parts of ourselves which we don’t like and we keep these parts in the shadow.
The shadow is fed through past wounds, unhealed parts of us, or through places of fear, instead of relating from our heart, soul, and self-love. The problem is that our unhealed parts get triggered by others or through the dynamics of the relationship.
Our relationships are designed to show us more about ourselves so that we can grow, evolve, share and come into more self-love and self-acceptance.
This is for you if.....
You are afraid of conflict or confrontation
You often don’t feel seen or heard
You forego your needs and desires for others and often put yourself last
You are overly tolerant of bad behavior or disrespect
You often feel disappointed or let down
You make others responsible for your happiness and stability
You are afraid of loss and have an inability to let go
In this intensive you will learn:
What triggers you and how that is a portal to your unhealed shadow parts.
The power of transparency and vulnerability as the path to deeper intimacy and connection.
How reactivity and projection are ways that we act out from our shadow.
To see more clearly your own shadow parts and how to take responsibility for them.
How your shadow will often keep you stuck and connected to toxic people or situations.
“Doing shadow work changed my life. It allowed me to face everything I had spent a lifetime running from and remove the heavy weight I had been carrying. I felt freer than I ever have in my life.”

SHADOW WORK AND MONEY
MAY 18, 2024
12-3PM EST
Our relationship with money can either be sourced through the shadow or light. When our relationship comes from the shadow it is based on scarcity, fear, or lack and fuels our self-limiting thoughts, behaviors and actions. When it is based on light, we feel empowered, capable and abundant.
Our relationship with money begins at a very young age and we often internalize messages from those around us that inform our journey forward. The shadow can breed contempt for those who have more, and pity for those who have less.
This Intensive will show you that by making the shadow conscious, you can begin to realize that if you admire the successful (the golden shadow) there is something within you that has the capacity for success. If you have compassion for the less fortunate, you have the capacity to care for yourself through challenging times. What we admire in others, we possess. What we judge in others we also possess.
This is for you if.....
You often feel in a state of scarcity and lack
You have judgements around others' success and wealth
You often struggle with making ends meet
You feel like a victim of your circumstances
You struggle taking responsibility for your money and setting boundaries
You feel a lot of shame around money and your capacity to earn it
In this intensive you will learn:
How to address limiting beliefs and stories around money.
How you may self-sabotage opportunities for greater success and fulfillment
How your beliefs lead to behaviors that mask and fuel your shadow.
How to look at areas where you avoid financial responsibility, creating patterns that replicate the familiarity of childhood traumas and chaos.
How to connect compassionately with your shadow parts that drive your fears of financial and other forms of success.
How to begin to liberate yourself from the compulsive shadow patterns that keep you in a mindset of lack and shortfall.
Shadow work is so incredibly powerful. It illuminates and awakens parts of ourselves that have been so deeply hidden out of trauma, fear, and shame. It allowed me to release years of pent up emotion and feel a greater sense of peace.

SHADOW WORK AROUND
FEAR OF CHANGE AND UNCERTAINTY
SEPTEMBER 21st, 2024
12-3PM EST
We live in uncertain, changing, and often chaotic times. Whether it is our careers, relationships, lifestyles, climate, politics, or even our emotions, everything seems to be in flux leaving it hard to stay grounded and balanced. This unease can lead us to feeling fearful, unsafe and out of control of our surroundings and our future.
The shadow feeds off fear. Because the mind cannot tolerate uncertainty, we unconsciously make up stories. Research shows that when we feel unsettled or fearful, most of the stories we make up are intended to provide evidence to support the fear. However, if we consciously focus on things we can do to shift from fear-based consciousness to positive, pro-active or purposeful ideas and actions, the mind will seek evidence to support that instead.
The shadow, once we examine it, shows us what is not working in our lives and gives us an opportunity to heal on a deeper level. Once we can address our wounds around safety, trauma, and our own internal capacity to navigate difficult times, we no longer have to be a victim of the external chaos.
This is for you if.....
You feel a lot of fear and anxiety around things you can’t control
You struggle with connecting to yourself or a higher power on a deeper level
You often feel unsafe
You give away your power to others in the hopes of being rescued
You tend to ruminate on fearful thoughts
You often feel helpless and powerless
In this intensive you will learn:
How to address your wounds around chaos, lack of safety and uncertainty that generate fear of change.
How to look at areas of the shadow where you avoid discomfort by relying on distractions, numbing and other traps.
How to connect with your shadow parts with love and compassion so you can generate more internal safety.
How to begin to free yourself from the stories and patterns that feed the fear of change.
