We all have a shadow - a part of ourselves that we hide away because it is too painful to look at, shameful, or unacceptable to the society we live in. It contains parts of ourselves we have exiled. Those parts, however, don’t stay quietly hidden. They act, sometimes in surprising or destructive ways. Shadow work is a key to personal and spiritual development. Without working on your shadow, these unconscious parts can run aspects of your life. You will never fully discover and follow your true path with so much of yourself hidden away. Carl Jung said this about the shadow: “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” This course seeks to do just that. Numerous exercises teach you to shine a light on your shadow parts and find out what they are. You will then go further and communicate with and integrate your newly uncovered shadow parts.
