Reflection, Expression, Imagination, and Integration.

The workshop will propose an immersive exploration into one’s own shadow world.

Through self reflection, journaling and inquiry, we will invite participants to explore their shadow.

In the first workshop we will look briefly at Jung’s theory and then turn the light to ourselves. We will question our personal conscious point of view as well as our persona, family values and ways in which we have unconsciously adapted. We will consider what is disliked, detested, even hated: what we do not allow in ourselves and not permit in others.

The second part of the workshop will focus on shadow dreams (recognition and analysis of some themes) along with a focus on the propitious attitude to the shadow and ask an essential question: is it possible to integrate our shadow?

In each workshop participants will do imaginative and embodied explorations to give voice to shadow material that might be coming up.  

Needed material: a journal
