What does it mean to practice radical self love?
What is shadow work?
How do I change deep-rooted, unhealthy behaviours that keep me stuck?
How do I fully accept myself?
How do I overcome self doubt?
If you’re interested in exploring these questions and learning how connect with your own unique gifts this workshop is for you.
I will share my own experience of shadow integration based on 7 years of self study in this area along with the concepts of shadow and light from a Tantric and Taoist perspective.
The workshop will include exercises, self reflection and journalling, along with movement and breath practices, all held within a safe and supportive container.
Everyone is welcome. No previous experience of shadow work, yoga or movement required.
Shadow work is all about love. It’s about fully accepting the parts of ourselves that we may push away. It’s about shining the light into areas that we may feel are ‘not ok’, and realising that the truth and beauty of our true self lies within those parts. It’s about realising deeply, then fully embodying the truth that we are already whole, already healed and that we are love.
I once saw a painting that moved me deeply. Underneath were the words ‘dedicated to my darkness where my creativity resides'. I’ve always known on some deep level that my shadow side houses my most exquisite gifts. Over the years I’ve spent masses of energy trying to hide what I thought was unacceptable, what I was unable to love from others, repress and suppress it and beat it into submission via the spiritual path. These days I see my shadow, bring love to it, invite it for tea and give it a warm cosy hug. This isn’t about condoning behaviours that are harmful. It’s about living authentically and accepting the truth of who we are, shadow and light.
Integrating our shadow is definitely not easy. But it is the only way to unconditional love and true freedom, for the benefit of ourselves and everyone else.
