July 26-28th, 2024 in Escondido, CA (near San Diego)

As women, we hold a unique power to shape the future. By embracing and healing our shadows, we contribute to a more compassionate and harmonious world. Join us in rekindling hope for humanity through your own personal transformation. You will emerge from this workshop with a deeper sense of self, stronger relationships, and a renewed outlook on life. The experience will be enriching and transformative!

If you are a person that identifies as a woman, this is an invitation for you to refresh your perspective and unlock the essence of self-growth. The art of shadow work has emerged from the margins to become a vital, mainstream tool for emotional healing and personal empowerment. But what is this experience of Shadow Work®, trademarked since 1994, and why should it be your next step toward self-discovery?

Shadow Work® is the courageous journey of uncovering and embracing the parts of ourselves we've hidden, ignored, or denied—our "shadow" selves. These are facets of our identity that we’ve pushed aside, whether due to fear, societal expectations, or personal trauma.

Consider these scenarios that might resonate with you:

• Have you ever felt that being angry was “wrong” or “negative”, leading you to suppress it and, as a result, you sometimes struggle with asserting yourself or setting boundaries? Imagine harnessing that suppressed energy to do the hard things.

• Do you carry lingering anger or sadness that feels immovable, despite time passing? Envision releasing that weight and the liberation that follows.

• Have you labeled vulnerability or sadness as signs of weakness, only to find yourself disconnected from meaningful relationships? Re-engaging with these emotions is key to authentic connections.

• If pleasing others was your path to feeling valued, you might now find it's draining your wellbeing. Learning to accept or seek support could be transformative.

• Or perhaps, to maintain harmony or fit in, you dimmed your own joy. As an adult, the desire to express joy freely is there, but it feels just out of reach. Rediscover and unleash this joy within you.

The revelation here is profound: the aspects of ourselves we’ve sidelined don't just vanish. They remain, sometimes surfacing unexpectedly, revealing that they are, indeed, an integral part of us. This realization opens up a beautiful opportunity: to reacquaint ourselves with these elements on our own terms, embracing our complexity and revitalizing our energy. It's a journey towards becoming whole.

This workshop is for you if you are a woman ready and willing to:

• Elevate Your Confidence and Amplify Your Voice: Learn to embrace every emotion—joy, fear, sadness, anger—as a force for growth and self-expression.

• Transform Difficult Dynamics: Offer yourself a chance to reshape your role in challenging relationships and situations, moving past old patterns to foster healthier connections and personal peace.

• Break Free from Stagnation: If you’re feeling stuck, discover tools and strategies to navigate through these barriers, unlocking the vibrant potential within you.

• Deepen Self-Awareness and Vitalize Your Energy: Engage in a journey of self-discovery to understand your patterns and behaviors, tapping into the wellspring of energy that is your life force.

Join us for an enriching workshop that promises not just to guide you but to inspire a profound and lasting transformation. Together, we’ll navigate the rich emotional landscape within you, offering a unique opportunity to embrace the hidden facets of your being to live a life of authenticity and fulfillment.
