Shadow Work® is more than an intellectual exercise—it’s an embodied journey into more of who we truly are. It is a kind of light work, actually…
Join us in April for Spark of Illumination: The Art of Shadow Alchemy, a dynamic and immersive Shadow Work experience. This approach goes beyond books, journaling, and meditation to ignite the beginnings of true, embodied transformation. (“Transformation”, by the way, is rarely a single event; it often starts with a breakthrough and evolves through ongoing awareness and intentional practice. This workshop provides the breakthrough and then equips you with tools and guidance to sustain and deepen the changes you wish to create.)
Guided by professional facilitators and supported by the energy of group engagement, this workshop offers an unparalleled opportunity for personal growth and healing. Through a series of experiential practices, you’ll explore and integrate:
Consciousness and Energy: Practices to bring shadow aspects into awareness, unlocking trapped energy to enhance presence and vitality.
Spirituality: Reconnect with your core essence, access deeper meaning, and align with a greater sense of purpose.
Psychology: Rooted in Jungian theory, this workshop provides structured support to explore suppressed traits and emotions, fostering psychological resilience and conscious living.
Somatic Intelligence: Transformative body-based practices that allow you to process emotions holistically and empower lasting change.
Fun! Shadow exploration can be hard and scary. Indeed, that’s what everyone assumes. However, it is also quite fun! I promise we’ll laugh and cheer and play together. No kidding!
Spaces are limited.
Reserve your spot today or get some more info and take a powerful step toward a more vibrant, integrated self.
This isn’t a journey you’ll navigate alone. With guided processes and somatic practices, you'll move beyond theory into a felt, transformative experience. The nurturing environment provides the perfect backdrop for illuminating hidden aspects of the self, releasing stagnant energy, and stepping into a more integrated and empowered sense of being.
Who is this for?
This workshop is for humans! It offers a comprehensive journey of self-discovery, resilience-building, and personal empowerment. Whether you’re seeking to heal old wounds, build stronger relationships, or step more fully into who you want to be, Spark of Illumination is your invitation to illuminate the path forward.
Consider if any of these strike a chord with you:
Anger is unpleasant, scary, or may seem 'negative' because it is a lower vibrational frequency and tends to attract more negativity. Yet, anger inevitably surfaces in life. (We believe there are benefits to acknowledging and constructively engaging it to transform underlying issues. Making it even less likely to attract more negativity!)
You truly want to dislodge deep-seated sadness (or anger) that seems to have been anchored within you. You feel lighter just imaging that.
You have heard that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength, and you’d really like to experience it that way. There’s no way you can do that in your regular life.
Pleasing others was your path to feeling worthy, but it also drains your own wellbeing. You understand it is wise to accept or seek support.
Throughout life, you dimmed your joy or other ‘big’ qualities to blend in or not be “too much,” yet you yearn to express that bigness openly.
We developed these kinds of beliefs and strategies for really good reasons, but they’re not working as well as they used to. One beautiful thing about being human is that we can transform them to serve our highest and greatest good… we find the gold in them. Yay!
No prior experience is required—just bring an open mind and a willing heart.

Sometimes, the best way to process and integrate is to MOVE! We're excited to also welcome Stephanie from Redefined Counseling, an LCSW and past participant of our 2024 Boise Shadow Work event, to guide us through Embodied Movement.
