Learn how to get the most out of this course.
What is the shadow and what does it contain?
If you skip shadow work, your shadow can run the show, limiting conscious control and growth; integration through waking up, growing up, and cleaning up keeps you empowered.
Discover how beginning shadow work is the most important.
How to take an interested observer position to help the work
Practice the that's not like me journaling game by recalling two moments when you acted outside your normal self, then reflect non-judgmentally to uncover your shadow.
Do your own shadow work by examining other people's problems to surface triggers, projections, and pet peeves, using journaling to build awareness and begin processing.
Identify triggers and roots in your shadow by recording surges with date and time in a trigger journal. Observe without judgment and move toward a responsive stance as patterns emerge.
What to do when you notice yourself becoming reactive.
Work with your shadow parts
Learn the 3-2-1 shadow work process.
Learn about shame vs. guilt and how shame and the shadow interact
Tackle the ideal self through an advanced shadow exercise, inventory ideals and their opposites, and use cognitive dissonance to approach lapses with compassion for integrated self-growth.
Work towards integrating your shadow parts
Looking at the collective, cultural, and social shadows
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. You will then learn advanced topics like how to become aware of the collective shadow that shapes our world.
This course will enhance your knowledge of yourself and help you to unlock a genuine source of psycho-spiritual power.
