There is much out there about working with your shadow. 

So much of it is sadly manipulative, wrapped in spiritual by-passing, and ungrounded in reality. The bulk of what is out there ranges from blaming folks for their struggles, erasing privilege and pretending to be trauma informed or whatever this weeks catch phrase is. Much of it promising a quick fix and looking to make a quick buck. 

Shadow work is lifetime work. 

The first thing I’ll say is working with our shadow is happening whether we are aware of it or not. It shows up in dreams, in patterns, and in what Steven Pressfield calls resistance (not the good kind.)

Like working with ancestors it is best to take the long view and plan on building a relationship with the ancestors and shadows for the rest of your life. This is not to say it is always in the foreground or requires a ton of ongoing effect. But with our shadow if it feels neglected it will seek your attention – often in unhelpful ways until you get back to it. 

I know that all might sound a bit scary – but it is only what is already going on. 

Our shadow shows up in all of the tarot – but it is often most easily seen in the Devil, The Moon, and Death. Each brings a blessing and a challenge. 

What will this workshop actually look like? 

We are going to explore where to start when working with our shadow. Exploring what the idea of integration – or living consciously – can do for us. Using a a spread I have been working for almost 2 decades we’ll sit with our shadow – like an old friend who dropped in for coffee. To clarify obstacles, build a relationship and get to understand ourselves better.
