Shadow work isn’t just a concept—it’s the gateway to your deepest transformation. In this excerpt from the Living Tantra Retreat in Bali, we dive into the unconscious parts of ourselves that Carl Jung called “the shadow.” These hidden aspects often sabotage our lives, relationships, and inner peace, but what if they’re actually our greatest teachers?

Through breath, sound, and movement, you’ll learn how to face these shadows head-on, uncovering the jewels they hold for your personal growth. From the victim and control freak to the wounded child and sabotager, we all carry shadows that whisper in our ears and hold us back. But ignoring them is like trying to keep a beach ball underwater—it’ll only smack you in the face harder.

This episode explores:
     • Why shadow work is the quickest path to lasting transformation
     • How suppressed parts of yourself can become allies instead of enemies
     • The key question most people forget to ask their shadows: What do you need?
     • Why embodiment—not just cognitive understanding—is essential for true change

If you’re ready to stop playing small and step into your power, this is your invitation. Join us at the next Living Tantra Retreat in Bali to experience these life-changing practices firsthand. It’s time to confront what’s holding you back and ignite the fire of transformation within. Are you ready?

Quotes from this episode:

"Shadow work is by far my favorite work out of all of this body of work, because it’s the quickest path to transformation, to that metamorphosis, and out the other side of this, through the unconscious, you actually see that these shadows are our greatest teachers and are there with these jewels for us, our allies.”

“The key piece that most people don’t do around shadows is asking that shadow: What is it that you need? What do you want? Because I keep trying to push you away, and you keep knocking at my door—clearly you’re trying to tell me something.”
