Shadow Work: How to Do It – Episode 69

Engaging in shadow work is one of the most profound gifts we can give ourselves. With 95% of our inner workings operating in the unconscious realms, there is no limit to the mysteries and the power that is held within the hidden aspects of self.

In today’s episode, we dive into the subject of the shadow. We explore some of the prevalent patterns and defenses that inhibit us from growing or moving forward. We discuss the various practices that can best serve us in breaking through; and we experience the magic of coming together in circle and how it allows us to go deeper and further on our journey to ‘know thyself’.
