Embrace Your Shadow

The sacred path to Wholeness

We dream of joyfully doing the right things. Yet, we are tripped up by the very things we hate - our 'Shadow' - rage, jealousy, lies, blame, pain, etc. Instead of denying or resisting it, perhaps the way out of our dark side is through it.

The exploration includes 'Personal Values' (CG Jung), 'Yin-Yang' (Chinese philosophy), Body and Breathwork (Yoga/Dance Therapy), 'The Work' (Byron Katie), Ho'opono pono (Hawaiian healing)

The ‘Shadow-work’ process will guide you to surface and heal deeply buried issues around money, health, intimacy, relationships, or make peace with a painful experience by loving and accepting ALL of yourself and discovering Wholeness.

The course will have two parts:
1. Information on women secrets: Women’s sexuality, women’s body and its orgasmic capacity; relationships and emotional fluidity & women’s spirituality.
