Part 1: Turn Towards the Dark Side?

In this first workshop, we uncover the basic principles that make shadow work such an effective approach for emotional healing and personal growth.

Writing Exercise

Starting point: something you dislike in yourself, something you struggle with, some form of emotional pain.

Inquiry

• Describe the thing in detail.
• How does it feel? How does it make you feel that you have this trait or this pain?
• Why does it make you feel like this?
• What else is there?

Acceptance

• Accept the present truth, as it is.
• Accept the feelings you are feeling, right now.
• Accept your resistance, your judgement - accept the meta feelings.
