Are there situations and aspects of your life where you feel on autopilot… despite years of personal growth work?

Even if you’ve attended many workshops, spent hundreds of hours in therapy and devoted years to spiritual practice, most of your decisions are STILL driven by your unconscious.

In childhood and your early years of development, you nurtured the aspects of your personality that would get your needs met. Although these aspects have served you well in developing skills and strengths to navigate your life, this process of identifying strongly with certain qualities and rejecting others also cuts you off from other parts of yourself and limits your ability to fully experience and express your potential.

People usually think of “shadow” aspects as negative qualities…

However, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover that many “positive” qualities that you wish you had more of are also buried in your unconscious — often flying just under the radar of everyday consciousness. They’re revealed in your reactions to people and situations, as well as projections (good or bad) that you impose on others. Admiring someone can reveal as much about your shadow as judging others.

Over time, these patterns have created imbalances in your life, work, and relationships.

Perhaps you have vowed to “never date a person like that again,” yet, find yourself in a similar relationship… again… and again.

Or you find your limiting beliefs (and other internal programming) are keeping your big visions for your work in the world, way too small.

Or maybe you feel flat, stuck, or like your life lacks luster… or you find yourself getting reactive and triggered over and over again by certain people or situations.

If you resonate with any of the challenges above, you’re most likely experiencing an imbalance stemming from aspects of your psyche that are relatively disowned. The path to wholeness is through embracing ALL of who you are.

Your shadow is almost always trying to get your attention… whether “acting out,” undermining your efforts, or drawing you to certain types of people and situations. It also appears in dreams as symbols, people, and messages.

Becoming conscious of your shadow and disowned aspects is not just about uncovering negative patterns within your unconscious; often, your shadow is obscuring your greatest gifts.

Module 1: Lighting the Torch

The Beauty of That Which Cannot Be Seen (March 29)

Before you begin your journey, you need to understand where you’re going and why. You also need to pack for the trip! Most people have a very limited understanding of terms like “shadow” and “unconscious.” Many also fear their dark places, leaving them forever controlled by the aspects of themselves that they refuse to see or hear. Clearing up these misunderstandings will demystify the shadow and begin to illuminate the aspects of yourself you’ve been rejecting.

In this module, you’ll:

Enhance your understanding and appreciation of the unconscious aspects of your psyche
Explore the ways that reclaiming the unknown, forgotten, and disowned aspects of your fully expressed being can transform your experience of yourself, your life and your key relationships
Increase your clarity about the consequences of neglecting this essential work for you and others
Learn about the compelling, engaging, and Self-supportive processes and systems that are available to support you in The Shadow Quest.

Module 2: Mapping the Terrain

Understanding the Realm of the Unconscious (April 5)

You’ll take many “dives” into the shadow, experiencing a variety of techniques. What are you looking for? How will you know when you’ve found it? And what will your newfound awareness of your unconscious allow you to be and do? Once you begin to understand how the unconscious works, you’ll see how essential a grasp of it is to have fulfilling, long-lasting, intimate relationships.

In this module, you’ll:

Expand your understanding of the dynamics of equilibrium, opposites, and wholeness and how these natural forces affect you and the world around you (This is especially important for change agents!)
Understand how your personal work reintegrating shadow aspects of yourself impacts the collective
Learn to notice the clues that show you when your shadow has risen up
Identify potential obstacles and challenges along your path

Module 3: Clearing the Path

Removing the Obstacles to Finding Your True Self (April 12) (Mastermind Session: April 19)

Most people are stopped by their fears before they’re able to begin an exploration of their shadow. Learn to identify and clear the fears blocking your path. These same techniques can be used to clear your fears of any goal, dream, or purpose! You’ll also need to establish practices and support that will carry you through this program. Many people are stopped on their journey because of fear, doubt, and lack of adequate preparation and self-care. Clearing these obstacles will create a smooth path forward for your growth and development.

In this module, you’ll:

Identify the conscious and unconscious fears that block your progress on your path
Learn powerful tools that can remove fear and resistance to any goal, vision, dream, or purpose
Identify the key conditions that will allow you to transform yourself into a powerful agent for actualizing your purpose
Explore ways to practice self-care as you encounter your shadow

Module 4: Through the Looking Glass

Seeing the Unconscious at Play in Relationships (April 26; May 3, 10 & 31; June 7 & 14) (Mastermind Session: May 17)

Every person, relationship, and event in your life is reflecting your unconscious back to you, if you only know what to look for! Learn to spot the telltale signs. And once you know you’re facing yourself, learn how to discover and integrate the disowned aspects of yourself that are asking to be reclaimed. Until you’ve mastered this key skill, your unconscious will constantly color and skew your relationships with your loved ones, boss, employees, and clients.

In this module, you’ll:

Learn how shadow aspects of the psyche are created
Understand why certain aspects of your humanity were suppressed and “disowned”
Expand your perspectives about the impact of disowning aspects of who you are, including qualities you truly admire and wish you had more of
Learn to use the people and events around you to identify and integrate lost aspects of yourself
Discover additional techniques for clearing the fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs that can block your path to your dreams and purpose

Module 5: Digging for Treasure

Rediscovering the Parts of Yourself You Left Behind (June 21; & July 5 & 12) (Mastermind Session: June 28)

As a child, you learned to suppress certain things, especially when confronted with challenging and painful experiences. Learn how these formative wounds cost you much of who you really are, and how to reclaim the selves that you left behind. Leaving your childhood wounds in your shadow means that your every decision and motive is rooted in avoidance of early trauma.

In this module, you’ll:

Access greater clarity about the wounds you received in childhood (and beyond) and how they run your life every day
Explore how your psyche’s well-intended attempts to respond to wounding events has resulted in limited self-expression and freedom, difficulty in relationships, and resistance to realizing your full potential
Lean how to unlock the doors that imprison your disowned and discarded shadow to allow greater access to your emotions, full self-expression and confidence — and all the freedom, intimacy, and vitality this brings
Transform your ego’s appreciation for and relationship with your core wounds, so you access an exciting new way of living that’s no longer driven by your patterns

Module 6: Walking in Dreamtime

Exploring the Realm of Symbols (July 19 & 26; August 16 & 23) (Mastermind Session: August 2)

Dreams provide the most direct possible channel to the unconscious. Interpreting this raw shadow material can be very challenging, though, unless you know what to look for! This module is a window into the extraordinary world of images and symbols, the native language of the unconscious. This advanced form of work with the unconscious will open up whole new realms of beauty, power, and resource!

In this module, you’ll:

Expand your understanding of dreams and dreaming as messages from your unconscious
Learn to interpret personal, collective, and universal dream symbols
Learn practical and useful techniques to increase dream recall
Practice incubating dreams to receive guidance and growth in specific areas
Explore “waking dreams” as a way to become aware of your unconscious in everyday life
