"I loved the feeling of community and sisterhood! I realized I am not alone on my journey, not alone in my struggles. I am really excited about Group Work now, and its potential. I also greatly appreciated having tangible exercises, books and resources to work on! Hannah did great at creating a safe container where magic can happen." ~ Anna, Embracing the Shadow Participant

 
 

Dear One,

You have broken so many patterns. You have explored the wilderness and found healing. You have returned with powerful medicine to share. You listen deeply. I want to support you in going deeper still.

Perhaps the idea of connecting with like minded women intrigues and excites you. I know we can go further together than we can go alone.

This year long program is designed to help you connect deeply with the synchronicities in your life and to support you in bringing your unique magic into every aspect of your life.

I believe community is the cauldron where magic is made and that community offers us exponential opportunities for growth and expansion.

Embracing the Shadow is an opportunity to explore, play and connect with an intimate cohort of women for a full year.

 
 


Embracing the Shadow Women's group holds space for you to:

• Share deeply about your hopes, dreams, gifts and challenges.

• Express your feelings, insights and creativy.

• Connect with your depths by creating a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious mind.

• Recieve resources and practice tools that nurture your dream life.

• Develop intuition and trust in your own journey.

• Explore life through the archetypal and Jungian lens of Tarot and Astrology.

• Experiment with new ways of thinking and being in community.

 
 
 

Connect with archetypes: In Embracing the Shadow we move through the year together... with ancient archetypes as our guides. If you you are drawn to art, poetry, the tarot or astrology you will love this approach. In Jungian psychology, an archetype is the original pattern from which all copies are made. By studying the archetypes we learn the ancient language of symbolism and we connect with and tell our stories with new depth and meaning.

Connect with alchemy: Alchemy is at the heart of Embracing the Shadow. Alchemy is the art of transformation and involves both dissolving/letting go and manifesting/birthing new forms. Each month we explore practices that nurture both aspects of your personal process. Each month we alchemize challenges into opportunities together!

Embracing the Shadow is part salon, mystery school, alchemical community and women's group.

Salon

A salon is a gathering of people held by an inspiring host. During the gathering they amuse one another and increase their knowledge through conversation.

 

Mystery School

A group of initiates dedicated to deepening their understanding of the mystery teachings. We study the Tarot archetypes and archetypal astrology to bring this ancient wisdom into modern life. In Embracing the Shadow we integrate modern psychology and western mysticism for potent transformation.

 
 

Alchemical Community

A group of people dedicated to honoring wholeness. A group that encourages participants to express their whole selves and to take creative risks. In Embracing the Shadow we honor the light and the dark sides of life and empower each other to turn our dark past into our greatest asset.

 

Women's Group

A place where depth of feeling is welcomed and held. A place where the cycles of women's lives can be shared and celebrated.

  • Follow your bliss

  • Release old ideas about being too much or not enough

  • Visit deep wells of connection with Self and other

  • Enjoy a community that explicitly supports your growth and development

  • LOVE the work you do

  • Alchemize instead of avoid difficult feelings

  • Let go of people pleasing

  • Be as good to yourself as you are to others

  • Take exciting risks that will enhance your personal and professional life

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness visible” - Carl Jung

In Alchemy there is a foundational equation: Solve ~ Coagula

This equation means that transformation is a death ~ rebirth cycle that requires letting go and dissolving as well as sustained willingness to birth new forms and ways of being. Every month in Embracing the Shadow we explore both aspects of transformation!

 

We practice letting go of...

  • People pleasing and approval seeking

  • Playing small or worrying about judgement

  • Toxic or carried shame

  • Perfectionism

  • Lingering resentments

  • Unsustainable sources of self esteem

  • Imposter syndrome

  • Old ideas and beliefs

  • Obstacles and blockages

We practice calling in:

  • Aliveness, freedom, creativity, confidence, clarity and pleasure

  • The integration of light and dark

  • Unconditional self acceptance

  • Identifying and satisfying desires

  • Integrity in work and relationship

  • Boundaries

  • Self awareness

  • Feeling connected to your soul’s purpose

  • Embodiment

  • Chosen community

  • Tools to alchemize challenges into opportunities

  • Deep trust in yourself and your unique journey

  • A connection with your own depths and intuition

  • The ability to help others and attract others authentically

  • Deep connection with the Mystery

Group meetings:

  • One meeting via zoom towards the beginning of the month (usually around the new moon) where we dive into that month’s themes, archetypes and practices. (1 hour) Wednesdays 6 pm PST

  • One meeting via zoom towards the end of the month (usually around the full moon) where we focus on connection and process. (2 hours) Wednesdays 6 pm PST

  • Occasional optional meetings focused on socializing or monthly practices. (1 hour) Saturdays 10 am PST

Private forum:

The Embracing the Shadow private Mighty Network forum includes only myself and your Embracing the Shadow cohort. This is the place to nurture connections!I also sometimes provide additional videos and resources here.

Here you can:

  • ask any questions of me or the group

  • share your process, insights, artwork and more

  • share resources

  • make connections

Modalities we explore :

  • Jungian active imagination

  • Expressive art therapies

  • Group process

  • Authentic movement

  • Much more…

Why this program works like magic:

  • We integrate modern psychology and western mysticism for potent transformation.

  • Structure, tools and resources help us stay focussed and go deeper.

  • Groups offer exponential opportunities for growth, insight and Shadow integration.

  • We practice specific tools that turn challenges into insights, growth and connection (alchemy).

  • Carl Jung said the fastest way to connect with the unconscious and integrate the Shadow is by working with dreams, projections and images. Our monthly curriculum focusses on all three.

  • The program is set up to support you in connecting with your own depths making you the source of your own healing and insight.

  • We focus on an embodied approach that keeps us grounded and creates lasting, sustainable transformation.

"I created a connection with a group of radiant women, received tools to work through different types of stoppages, a true connection to nature and myself." ~ Nicole, Embracing the Shadow Participant

"Shadow work is about embracing all the parts of you, and releasing shame around them. Becoming your whole self. Playing with your Shadow parts and seeing how you can use them to your power" ~ Anna, Embracing the Shadow Participant

Why I Created This Program:

I am in love with and am courting the great Mystery. I wanted to create an offering for deeply curious people who are passionate about alchemizing, integrating and transforming. Embracing the Shadow is a collage of resources comprised of two decades of recovery, training, spiritual practice and personal study. This program is a medicine bag filled with the things that have really helped both my clients and me personally transform over the years. Group work, Jungian psychology and Shadow integration helped me turn my own dark past into my greatest asset. Now I want to hold space for others to do the same.

 
 

Embracing the Shadow can help you develop:

  • Creative expression

  • A relationship with your dreams

  • A supportive and inspiring community

  • A meditation practice

  • Personal boundaries

  • The ability to give and receive feedback

  • A personal relationship with archetypes

  • An personal Tarot practice

  • An appreciation of art, film and poetry

  • Your personal spirituality

  • Radical self love

  • Rewarding relationships based on mutuality

  • Richly rewarding work

  • The confidence that comes from honoring both our light and our dark

This Process Is for you if...

  • You are ready to let go of perfectionism

More from participants...

"This was my first experience in a women's group. I felt a strong sense of support and a safe space to explore aspects of myself that I sometimes view as shameful or "bad'. I have felt better this month than I have in a long time and I attribute a majority of that to my participation in this group. I'm taking away some positive habits such as writing down my dreams and pulling a tarot card. I've also developed friendships rooted in exploration of self and mutual respect" ~ Makenna, Embracing the Shadow Participant

"The group gave me a container to focus and wonder. It was helpful to hear others talk about their experience and to notice what felt similar and different. The prompt to pull a card or image each day brought me into deeper connection with my new deck, and it was really fun. I loved having the FB group to share images and thoughts - more opportunities to see synchronicities between us. I loved the focus and holding of the group. Thank you! I liked the opportunity to share something creative for the closing ritual. I get excited about bringing songs into more of my spaces. Loving sharing that part of me more." ~ Jeremi, Embracing the Shadow Participant

Why Work With Me?

Hi, I am so glad you are here. My name is Hannah Green and I am a depth psychotherapist.

I have a Transpersonal, Jungian and Gestalt training background. I am trained in modalities that go beyond talk therapy and seek to engage the unconscious mind. Creating a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious mind enables therapy to catalyze lasting change and nurtures a deep sense of joy and meaning in life. During a session in addition to talking, we may work experientially, look at art or imagery, go on a guided imagination journey, or build your own inner world in the sand tray.

Every method I employ is to support my clients to connect with their own depths and trust themselves. I believe it is this connection with their own depths that has allowed my clients to find what they are looking for. This approach has helped clients recover from past trauma, develop intuition and open to the Mystery. I am a compassionate advocate that will support you on your inner journey and also help you find the gift in the challenge.

I think you will most value my:

  • Ability to help you connect with your own intuition, creativity and depths.

  • Ability to help you identify and dissolve blockages and obstacles to what you want.

  • Intuitive connection with the inner world.

  • Knowledge of relationships and attachment.

  • Compassionate stance and ability to hold a safe container.

  • Years of experience holding space for others.

  • Intuition and knowledge of the Tarot
