Embracing the Shadow
Hannah Green
Dear Community,
What does it mean to be whole? How do we create balance in our lives and heal addiction? Where does a sense of aliveness, wonder and purpose come from? What creates real and lasting intimacy? How do we come to peace with our past? What does it mean to grow up and individuate? How do I live from a place of authenticity, power, vulnerability, love and creativity?
These are the themes I sit with and explore every day - in my own life in in my work with individuals and couples. Shadow work allows people to explore these questions in highly personal, insightful and transformational ways.
The shadow is what is unknown, undeveloped or unsupported in us. It is the rich soil of our potential. The process of exploring and owning our shadow can be exciting, mysterious, empowering, vulnerable and enlivening. The shadow is everywhere in Nature and in her cycles. Perhaps Nature can inspire us to embrace our shadow ~ opening us to the cycles of life and the feelings that flow through us.
Join me for a fun evening of exploration, active imagination and ritual exploring the shadow. I hope to see you there! Register here.
