The Embodied Shadow

Welcome to The Embodied Shadow!

The Embodied Shadow is a one-day immersion / retreat into the parts of ourselves we have learned to hide, quiet, contain, or leave waiting in the dark. Not to fix the shadow. Not to get rid of it. But to meet its medicine and to give voice and expression to what has been held inside... to discover the wisdom, vitality, and truth that may have been there all along.

Throughout the day, we’ll move through embodiment practices, ceremony and ritual, primal movement, restorative yoga, an inspired shamanic journey, and a song circle with our guest Jaya, allowing voice to become another doorway into expression. We’ll also have space to soak in our private natural hot springs, awaken the body through the cold plunge, rest, integrate, and simply be.

And because shadow work does not always have to be heavy, there will be room for playfulness, curiosity, pleasure, and surprise within opportunities to become more intimate with the parts of ourselves we may have judged, suppressed, or tucked away. Sometimes it is through play that we can get close enough to the shadow to actually hear what it has been trying to tell us.

This is an invitation to bring more of yourself into the room. To let what has been hidden have breath, sound, movement, and expression. To meet your shadow not as something wrong with you, but as something that may carry deep medicine and perhaps, through that intimacy, become even more fully you.

Only 8 sacred spaces available for a powerful and intimate exploration.

Please reach out with any curiosity.
