Dance Your Shadows

In this workshop we seek to realize, reveal, recognize and integrate as much of our unknown self as possible. Drawing the parts of our selves that we don’t know out of the shadows and into our waking life. To do this, we will be confronting the issues which cut us off from our selves. Fear, shame, anger and other "negative" emotions will be explored and exercised. We will journey into the deep, dark places where we hide the parts of ourselves that we don’t want to acknowledge and bring them back with us. 

This is an advanced workshop. Please contact the email below for prerequisites.

This is a more advanced workshop for those with some degree of experience in shamanic journeying and trancework. It focuses on the healing of this wound through the development of deeper connections with self, spirit, community and the divine.
