Cindy Vargas is a Certified Shadow Work® Coach, Certified Shadow Work® Group Facilitator, and an English teacher in Phoenix, Arizona.
She has designed and co-led over 30 different weekend/week-long intensives and is co-creator of the Soul Beauty weekend for women. Cindy offers Shadow Work® Coaching to individuals seeking significant change and growth.
Raised in Bolivia by American parents, Cindy is fluent in Spanish and has translated Shadow Work® training materials. As a teacher, writer, and life coach, Cindy has facilitated learning for more than 25 years. She participated and mentored leader training in LifeJourney Circle groups and completed the training in facilitation with Open Hearts. She also spent years as a massage therapist, learning to understand the language of the body.
Along with the gifts of being a TCK (third culture kid), comes the wounding of abandonment, abuse from boarding school authorities and church leaders, loss of the sense of belonging, loss of family and friends, and many other painful experiences. Those deep wounds led her to seek healing and become a healer. She helps people develop enough internal safety to create the way they want to live.
Cindy loves to travel, read, write and paint. And if she gets to do this with her two daughters, life is really good. Her many travels have led her to hold a wide worldview and to become fascinated with the study of personality and character. She developed tools to help people explore archetypal energy through the use of story and the characters that populate their inner kingdom.
Cindy writes frequent articles for the Shadow Work® email newsletter, including Metaphorically Speaking, The Telling Story, What Does the Jester Want?, and a lengthy interview with Shadow Work® founder Cliff Barry, The “Big Guy” and the Three Big Paradoxes.
