Shadow Work® weekend for Women in Atlanta, GA 2024

Whether you have no experience at all or you’ve practiced some kind of shadow work independently with books and journals or even one-on-one with a coach, and you’re ready to elevate your journey, this workshop is your next step! With the guidance of experienced facilitators and support of the other women in the group, you will have the opportunity to:

• — Expand your confidence by learning how to channel the power of all emotions for growth and expression.
• — Transform how you engage in challenging situations and relationships by giving your body a “”redo”” so you can experience what it’s like to move through conflict in a good way.
• — Deepen self-understanding and harness your life force energy for full engagement in life.

Consider these everyday examples:

• — Perhaps you experienced anger as dangerous, so you hold it in to avoid causing harm. But you find it hard to set boundaries or take assertive action. Wouldn’t it be great to access the essence of that energy when needed without causing harm?
• — Maybe you have the idea that vulnerability is weak, so you deny those kinds of experiences (including asking for help) in favor of more manageable ones. Now, you struggle to be connected and vulnerable in relationships, even though you know it’s essential. And you could really use a break (or some help!)…
• — Somewhere along the way you learned that being a “”people-pleaser”” or taking care of what others want/need was a way to feel worthy or good enough, but now it’s not working as well or it’s taking a toll on your well-being. You’d like to be able to take better care of yourself.
• — Or perhaps you had a caregiver who couldn’t handle your joy, so you buried it to maintain that connection or to fit in with the family. As an adult, you yearn to experience and express joy and playfulness freely, but they feel out of reach. (Yes, even “”positive”” qualities like joy can slip into shadow.)

As women, we hold a unique power to shape the future. By embracing and healing shadows like these, we can help grow a more compassionate and harmonious world. We hope you’ll join us to help rekindle hope for humanity through your own personal transformation. You will emerge from this workshop with a deeper sense of self, stronger relationships, and a renewed outlook on life.

FAQ’s:

I see I’m required to talk with one of the facilitators before I can register, and I can’t just send a deposit. What’s up with that?
Our Shadow Work® modality is not for everyone. We like to talk with people before they register so they (and we) can make a more informed decision as to if this workshop is what they’re looking for. Plus, with that brief conversation, it’s a great opportunity for us to meet each other! You can send a deposit after we talk.

Are food and lodging included?
You are responsible for your own food and lodging although we will provide an abundance of healthy snacks, coffee, tea, and water throughout the weekend.

What is your refund policy?
You can cancel for any reason up to 2-weeks prior for a full refund (less the $200 deposit). If you cancel within 2-weeks of the event, no refund will be provided.

What time should I arrive on Friday? And what time will we end on Sunday?
We’d like folks to arrive on Friday between 5:30p-5:45p EST to get settled so that we can start promptly at 6p EST. We will be finished by 5p on Sunday.

How do you hold the unique perspectives & experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds?
This is a workshop for people that identify as women. With that said, we are committed to creating a space that honors and embraces the diverse perspectives and experiences of every participant’s journey of self-discovery and healing-regardless of background, race, gender, ethnicity, age, etc. Please reach out if you’d like to discuss more about this particular topic.

What airport should I fly into?
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is 10 miles from the site!

Can I just show-up?
No. Pre-registration and a chat with one of the facilitators is required. This modality is not for everyone, so we want to chat with you before you register.”
