Four Virtual Sessions
Fridays, 9-11am PT

This course builds off the 2-hour Companioning Our Shadow experimental course. It offers students an opportunity to explore the concept of “shadow,” more intricately and develop language and practice to continue integrating shadow, and healing their relationships. Concepts such as counter emotions, defenses, projections, transferences, and boundaries are defined and explored in depth. Students will leave this course with practical and accessible tools for continued shadow work, both for themselves and their communities.
