Golden & Dark Shadows: A Shadow Work Retreat
Integrating our shadow may be the fastest way to unfold spiritually, and reduce our suffering. By its very nature, shadow work is not fun or pretty. It takes courage and fortitude. Join us for this incredible retreat.

Rather than being discouraged by these experiences, it is helpful to see this as an opportunity to integrate these dark shadows into conscious awareness so that we may be free of their control. Why Integrate the Shadow? The Benefits of this retreat in Nelson, BC May 17-20, 2019 Why work with the shadow?

Please note that this retreat welcomes people […]
