Five Virtual Sessions
Wednesdays, 9-11am PT
Do you struggle to engage your anger or maintain boundaries?
Do you find yourself stuck in cycles of anxiety, passive aggression, or numbing behaviors?
Are there traumas, hidden messages, or significant people from your past that hinder you from engaging in relationships and present opportunities?
This course offers tools and language for exploring and integrating your “shadow,” the parts of our humanity we hide, repress, and deny. We'll explore concepts such as core emotions, counter-emotions, projections etc. for ongoing inner work and relational wholeness.
The course structure will move between high quality instruction, individual reflection, and voluntary group sharing. Clear boundaries and expectations are established to provide safety and sustainability to our time.
