About the Workshop:

Gifts from the Shadows

With an emphasis on what it means to be a Man and a Woman

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”- Carl Jung

Shadow is the unacknowledged or repressed part of our personality. While our Persona is the superior part of our consciousness that we accept and express, shadow is the inferior side of the same. Our shadow personality is often obvious to others but unknown to us.

The term “shadow” was first used by Carl G. Jung to describe the repressed or denied part of the Self.

The acceptance of oneself in complete wholeness is the epitome of personal growth. This process may be painful to begin with but becomes very liberating once we discover that the shadow is also a source of energy and vitality. This process can liberate the collective shadows and ignite the fire of creativity in our organizations.

This time we decided to explore a further dimension, about being a Man or a Woman. This is suppressed in many societies and put into the collective shadow. We believe this is at the core of much of the gender related violence we experience in the world.

More and more we see men being asked to be apologetic for being a man and women who seem to disown their feminine side. No doubt it is a reaction to centuries of gender imbalance. But perhaps the answer is not this, but is more counterintuitive.

METHODOLOGY

The workshop will use many approaches to tap into the world of the shadow to achieve self-acceptance, release the energies held by the shadow to become more “whole” and liberated as a person.

Our shadow personality is often obvious to others but unknown to us.The program will therefore use the group as a resource for our exploration with methods like T-group and Appreciative Inquiry. Creative use of dreams, Theatre, drawing, music, writing and rituals will also be used.

Benefits/ Take-Always of the Workshop:

The first two days of the workshop would be a learning opportunity for you to:

Achieve self-acceptance, release the energies held by the shadow to become more “whole” and liberated as a person. To stand more in your power.

  1. Learn and understand the impact of “shadow work” for personal and group life
  2. On the third day of the workshop, we will specifically explore this dimension of our shadow that will help us to integrate the masculine and feminine in all of us.

FOR WHOM

The workshop is offered to anyone who wishes to take the adventure of discovering one’s shadow. This program is offered to those who have an exposure to human process work.
