This summer, join Institute founder/director Amy Wright Glenn as we explore why shadow work is vital ~ especially for those called to hold space for life’s sacred threshold points like birth, death, deep transformative change/loss.
Through this 8-hour course, you will be guided to consider pathways that support you to integrate, reconcile with, and/or dialogue with the pain, hurt, disappointment, loss, envy, fear, failures, betrayal, and anger you’ve known. For it is essential to the work of holding space to be in restorative relationship with aspects of self too often relegated to the subterranean levels of awareness.
Whether you are drawn to shadow work because it will help deepen your professional work as a birth/death doula or mental health professional or because you are currently wrestling with personal shadows, the integration and healing of one’s shadow is vital and courageous work. It is deep work leading to a transformative and fulfilling life.
Drawing upon the insights of IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy, we need this course in our world now, more than ever.
No Bad Parts by Richard C. Schwartz, PhD is by central to our study. Please order your copy prior to the beginning of our course.
Shadow Work is recorded for all participants. One need not join us live online in order to complete this training.
The more we integrate the shadows within, the more we can strengthen our capacity to bring healing to ourselves, family, community, and world.
This course will:
*Strengthen your courage to embrace shadow work within your individual story, your family’s stories, and our collective human experience.
*Explore what it means to integrate, honor, and befriend all aspects of self in a way that highlights creativity, compassion, curiosity, and courage etc.
*Draw upon mythology, psychology, and spirituality.
*Draw upon IFS to strengthen our compassion, resolve, and understanding.
*Create a brave/safe space for participants to deeply consider how does shadow work connects to grief, fear, birth, death, loss, and love.
Shadow Work includes four 2-hour modules. Should participants seek to earn a certificate of conclusion ~ which is optional~ a 3-part paper written to conclude the course is required.
Certificates of Completion issued by the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death are offered for all who complete the training/workshop. Participants have open access to complete the training requirements, as long as the course is active on the Institute’s website. Once purchased, participants have life-long access to course materials ~ as long as they are available in this format.
*Note, this course is not a replacement for formal therapy and should be undertaken with mindfulness.
Shadow is a term for the discarded aspects of our personalities within that inform our lives. It offers the potential to reveal what we previously thought was unsuitable, so unsuitable that we imprisoned it and forgot it. The aim of healing is to know the shadow well, appreciate it and seek to integrate it.
