The Erotic shadow

An intensive 4-week course, An exploration of sexual shame and personal power. Online Via Zoom - Starting Thursday 02 February 2022 Course Dates (all Thursdays) : - 02, 09, 16, 23 February Start time every week: 12 noon PST / 3pm EST / 8pm UK / 9pm CET Session duration: 2 hours / week OVERVIEW Our shadow is the part of ourselves that we want to avoid, that we sweep under the rug, that we don’t want to see and we certainly don’t want to talk about. 
When it remains unexplored it can create a murky underworld that can impact every aspect of our life: our relationships, our finances, our relationship to purpose etc. 
It creates patterns, stories and narratives that keep us from being our true selves and from seeing life as it truly is. When explored and integrated, transformation can happen. 
It isn’t, however, just about getting rid of it or resolving it. 
It is a journey to better know ourselves, as the shadow often leads us to the awakening of our greatest power and our highest gifts. 

The sexual shadow can be most potent to explore as it can often hold our darkest shame and our most relentless compulsions. This 4-week course will take you on a deep dive exploring every aspect of your shadow. 

It will offer participants a sacred and safe space to explore these aspects with a group of sacred brothers, while also learning skills that will allow you to deepen the exploration on your own.
