HERE SHE IS, cloaked in mystery and power. The Dark Goddess, the keeper of the underworld within.

She does not whisper sweet words of comfort. She calls you deeper. She asks you to look where you have not dared to look before.
SHE IS REJECTED AND PUSHED OUTSIDE OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS 🌖 

This is an evening of descent and awakening, where we meet the Dark Goddess as the sacred guide into our own Shadow. The parts we hide, deny, or judge are the very places where our life force, creativity, and truth are buried.

When we meet our Shadow with presence and compassion, we release the energy trapped in shame, fear, or suppression. We begin to live with greater wholeness, authenticity, and vitality. The Dark Goddess invites us to see that what we call “dark” is often only what has been unloved.

Together we will enter sacred circle and
	•	Meet and embody your Dark Goddess archetype
	•	Encounter what has been repressed or feared
	•	Reclaim your power, vitality, and creative fire - and all her secret gifts

This will be a deeply embodied experience of shadow work through Archetypal exploration, Invocation, and inner process. You will be guided safely into the terrain where transformation begins.

As always, spaces are very limited to keep our circle intimate and safe.

What is Shadow Work

Shadow work is the process of meeting, understanding, and integrating the parts of ourselves that we have hidden, denied, or rejected. These are the aspects that live in the unconscious and quietly shape our emotions, reactions, and relationships. The Shadow holds not only our pain and shame but also our creativity, vitality, and power. When we bring light and compassion to what has been buried, we begin to live with greater authenticity, freedom, and inner coherence.

Why Shadow Work Matters

1. To reclaim your lost power
Everything we push into the Shadow still moves within us. It shows up as self-sabotage, anxiety, or projection. By consciously meeting these hidden parts, we reclaim the energy that was locked away in repression and fear. This liberated power becomes creativity, confidence, and agency.

2. To cultivate wholeness and self-acceptance
Shadow work invites us to hold all that we are, not only the parts that are pleasant or approved of. Integration brings wholeness. We learn to meet our own complexity with compassion and honesty rather than judgment or denial. This creates a grounded sense of peace and self-trust.

3. To deepen relationships and spiritual growth
When we acknowledge and integrate our Shadow, we stop projecting it onto others. Our relationships become more authentic, and our capacity for empathy expands. Spiritually, this work opens us to the full range of human experience and allows us to embody our light without rejecting our darkness.
