About the Shadow: 

The "Shadow Self" is the part of you that you have not felt safe to be, to explore, or to feel. In the Shadow, you may find qualities you deem positive or negative. Keeping these qualities in the Shadow is a way of dismissing the fullness of you and hindering your truest freedom and most authentic expression of self. Our work in class will always be aimed towards empowerment, compassion, with the goal of walking away from this class feeling more confident and whole. 

While the Shadow Self concept is seeped heavily in psychology, our class will, as a whole, be looking at this concept through the Akashic lens of "human and soul" parts, as well as "energy," but we may infuse some psychology concepts into our discussions. 

Students will need to come with a notebook or journal for in-class writing exercises.
