Psychedelics and the Shadow: A Deep Dive

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

In Jungian terms, the Shadow is a part of us that we deny, hide or repress. 

This repression could have been for reasons that served us once upon a time- to survive, to adapt, to belong. These hidden and sometimes challenging aspects of self - so often rejected in society - can cause us to feel overwhelmed, shamed or out of control when they do manifest. Due to the nature of psychedelics, the shadow often emerges during our "trip" and can cause us to become fearful of journeying into these hidden aspects of self. 

This workshop is for anyone wanting to explore their shadow in a safe container, understand the mind on psychedelics, and find tools to integrate the exiled psyche.

Over the course of a full day together we will have space to build connection,  trust and community to look at this work deeply and sensitively.  We will be drawing on Emotional Freedom Techniques and Neuro Linguistic Programming, Rituals, and relating exercises to create a safe and revealing passage into our inner world.

Feedback from previous workshops

★★★★★ Curtis Avent on Psychedelics and the Shadow

"Best thing I have done in such a long time." 

★★★★★ Rachael Kelly on Healing the Family Shadow

"Dom was such a great facilitator for this workshop, her energy is so great and she held the space very well. She was super understanding of everyone's needs and felt into the situations to see if anyone needed extra support or attention at any time, there was no pressure for anyone to do anything they weren't comfortable with but we all showed up with honesty and vulnerability, I felt very supported. The EFT was my favorite part of the day, it was super powerful and the statements used where specific but also resonated massively among the group. I would definitely attend another one of her workshops and even considering having some EFT sessions separately too."  

★★★★★ Luke Brinsford  on Psychedelics and the Shadow

"Really well held by the facilitator, who managed to weave together discussion and reflection, alongside embodied and relational exploration between participants. There was enough containment to be able to touch in to what it is a really wild area."
