Shadow Work & Samhain: Alchemy in the Dark

Shadow Work & Samhain: Alchemy in the Dark

A 90-minute exploration with Kelly-Ann Maddox

Samhain is the witches’ New Year – a wondrously intense time of realisation, reclamation, and realignment. Its skeletal hand reaches out to us, offering the opportunity to travel to lesser known (and often consciously avoided) places within ourselves. We can emerge from those travels with new understandings and the potential to see everything change for the better. But bravery is required if we’re going to make this season count. Sometimes, the answers you’re seeking are hidden in shadow. Samhain is the perfect time to ask difficult questions. 

During this 90-minute talk, we’ll cover: 

- What the hell is shadow work, anyway?

- The link between Samhain and productive, high-poweredshadow work

- Busting shadow work myths and misunderstandings 

- Energetic protection and safety advice for shadow workers

- Shadow-mapping and other practical techniques 

- Psychospiritual shadow work methods

- Mystical tools for handling unearthed shadow content

- Tracking shadows and understanding integration 

- The collective shadows of fascism, bigotry and genocide, and how witches can (and should) confront them 

This event will be an opportunity to take shadow work seriously as an aspect of your witchcraft. It’s packed with instructions to help you make trackable progress and increase your confidence in the concept of shadow work for healing and awareness. 

For witches with a desire to connect their craft to consciousness and self-knowledge, this event aims to make all the difference. 

You will have the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas, and you will leave with a sense that shadow work is not only possible and effective, but that it’s also more powerful than you ever realised.
