Shadow Play: Disco with your Darkness

Shadow work becomes shadow play in this transformative evening workshop. Through guided visualisation, theatrical charcoals, playful rituals, and candlelit group sharing, you will alchemise negative thought patterns into powerful insights, build a deeper self-awareness, and - under the guidance of an award-winning children’s author and screenwriter - practice transforming your shadow self into a ‘shadow elf’ character to playfully reframe your inner critic. This workshop promises a mix of serious self-discovery and light-hearted communal support, all culminating in a powerful release ritual for some playful integration. This workshop will be facilitated by transpersonal creative therapist, Naomi Anderlini, and children’s author and screenwriter Charlotte Rose Hamlyn.

• Fuel your creativity, diving into flow state and letting it guide everything you do, from making art to living your daily life.
• Embrace your shadow, accepting and understanding the hidden and repressed parts of yourself to reduce their control over you, and allow yourself to thrive.
• Create a deeper connection with yourself, and others - experiencing the priceless value of true intimacy to build genuine, profound relationships.
• Live authentically, peel back some masked layers, freeing yourself from the burden of inauthenticity, so you can focus your energy on what truly matters, inspiring others to do the same.
