Event description

The Shadow is a hidden being inside each of us whom we try to ignore because it embodies our vulnerabilities, flaws, weaknesses, and inferiorities. But denying the Shadow pits us against ourselves and prevents us from realizing our potential.

Join us at the Ojai Retreat for an intimate and deep exploration of the stranger within. As you develop a relationship with your Shadow, you will build true confidence, expand your capacity for intimacy, and gain the ability to express yourself with an authenticity you never thought possible.You will walk away with a steadfast ally for creating the life you truly desire.

If you have been to our workshop before, please do not hesitate to join us again. We will be changing the format a bit and using the beautiful landscape that the Ojai Retreat provides. We hope to see you there whether you are new to shadow work or advanced, it will be a weekend to dive deep!

This workshop is currently limited to 75 people - so don't wait too long to register :)

The ticket for this event includes light breakfast/snacks and a group lunch on Friday. We hope to see you there!

If you book a room at the Ojai retreat we will reach out to you directly for payment. If we do not hear back from you within 3 days we will release the room to someone else.
