Shadow Work events

Before considering registration, we strongly recommend attending a Somatic Resilience Workshop.

Archetypal Voice Dialogue Workshops 2024/25

These interactive online group workshops are a form of shadow work that brings greater self knowledge, personal agency & wholeness within the Self.

It sees us embody 12 archetypal sub personalities within the psyche - which are always here - and get to know them from their perspective, giving them their voice. These are aspects of the Self that often remain unrecognised and unappreciated, even though they perform great service for us.

It’s also an incredible opportunity to directly experience our uncreated, boundless and spiritual self so that we can simply recognise it at any time & any place.

In voice dialogue we give voice to the archetypal sub personality as if we are them, instead of talking about them or relating with them as in other modalities. The results are surprising and incredibly direct, instant & revelatory.

Crucially, having brought these aspects into consciousness and embodied them, we come to know that they are simply doing their job and cannot be discarded, fixed or changed. This fundamental insight helps free us from the self-centredness fuelling neuroticism and disordered emotions and brings appreciation and gratitude.

Without form these unconscious energies manifest in bewilderingly chaotic and overwhelming ways without recourse of interaction or dialogue. Their moods - the feeling tones around the ‘complexes’ often rule our lives and are at times as Robert Johnson succinctly put it “Like wrestling a fog bank.” In bringing form and embodiment to these archetypal energies in dialogue with each subpersonality we bring the potential of relationship & harmonisation to occur.

By feeling into each aspect and giving each a voice within the container of a training environment we are then able to recognise them within our daily life, giving a route to greater integration & wholeness.

In each group seminar style workshop we walk through the labyrinth of our own psyche, directly accessing it’s structural aspects that we also share with others. Whilst it is challenging as we face uncomfortable truths and feelings, it is also incredibly humorous at times.

“The images of the unconscious place a great responsibility upon a man. Failure to understand them, or a shirking of ethical responsibility, deprives him of his wholeness and imposes a painful fragmentariness on his life.”
