Shadow
Exploration
Reflection, Expression, Imagination and Integration
with Jungian Analysts
Elisabeth Pomès and David Pressault, IAAP
TUESDAYS • SEP. 19, 26 & OCT. 3, 2023
Join Jungian analysts Elisabeth Pomès and David Pressault for an immersive exploration into your shadow. Through self-reflection, journaling and inner inquiry, we will seek out this elusive part of ourselves.
In session one, we will look briefly at Jung’s theory of the shadow and at how the unconscious operates inside of us. We will observe and examine our personal conscious point of view as well as consider our persona, family values and ways in which we have unconsciously adapted. We will consider what we dislike, detest, even hate: what we do not allow in ourselves and not permit in others. In session two, we will consider the way the shadow appears in dreams and look for ways to recognize its themes. Session three will focus on the propitious attitude to the shadow and ask an essential question: is it possible to integrate our shadow?
In each workshop participants will do imaginative and embodied explorations to give voice to shadow material that might be coming up. Required materials: journal
