Shadow Play

A Deep-Dive into our Forgotten Selves…

What do you fear because it is too beautiful, too bold?… What dreams have you tucked into the “shadow-pockets” of your soul?… In a safe circle, trusting our bodies’ wisdom, let us touch the tender places ~ our fears, vulnerabilities, shame, sadness, longing… And let us play in the places that can at times be overwhelming ~ our anger, discontent, aversions, resentments and confusion. Using the expressive practices of Authentic Movement, trance dance, ceremony, vocal soul-sounding, and vital truth-telling, we will dance our shadow-selves into wholeness. Yes, we may dance wild and ugly, rearing our monster heads at the forces that would try to tame us. But most of all, we’ll reclaim and normalize the shadow pieces we’ve hidden, allowing our vitality and creativity to be unburdened of the deadening influences of dissociation and repression. For under our shadow is a deeper mystery, the place from where our soul comes to guide us into grace, wisdom, inspiration, contentment, and true joy…

Shadow Play is a 4-5 hour embodied adventure. Participants move at the pace that is true to them, and share to the extent they feel comfortable.
