In this online immersion and independent study program, you will learn and practice shadow work using ancient Buddhist meditation techniques. In each workshop and at home, you will practice awareness exercises that will help bring the shadow into the light of your consciousness. The unique meditation technique used in this program will also help stabilize your mind, develop mental strength and clarity, and cultivate a kind and loving approach toward yourself.
