Meeting the Shadow
Every Trigger Has a Story…
When was the last time you felt triggered by your clients, family members or current events?
You want to reach a higher potential, but you don’t know if you have it in you.
You feel like your past is holding you back.
You feel off-balance. Like you don’t fully know who you are.
There’s an area of your life where you feel stuck, whether it’s a relationship,
career goal, recurring pattern, or something you can’t quite name.
Learn how your stories and beliefs are holding you back
There’s a reason for your negative reaction to the people and events in your life. It has to do with the qualities (both positive and negative) of yourself that you haven’t fully owned. Whether it’s because you don’t want to accept qualities you consider negative or haven’t fully owned the magnificence of your gifts, these shadow aspects are reflected back to you through others.
It highlights the concept of integration.
According to Carl Jung, being fully integrated means that you (the individual) and your collective unconscious are in agreement. When you reach full integration, your psyche allows you to push back on the barriers that limit you from reaching your full potential.
The Shadow work was great. I actually found “me” without the layers of restriction on top. Integration of that “me” will take some time. She is a bright, shiny, smiley, loving person with her arms out trying to give to people if they will accept. I have had several instances of the shiny showing up in different places to remind me. What a gift this class was for me.
Shadow work can help you uncover what’s getting in the way.
That’s why The Ford Institute created Meeting the Shadow. It’s a transformational program that I’ve been certified to facilitate. Through this experience, you’ll:
- Choose an area of your life where you feel stuck
- Recognize the patterns, stories, and beliefs that may be holding you back
- Create new choices for how you respond and move forward
- Make peace with the past and let go of what no longer serves you
- Discover the strengths and gifts you may not recognize in yourself
- Bring more of your unique self into how you move forward
All of this is designed to support you in becoming a more fully expressed version of yourself.
Here’s what some of my past attendees are saying about Meeting the Shadow.
Mindy was able to help me identify at least two significant things from past relationships. I made great strides toward working through them and it is clear to me that they are playing a major role in me continuing to get in my own way. Thank you, Mindy, for making this program available and helping me take steps to move forward! C.L.– North Carolina
I found “Meeting the Shadow” to be profoundly insightful. I had several Ah-ha moments surface during the class, revealing how certain beliefs were directly limiting my potential. Surfacing these beliefs and bringing them into awareness has allowed me to pivot in a direction that is much more productive and fulfilling. If you’re willing to look in places you’d rather not, you’ll find this class rich in self-discovery. M.P. – North Carolina
Meeting the Shadow is your key to a happier, more rewarding life.
This experience is designed to help you face the disowned side of your personality so that you can open yourself up to new possibilities.
During the program, you’ll explore your shadow and story more deeply as you:
- Begin to understand the parts of you that you keep hidden from the world and see how they’re mirrored in almost every aspect of your life.
- Break out of your limiting beliefs and see yourself from another, more powerful perspective.
- Gain the ability to identify your story and the limiting beliefs that it holds.
- Learn how to step outside of that story and reclaim your ability to choose who and what you can be.
- Discover your unique recipe and unveil the secret hidden in your personal drama.
- Gain the support you need to live your best life and deliver your greatest contribution to the world.
Your Shadow is hidden inside you. It’s time to meet it once and for all.
Whether you have big dreams you’ve always wanted to fulfill, or you’re just looking for a more peaceful life. It’s time to address the fears, triggers and limiting beliefs that have been holding you back for years.
Meeting the Shadow is offered as both a weekend for a more focused experience or a 7-week program to allow for time for more reflection and integration. Either way you’ll be on your way to a more integrated and joyful version of yourself. ICF-approved for CCEs!
