Shadow Support Group: Integrating the Shadow into Daily Life (invite only)
Shadow Group: Integrating the Shadow into Daily Life
The concept of the shadow, as developed by Barry Michel's and Phil Stutz, refers to the unconscious parts of our personality that we often deny or suppress. Integrating the shadow involves acknowledging these aspects and consciously incorporating them into our daily lives, leading to greater self-awareness and holistic personal growth.
Occurs Every other week on Thursdays at 5.
Objectives of the Shadow Support Group
Awareness and Acceptance: Encourage participants to recognize and accept their shadow traits without judgment. This is the first step toward integration.
Sharing Experiences: Provide a safe space for individuals to share their experiences and struggles with their shadow aspects.
Practical Tools: Introduce various techniques to identify and work with the shadow. These tools can help participants engage with their shadow more effectively.
Supportive Community: Foster a sense of community and support among members, emphasizing that individuals are not alone in their journey of integration. Peer insights can serve as valuable lessons.
Personal Growth: Encourage members to set personal goals for integrating their shadow traits, promoting a mindset of continuous growth and self-improvement.
Structure of Meetings
Opening: Begin with a grounding exercise to create a safe and supportive atmosphere.
Check-in: Allow each participant to share their current state of being and any experiences related to their shadow since the last meeting.
Focused Discussion: Each meeting will have a specific theme or topic related to shadow work, such as fear, anger, or creativity. Introduce relevant concepts and encourage discussion.
Practical Activity: Engage in a practical activity that aligns with the theme. This could include guided meditations, expressive arts, or group reflections.
Closing: Conclude with a reflection on key takeaways and gratitude sharing, reinforcing the community support.
Conclusion
The Shadow Support Group offers a structured yet flexible environment for individuals seeking to explore and integrate their shadow aspects. By embracing the shadow, participants can achieve greater authenticity, emotional resilience, and a deeper understanding of themselves. This transformative process not only enhances individual lives but also fosters stronger connections
