Shadow Work Seminar
Facilitated by Becky Schupbach and Jeff Baugher
 Shadow Work® invites you to discover parts of yourself you have hidden or denied. By bringing these parts out of shadow in a safe, experiential setting, you can unlock the power of your true self, with all your gifts and strengths - even those you may have unconsciously disowned. During the weekend, we offer a series of visualizations, exercises, and processes designed to allow you to explore the landscapes of your inner life. We believe that you can experience profound healing and transformation through witnessing and supporting the work of other participants as well as through your own work. Cost: $345 Advance registration required. (The seminar is non-residential; you are responsible for your own lodging and food. Snacks and drinks will be provided.) Information: Jeff Baugher at 502-459-4690 or jeff@ArchetypalArts.com
