Solstice invites us to turn inward and enter the depths of
the self. It marks the longest night and the darkest night - a
perfect opportunity to explore shadow work. 🌌
At its core, Shadow Work involves exploring those parts of
ourselves that exist beyond our awareness but are very much at
play. They are often the lost or repressed parts of ourselves due
to personal trauma or cultural conditioning or shame. But the
shadow also plays out at a collective level - revealing the many
wounds we have neglected to confront and heal that are
manifesting themselves through war, oppression, erasure and
exploitation.
Exploring the shadow is tender and difficult work because it
exposes the lies we have been told, the lies we bought into and
the lies we remain attached to. Here’s what Laura Matsue says
about why unlearning is so messy:
“The reason why it’s so hard to wake people up to topics they’ve
been lied to about is because they will have to see how one lie
is merely a thread that leads to a whole web of lies. You have to
be ready to dismantle many of the things you have been told about
reality to untangle yourself from this web. Most people cannot
psychologically handle this level of disillusionment.”
Let the shadow take center stage this solstice. Create the
conditions for deep listening by slowing down, getting what you
need and letting the darkness in. We cannot heal what we do not
face. Let this solstice begin a portal for radical reflection and
deep healing that takes you into the new year with focus and
endurance.

Excavating the shadow to expose the truth and wisdom of our
lived experience is a focus of our upcoming EMERGE New Year's
home retreat ( [link removed] ).
Through embodied practice, daily journaling, visioning exercises,
community support and more, we will unpack who we are and how we
got here so that we can reveal the right path forward.
Over the 5 days of this home retreat, you will wake up each
morning to an EMERGE toolkit featuring the following:
* Embodied practice
* Provocative journaling questions
* Tools for visioning and transformation
* Inspiration for reflection/imagination
Then each day we will meet up around the world on zoom for an
embodied coaching session to support one another in confronting
whatever is in the way and stretching into our highest
potential.
