What is meant by the concept of the Shadow?

• How does the Shadow show up in personal, psychological life?
• How does the Shadow manifest collectively in social settings?
• How does one gain a greater awareness of the personal and the collective Shadow?

Please bring a pen and journal for these exercises.
