What is our personal Shadow? How may we come to know that which is by definition unconscious within us? A series of exercises and questions will help provide greater self-awareness. Our learning objectives will be to explore:

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.
