We give away so much of ourselves to please the world, over time we become who we aren't. We hide our light and lose our spark. Golden shadow retreats are a safe container of simple, unvarnished experiences to promote your growth. Healing is growth...new perspectives and connections in every sense.

 

The retreats give us the time to explore, dream & connect​ with like minded souls; To tune into to earlier versions of ourselves, the pieces we have ignored, repressed, denied or numbed, the 'ourlawed' parts of ourselves; Time for solitude to process and integrate; Time to unearth the pure gold buried in our shadow.

 

This is how we reconnect to our vital energy and what lights us up. Golden shadow retreats are especially for you if you:​

+ feel stuck or without direction​

+ want to rediscover meaning in your life

+ are ready to move beyond diagnoses entrenched in personality, duty, perfectionishm, attachment, or neurodivergence.

+ are experiencing a life transition​

"The more I see of deer, the more I admire them as mountaineers. They make their way into the heart of the roughtest solitudes with smooth reserve of srength, through dense belts of brush and forrest encumberred with fallen trees and boulder piles, across canyons, roaring streams and snow-fields, ever showing forth beauty and courage." John Muir
