Dancing with Your Shadow Self
Have psychedelics forced you to examine hidden parts of yourself on psychedelics? Maybe you entheogens helped you come to grips with your less desirable traits? Or maybe you are scared to trip because of the shadow you might see?
Join Us On:
Jun 20, 2024, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM CDT
via Zoom
About the Event
Carl Yung separated our consciousness into two parts: the conscious and the unconscious. The conscious mind is the ego while he coined the unconscious part of our psyche the shadow. This shadow is the unintegrated parts of us we want to deny or reject but that we actually need - like anger, or sadness.
When we are able to recognise and face our shadow, we can shift our relationship with them. The shadow can give us gifts. For example, anger can allow us to enforce boundaries.
Join us as we look closely at our shadow selves and see how psychedelics can reveal what our ego has walled off from our perceptions. Come to this transformative and cathartic integration circle for a chance to dance with your shadow self.
*Due to the sensitive nature of integration circles, NO RECORDING is available.
**Please try to be on time as you may not be able to get in after our icebreaker because we are busy or we are waiting until a sensetive share is over.
Integration Circle Rules
After our ICE-BREAKER, we will open up the circle 1st to people who would like to integrate a specific experience. Shares are given up to 5 min. We will then ask if the person would like to receive reflections. If desired, we will open the floor for 2-3 reflections. At that point we will then move to the next share.
If no one feels called to share a personal experience we will open the circle to questions and general conversations. Please limit shared times to allow responses.
We are also going to ask everyone to:
- Speak from personal perspective
- No Advice Giving. Use 'I' statements.
- Bring an open mind
- Confidentiality “what happens in Zoom, stays in Zoom”
- No Recording of ANY kind
- Silence all electronic devices
- Avoid distractive behavior: eating, multitasking, driving
- Mute mic when not talking
- avoid crosstalk
- Participation! We request that everyone participates on some level. That can look like: just turning on your camera, or participating in the check in verbally or via the chat. This is for the comfort of the group and everyone who is showing up and sharing vulnerably.
- No Solicitation of Substances or Promotion of Retreats (see disclaimer) please avoid naming specific guides or retreats
- No showing stash picks or substances on camera
