Mindfulness In Depth: Healing Our Shadow
With Charles J. Morris, Ph.D.In this 10-day course, you will learn about the shadow, as conceived in the depth psychological tradition of Carl Jung, and how it can work hand-in-hand with a mindfulness practice to help to uncover and integrate psychological complexes. Through working with your complexes, you will disrupt lifelong patterns that cause self-harm and damage to your relationships. You will become less susceptible to unconscious forces, find new sources of energy and meaning, and the secrets to your deepest transformation. The course includes in-depth theory sourced from many scholars to help you build a precise and qualified understanding of shadow, with topics that include complexes, projection, emotional regulation, self-awareness, the golden shadow, archetypes, and personification. The course also weaves in philosophy and practices from Tibetan Buddhism to help expand the concepts. Each concept is made practical with journaling prompts for each lesson and recommendations for core mindfulness practices to accompany the learning. There are also three new guided meditations made specifically to accompany this course as Premium tracks that will help you to put the learning into practice.
Learn how shadow work and mindfulness intersect for practical approaches to uncover and integrate psychological complexes which cause you stress, sap your energy, and create disharmony in your relationships.
