Somatic Shadow and Circle Work Facilitator Training

What is Somatic Shadow & Circle Work?

We all long to be seen, belong, loved, felt, and accepted, yet since we were young, we received messages that in order to be loved and accepted, we must act and behave in a certain way. These messages come from family, culture, religion, media, and personal and collective trauma.

This programming ends up repressing aspects of ourselves that are intrinsic to our sense of self on some of the most core and fundamental levels of our being. When we repress parts of ourselves, they end up residing in our shadow.

The shadow is the unconscious. It is where our hidden, exiled, rejected & orphaned parts of ourself live. Because the shadow is unconscious we don’t know they are there. Shadow work is a process of revealing our shadow, and safely learning how to re-integrate it back into our conscious awareness.

Somatic Shadow & Circle Work is a powerful approach to personal growth that integrates the body, nervous system, trauma, mind, and soul. It explores exiled parts of self and helps individuals safely feel the suppressed emotions and sensations that surround the core beliefs holding them back from leading fulfilling, connected, free, and authentic lives.

When we feel safe enough to turn toward our shadows, we have the potential to release long-lasting trauma and the emotional, somatic, and psychological bound energy stored in our body/mind. This powerful process work allows us to courageously step into a more authentic, empowered version of ourselves.

Through this body-oriented, trauma-aware approach, you will gain new skills and profound insights into the necessity and importance of shadow work, nervous system health, trauma awareness, circle work, somatic coaching and how to work with group dynamics as an agent for personal and collective healing and transformation.

As a trained Somatic Shadow & Circle Work Facilitator, you will help people navigate deep personal and collective challenges while incorporating the body and nervous system for an integrative and long-lasting approach to awakening and integration. This approach not only heals individuals but also creates a ripple effect of growth and positive change within their community.
