The inaugural Shadow & Soul Summit was held in-person, October 5 - 7, 2025, providing a continuing education opportunity that invited healers and caring professionals to engage in two full days of powerful hands-on workshops and thought-provoking discussions led by prominent mental health specialists. Immersive arts-based experiences will foster deep personal exploration. We are excited to announce that this program has now been modified to be offered as an online program. Join from anywhere!

The concept of Shadow, introduced a century ago by psychologist Carl Jung, refers to the hidden, often suppressed, aspects of our psyche — the parts of ourselves we may have neglected, feared, or rejected. Contemporary Shadow work using the expressive arts incorporates art making, creative writing, embodied practices, and other creative disciplines. It is designed to provide healers and seekers alike with a variety of potent tools for accessing those aspects of Self deemed to be unacceptable. Once identified, understood, and befriended, we are free to incorporate and celebrate these formerly disowned parts. Participating in this process within a mindful community typically leads to enhanced healing and resiliency, cultivating Soul and enlivening the Spirit.

All are welcome!
No artistic talent or previous expressive therapies experience is required.
