The experience
ShadowToGold is a personal growth process based on Jungian philosophy, Gestalt, constellation work, and psychodramatic techniques combined with essential parts of the book Futuring by Stefan Hermann. It promises to bring your hidden powers out of the shadow and into the light.
Within us, we all have those archetypal powers of Queen/King, Lover, Amazon/Warrior, and Crone/Magician. However, in the process of socialization we learned to hide the parts of ourselves that were hurt in the past, in order to avoid getting hurt once again.
In ShadowToGold, we explore the inner landscape and discover the gifts available in our shadows. It is a way to become who we really are more and more, and to learn how to live more fully. ShadowToGold is especially devoted to providing a setting that allows us to explore and evolve safely, with choice and without pressure.
