Meet and network with other like-minded professionals at the inaugural Shadow & Soul Summit as we guide you on a transformative journey rooted in creative self-expression. This continuing education opportunity invites healers and caring professionals to engage in over two full days of powerful hands-on workshops and thought-provoking discussions led by prominent mental health specialists. Immersive arts-based experiences designed to foster deep personal exploration will be highlighted.

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 even 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.

Clinicians seeking continuing education credits, as well as other interested professionals, are encouraged to join this growth gathering to discover how using the expressive arts can provide a safe and transformative space for exploring one's inner world, and "super-charge" personal transformation. No artistic talent or previous expressive therapies experience is required. All are welcome!
