Honoring the Shadow with Kate Greer Dickson

There is more than one quote about the shadow leading us to the light, however the shadow also contains a light side. Untapped reserves, strength, and wisdom also reside in our unconscious, and in our physical bodies. Please join us for an exploration of tapping into inner light through chanting, an introductory practice of Shadow Yoga, and a somatic meditation exploring the shadow.

Shadow Yoga is a school of Hatha Yoga which emphasizes freeing stagnation in the body, and therefore on multiple levels, to improve circulation of energy. In style, it may resemble other eastern practices, such as Qi Gong, more than the way Yoga is practiced popularly in the west. Kate will offer some simple and gentle introductory movements, as well as some more fiery ones, which can be taken at a level appropriate for you.

Kate’s background in depth psychology, in the tradition of Carl G. Jung, as well as her scholarly writing have included Shadow work and considering that the unconscious holds not only our greatest saboteurs, but perhaps our heroes as well. In addition, Kate’s background as a practitioner and scholar of Buddhism, gives a different perspective on working with the shadow, namely approaching any obstructions or self destructive patterns with unconditional love.
