SnakeSkin
a shadow work course for spiritual women
ABOUT THE OFFERING
Disclaimer: Shadow Work isn’t for the faint of heart.
Using a combination of psychoeducational classes, collective journeys and a personal introspective practice, this program will guide you through the transformative spiritual and psychological process known as Shadow Work.
Shadow Work is an opportunity to truly face yourself. It is a process of greeting those internal parts of identity that evoke feelings of shame, guilt, anger and resentment and saying, “I see you. I honor you. I bring you with me.”
This is not something that can be done with a deck of cards or a smudge stick. Shadow Work is internal, subconscious reprogramming: a decolonial process of awareness, reflection and action. When we are able to face our Shadows, we can draw immeasurable power from our pain. . . the kind of power that can make our work more meaningful and put us at ease.
For those women who understand the destructive legacy of White Supremacy, Patriarchy and Capitalism on marginalized communities, Shadow Work just might be the intergenerational healing that offers your ancestors and your legacy some much needed emotional and spiritual rest.

“Shadow work is the way to illumination. When we become aware of all that is buried within us, that which is lurking beneath the surface no longer has power over us.”
Aletheia Luna

“To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light. Once one has experienced a few times what it is like to stand judgingly between the opposites, one begins to understand what is meant by the self.”
-Carl Gustav Jung

All classes will be held virtually via Zoom. Please see the section above called PROGRAM DATES for class dates.
-
Nothing is ever truly mandatory. However, if you want to get the most of the program it is highly recommended that you attend all sessions as scheduled.
In the PROGRAM DATES section, you will find a list of dates for each program session.
The lecture portion of each class will be recorded and a copy of the slides will be sent to the group. Journey and moon circle sessions will not be recorded.
-
Journeys are guided imagery sessions where I take you into your subconscious to uncover memories, soul parts and past lives. This is the sacred element of Shadow Work that is different from Light Work: you are working on your on wounds with your own medicine.
Psychoeducational classes are lecture style presentations on clinical and psychological theory. These sessions offer an academic, research and literature based context to the experiential application of Shadow Work.
-
Yes. While this program can be considered professional development for working professionals and entrepreneurs, it is also a good opportunity for those who have a personal spiritual practice and are looking for new ways to deepen their exploration of self.
However, this program is NOT a beginners program. Shadow Work is recommended for those who have a functioning ego that can distinguish between reality and fantasy, a set of of coping strategies for self soothing and an introspective practice to support your own personal processing outside of sessions.
This program would be an excellent fit for anyone who is already in therapy because it can bring up uncomfortable emotions that you can then take back to your therapy sessions.
-
No, this program is for professional and personal development. While we may work through issues from your past, we will not be addressing specific mental health symptoms and I will not be working in the capacity of a mental health professional. If you are seeking therapy, please visit my other website: www.funiestasmft.com an send me a message through that platform.

When we commit to our Shadow Work, we are allowing space for our true authentic selves to shine. Repressing our darkness also represses our strengths. When a light is shined on our Shadows, we bring forth those strengths and can become more confident, self assured and relaxed because we no longer have to waste energy hiding who we are.
Shadow Work teaches us how to show compassion for ourselves thus helping us to be more compassionate with the other people in our lives as well.
Hello, my name is Lauren but I like it when you call me “Manang.” It means older sis/cousin in Ilokano. I call myself a Shadow Worker because I’ve been through some heavy shit.
In the last few years of this life, and in lifetimes before, I’ve experienced relationship betrayal, the sudden death of loved ones, cultural uprooting, substance abuse, unexpected medical illness and sexual assault. Sometimes I wonder how I am still alive.
I’ve been to that dark place where I thought the world would be better off without me. I’ve been prescribed medications, been called “crazy” and have felt so misunderstood throughout my life. Between the years of 2010 till now I have been searching for the lost pieces of my soul through travel, studying to be a therapist, writing poetry & journaling, shamanic journeying, community organizing, cutting people off, meeting new people, working out, eating right, dancing, taking plant medicine, sitting in women’s circles . . . I tried everything I could to find peace within the chaos of my broken heart, broken body and broken mind.
It wasn’t until I learned how to meditate and spent a good amount of time looking in the mirror (literally) and really sitting with my Shadows did the peace come. And it didn’t come because the pain went away. Instead, learning how to greet my Shadows and integrate them gave the pain a purpose. I could finally move forward with my chin up.
The peace comes and goes. At this point, I am grateful that it comes at all.
Do you know why snakes shed their skin? One reason is so that they can release any parasites that might have grown on their old skin. The other reason is simply because they’ve outgrown themselves and NOT shedding makes them uncomfortable. The only way for snakes to feel more at ease in their bodies is to shed their skin periodically and to allow a new Snake to surface.
I want that for you, too. So hit the button, let’s rid ourselves of parasites, get more comfortable and shed some Snake Skin together.
