Course outline

Based upon Charlie's bestselling book Dreaming Through Darkness this retreat explores how to fearlessly embrace our shadow side with compassionate acceptance and step into the power of our fullest potential.

The Shadow is made up of all that we hide from others: our shame, our fears, our psychological wounds, but also our golden potential, our blinding beauty and our hidden talents. It is a huge source of power and creativity but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached.

This retreat offers a set of powerful practices including shamanic mask & mirror work, Jungian inquiry and Tibetan Buddhist meditations in order to transform shame into acceptance and fear into love.

This immersive retreat uses a three-stage structure to Meet, Befriend and Transform the shadow in order to:

•          Transform shame into authenticity

•          Unlock our hidden potential

•          Heal our sexual story

•          Befriend the fear of death

•          Transform our projections

•          Make friends with our Magnificent Messiness

The shadow is a huge source of power and creativity but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached.

Using the “No Mud, No Lotus” approach this retreat will guide you to the gold that lies within your shadow. Highlights of the retreat include:

• Shamanic Mask & Mirror work

• Eye Gazing practice

• Creative Writing Exercises

• Feeding Your Demons Practice

• Daily Dream Circles

To be fully authentic, integrated and awake our shadow side has to be faced and embraced; sooner rather than later. This will give us more energy, more creativity, deeper spiritual growth and a liberating authenticity that allows us to finally be OK with being ourselves.

All are welcome and no previous experience is needed!

Note from Charlie:  Just to be clear, this is not  a lucid dreaming retreat and does not require any lucid dreaming experience (in many ways lucid dreaming is best be learnt after shadow work anyway).
