Shadow to Light: The Quest

Phase 2 of Natural Mystic

Background: 

Shadow to Light is the second program of the Certificate course. It has two modules. It is necessary to have completed Living Soul before commencing the Shadow to Light program. 

Purpose:

The heroic journey is considered by many to be the most worthwhile focus and value of life. Shadow to Light: The Quest explores your soul's quest into and from 'the fruitful darkness' to access and return with the potential gifts and treasures of the less conscious and less lived aspects (shadow) within your Self. This program builds awareness of your life purpose and how to best enact this journey through relating with the four core patterns of development (archetypes) - hero / heroine, warrior, shaman, lover.

Description: 

The journey to wholeness is sometimes referred to as a transformational path from shadow to light. Living Soul introduced you to discovering your own ways of being soulful in your life. It described soulfulness as an alive way of being that includes Self-care, Self-worth and Self-Love, living in your truth, joy and integrity. In Shadow to Light we continue to affirm these positive ways of being. We particularly extend this soul care now to nourishing the less resolved areas of your Self and your life. We do this by continuing to build some of the skills we have already introduced whilst discovering more about your inner heroine / hero, the sacred warrior, the shaman / priestess (magician), and the lover within. This helps you to maintain a strong and authentic bond with the reality, power, magic and mystery of living more from your heart and soul.

Shadow to Light explores an experiential edge or interface within the Self where the psyche, on one hand, seeks wholeness (e.g. through being nourished by nature, soul and spirit), whilst on the other, seeks to maintain patterns that may restrict evolutionary growth into joyful living and belonging (e.g. by repeating harmful experiences and even internally amplifying this disposition within the Self). The three modules progressively develop several key skills and methods as powerful forms of soulful inner work. These can be applied to enhance 'the positives' that are already being experienced and also help you resolve this kind of deeper impasse that is common, if not universal.
