This is called our "shadow." Some of us think of the shadow as the evil or bad parts of ourselves, parts that we want to be rid of. But to be whole we need to integrate all of our facets and embrace all that we are. For instance, anger is an emotion that, particularly for women, is discouraged by our culture. Yet there is a lot of power and ability in the constructive use of anger. Also, many of us have put our creativity in the black bag; we may have been shamed or found "not good enough" when we were young. And it takes a lot of energy to keep the shadow hidden, like a beach ball that you try to hold under water.Which parts of you have remained in your "shadow"?Through this one and a half day workshop, explore parts of yourself that may be unlived, hidden or repressed through creating art, watching film and discussion.Please forward freely!Marla's website www.marlaestes.comMary's website www.marymarquiss.com
