Shadow Mission Challenge
At the heart of all the work that we do here at the Center for Courageous Wholenes is the belief that we must all both own our light and confront our shadow. We believe that light and shadow always go together, and we must all summon the courage to confront our shadow to begin working skillfully with our wholeness.
If we have not yet confronted our shadow, those dark parts of who we are influence our behavior from beyond our conscious awareness. We also project our unconfronted shadow outwards onto some “other,” and believe that “they” are pure darkness and evil while “we” are pure goodness and light.
Everywhere that we look right now, we see unconfronted shadow tearing apart our communities, threatening our democracy, and endangering our collective future.
Confronting our own shadow is one powerful, personal piece of work that each of us can do to reduce the power of the darkness forces influencing the world today.
It’s an act of inner development that requires courage and a deep commitment to truth.
Are you ready to take the challenge? If so, we’re here to help you understand what this work is about and guide you through the process of owning your light and confronting your shadow.
