The Leader Training

Practical skills and know-how for running a Shadow Work group session

The Leader Training teaches you how to hold a container for a group of people doing Shadow Work. On a practical level, it teaches you how to run a Shadow Work seminar, from registering participants to ending the workshop.

As a facilitator, it teaches you how to use the principles behind the Shadow Work Identity Wound processes in conversation: how to talk Tombstone, talk Predator, talk God-Split, and talk Good Guy-Bad Guy. On a personal level, it gives you a command of the emotional “circuitry” underlying these processes.

The purpose of the Leader Training is to prepare you to lead Shadow Work groups. At this training, you will learn:

  • How to set a safe and effective container for group Shadow Work
  • How to present information about group Shadow Work in a way that creates safety and trust in your participants
  • Group dynamics as they apply to a personal work seminar
  • How to inspire and evoke emotion with visualisations
  • How to help people get in touch with the archetypal energies through the group exercises
  • How to empathise with other people’s pain and hold their wounded behaviour
  • How to negotiate financial matters, and other boundaries, with people who have wounds around money and boundaries
  • Conflict resolution skills
  • How to protect yourself from attacks against your ability to stay in control of the group and facilitate
  • How to protect the participants from one another
  • Techniques for defending the container from “container-busting” acts by a wounded participant, without wounding that participant
  • How to use the principles behind the Shadow Work® Identity Wound processes in conversation: how to talk Tombstone, talk Predator, talk God-Split, and talk Good Guy-Bad Guy
  • How to use music in a Shadow Work seminar
