If you know that you were meant to live more fully and are ready to embark on your heroine's journey, Shadow and Substance is for you!
What is Shadow and Substance?Shadow and Substance is an exploration of the things within us that are unresolved and unclaimed. That which is unresolved may be driving our actions more than we realize, bypassing our conscious choice and keeping us from living from our strengths. That which is unclaimed is power lying dormant within us. When we create space for awareness and allow both healing and celebration to occur, we have laid a foundation for living from a more grounded place, with greater clarity and freedom. This program seeks to provide you with tools for your healing through a three step process of narrative archaeology, emotional alchemy, and gathering of provisions.
|
Narrative ArchaeologyNarrative Archaeology involves the unearthing of our unconscious or untold stories. Stories of our deepest truths that we have buried in our hearts for so long. Stories that we have constructed in order to make sense of our lives and unknowingly overlay on everything we experience. We bring the stories to the surface, first so we can own them. No more hiding from, denying, or being weighed down by our untold narratives. But we also dust them off and take a good look at them. Are these stories serving you? Do these stories contain important information? What do these stories tell us about what our hearts are needing?
|
Emotional AlchemyEmotional Alchemy is a process of transforming our pain into power. We will learn how to become aware of unresolved anger, grief, and shame contained within our story. We will learn how to make compassionate space to allow ourselves to move through these emotions. We will discover great freedom in being with what is. We will build our capacity to sit with our shadow material and bring it to light. We will gather alchemical tools like altar building, inner child work, guided visualizations, body-based awareness, journaling and inquiry to aid us in transformation.

Gathering of ProvisionsGathering of Provisions is where you get to play detective with your story. Through your experiences, the creator has gifted you with blessings, skills, and struggles (all of which are your provisions). Each and every one of those gifts were designed to flavor your essence and point you in the direction of your greater purpose on this earth. We will identify what those gifts are by cataloguing the miracles, celebrations, and angels in your life. We will give thanks for the blessings and then turn our attention to the struggles. Struggle often leads us to adopting limiting beliefs which we will dissect to uncover your core values and life’s work.

How Does It Work?

Testimonial
Susan is a masterful guide who facilitates your journey to engage in a deep and powerful transformation. She possesses exceptional insight and sensitivity which honors you on a personal and spiritual level. She gently challenges you to grow, not by telling you what to do, but by objectively reflecting back to you the situation without judgement. This allows for an honest and grounded perspective to open up to other possibilities. She creates a safe place imbued with trust and compassion, which fosters the collaboration of courage and vulnerability in approaching your work together. She has supported me to enrich, expand and deepen my sense of self. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Susan for the positive, lasting impact she and her coaching have had on my life.
