Playing Shadow

Playing Shadow

Inviting unconscious to dance round the fire…

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Californian central coast, under a vast sky, we’re embarking on a journey of rediscovery.

Playing Shadow is a 2-day camping retreat designed to transform shadow work into shadow play.

During our weekend together, we’ll explore our unconscious lives in sincerely silly ways_

Combining creative process with revelatory inquiry; analyzing the atomic, expanding into the cosmic, & making mischief in between.

As we dance with cultural consciousness, we’ll return to our sovereign creature forms who obey no one but natural law.

Integration & agency through mind, body, & soul.

Like the moon, parts of us live in the dark, unseen, influencing how we move through the world.

How do we come to know & love these parts?

Playing Shadow infuses

& creature wisdom

into the process of integrating the shadow.

Come be witnessed & adored among your fellow playmates.
