Lesson 1: Identifying the Shadow

This lesson introduces what the shadow is and how it shows up in everyday life. You will begin noticing emotional reactions, patterns, and behaviours that point to parts of yourself operating outside conscious awareness.

Lesson 2: Understanding Shadow Work

This lesson explains what shadow work is and why it matters. You will learn how shadow patterns form, what they are designed to protect, and why integration is more effective than fixing or suppressing parts of yourself.

Lesson 3: The Role of the Shadow in Our Lives

This lesson explores how the shadow influences relationships, decision making, and self leadership. You will see how unconscious patterns shape behaviour and why bringing them into awareness creates choice and change.

Lesson 1: What Are Shadow Archetypes?

This lesson introduces shadow archetypes as recurring patterns of behaviour and defence. You will learn how archetypes help identify patterns without turning them into fixed identities or labels.

Lesson 2: How Archetypes Show Up in Relationships

This lesson explores how shadow archetypes emerge in relationships, especially during conflict, intimacy, and emotional exposure. You will learn why relationships reveal patterns more clearly than solo reflection.

Lesson 3: Nervous System Regulation and Shadow Patterns

This lesson explains how the nervous system influences shadow reactions. You will learn what regulation means, why it matters, and how staying present under pressure creates choice instead of automatic response.

Lesson 4: Tracking and Awareness Practice

This lesson introduces simple tracking practices to build real time awareness. You will learn how to notice sensations, emotions, and impulses before patterns take over, creating the foundation for embodied work.

Lesson 1: Living with Your Shadow

This lesson explores what it means to live with your shadow consciously. You will learn how to stay in relationship with difficult emotions and patterns without suppressing or acting them out, creating greater stability and self leadership.

Lesson 2: Continuing Your Shadow Work Journey

This lesson supports integration beyond the course. You will learn how to continue practising awareness, regulation, and embodiment so shadow work becomes a sustainable part of daily life rather than a one off process.

No.

You don’t need:

• Previous men’s circles

• Therapy experience

• Psychological knowledge

You do need:

• Willingness to engage

• Curiosity about your inner world

• Capacity to be in respectful relationship with other men

Both first-timers and experienced men benefit equally.

Because your blind spots don’t live in isolation.

Much of the shadow only appears:

• In relationship

• Under pressure

• When you’re seen by others

Other men provide mirrors, edges, and reflections that no solo practice can offer.
The group is the work.

Yes.

The container is:

• Confidential

• Boundaried

• Facilitated with clarity and care

What’s shared in the group stays in the group.
Safety comes from structure, not avoidance of depth.

Each live session includes:

• Teaching on shadow work and masculine psychology

• Guided embodied practices

• Relational exercises in the group

• Space for reflection, integration, and feedback

This is not passive listening.
It is participatory and experiential.

That’s part of the work.

Emotions are:

• Welcomed

• Regulated

• Integrated through the body and relationship

You won’t be left alone with intensity.
Containment is a core part of the facilitation.

Yes.

Many men find this work complements therapy, offering:

• Live relational feedback

• Embodied integration

• Male-to-male witnessing

If you have specific concerns, use discernment and self-responsibility.

You’ll leave with:

• Tools you can continue using

• Greater self-awareness and regulation

• A clearer sense of how your shadow operates

• Experience of doing deep work with other men

There is no pressure to continue into anything else.
