The Soulcraft Intensive - Sweet Darkness Advanced Intensive
Bill Plotkin

During this intensive we are going to do some SHADOW WORK. We know, however, that so much of our wholeness is hidden in that bag; the energy there is unavailable to us until we assimilate elements of the Shadow. And then there's the LOYAL SOLDIER, the sub-personality that has been keeping us "safe" since early childhood by making us small as it shovels big chunks of our wholeness into that black bag so that we will appear acceptable to the powers that be. And, we are going to have to revisit our SACRED WOUNDS - our core vulnerabilities - that have kept us stuck in the Old Story, but that also provides the priceless opportunity to remythologize our lives. In short, we are going to have to enter the Sweet Darkness.
