The inward path of remembering
Beneath the noise, beneath the light,
there is a soil that remembers everything you have ever hidden.
Here, we do not rush to heal what hurts.
We learn to sit beside it—to breathe until it begins to speak.
You will not lose yourself here.
You will meet the parts that have been waiting for you in return.
Shadow Work Course
Shadow Work: Remembering the Forgotten Self
At Gaia Sanctuary 11:11, our Shadow Work course invites you into a brave and compassionate exploration of the hidden aspects of your being — the parts long exiled, feared, or misunderstood. Through guided reflection, sacred tools, and supportive practices, you will learn to integrate these neglected shadows with love and courage, transforming them into sources of wisdom and power. Together, we will walk the path of remembrance, honoring every facet of who you are as essential to your wholeness.
Course Journey Overview
This journey unfolds in four phases—mirroring the turning of the moon:
New Moon - The Doorway of Shadow: Enter the unknown with gentleness; meet what hides without judgement.
First Quarter - The Mirror and the Mask: Learn to see the stories you wear, and the truths behind them.
Full Moon - The Integration of Light: Embrace what was once divided, letting love illuminate the unseen.
Last Quarter - The Gift of Release: Offer what you’ve outgrown to the night, and rest in the wholeness you’ve realized.
You may move through the lessons in rhythm with the moon, or simply in rhythm with your own readiness.
Each return to this space will meet you exactly where you are.
