Pain is something we can all relate to. We have grown socially accustomed to looking for a magic pill to mask it, and all other symptoms of deeper unrest. Yet becoming intimate with pain, but not possessed by it, enables us to feel, sense, and hear the wise teachings held within it. Emotional, physical, mental, sexual, and psychic pain, as well as collective pain carried for Earth during this time of great transition, contains valuable wisdom.Shadow is a term for the discarded within ourselves that informs our lives. It offers the potential to reveal what we previously thought was unsuitable, so unsuitable that we imprisoned it and forgot it. The aim is to know the shadow well, appreciate it, seek to integrate it—not leave it neglected to rot in a cell beneath the surface, where it is inevitably clanging its tin cup against the bars asking for acknowledgement and honoring—to make a place for it as part of your life story, but not let it be the operating manual.In this book, we'll explore:The keys to working with your shadowsHow to engage your shadow to heal generational patternsThe acts of liberation for individuals and all members of society and cultureWhat it would look like to break the repetitive loop of sufferingLanguage prompts to help navigate the shadowsShadow work is one of many keys to breaking the cycles of suffering. It prioritizes healing and offers empathy for one another.

Review

I read this brilliant book in one sitting, hand cramped from the notes I knew right away that I needed to take. Part road map, part manual, I stood up from my seat a completely different person, much to my fiercely protective shadow's chagrin. Pixie writes that soul work flourishes in safe company and auspiciously provides in these pages an unquestionably safe place to begin the kind of personal healing that will help us stop hurting ourselves, the people we love and the communities we come from due to our own deep and unresolved wounds. --Anne Carmack, screenwriter

"It may be the most important work in our soul's evolution and healing, to walk with courage and clarity the shadow landscapes of our souls. This book serves as a velvety manual guiding us into and through the intimate intricacies of these dark places. Pixie offers both guidance into the depths, as well as tools and the support of a clear container, which can lead us to alchemize the shadows into gold, thus bringing us into growth and greater wholeness." --Marysia Miernowska The Gaia School of Healing & Earth Education, California

This book is for the tired ones, the serious ones, the desperate ones, the hopeful ones tired of running from our own shadows and the monstrous shadows of history and society, serious about doing the gutsy work of personal and collective healing, desperate enough to not flinch at Pixie s hard-hitting and life-giving words, and hopeful enough to follow the pathway out of the shadows and into true freedom, no matter the cost. Practical, imaginative, and deeply personal this book will help you examine the shadows in every crack and crevice of your gorgeous and painful life. What an illuminating gift to us all! --Christena Cleveland, Ph.D., author, activist, and director of the Center for Justice + Renewal
