UMBRA
Meeting the Shadow
“In embracing our shadow, we become whole.”
The shadow contains all that we have rejected, denied, or hidden from ourselves and others. Umbra is the courageous work of turning toward these disowned parts. Rather than fleeing from the shadow, you learn to meet it with curiosity and compassion, discovering that within it lies much of your unlived potential.
