Yoav Shavit

In every story there is a hero and a villain, in your story you are both.

The shadow is a formless entity that takes many faces in our lives. We encounter the shadow in the Tarot deck’s Devil card, we see its aspects in Jung’s archetypes, we find it in our failures and conflicts, in ancient traditions and in pop culture. The shadow is an integral part of the light.

Shadow work is the process that takes place when we start acknowledging the areas in our lives where light does not take place, when we get to know the darker parts of our existence.

Uncovering the shadow is always a complicated process because it reveals issues that are usually not accessible to us, it often makes us doubt who we are and what we believe in. While uncovering the shadow we learn how to cultivate self-awareness and how to practice radical honesty.

However, once we acknowledge and accept our shadow, we gain another piece of ourselves on our way to being whole. By integrating the shadow we enhance our empathy, compassion and curiosity and reach closer to spiritual maturity – a healthy balance between the present and the higher self.

This talk reviews various appearances of the shadow in our lives and presents several approaches to dealing with our shadow in spiritual aspects alongside intellectual and behavioral ones.
