“Integrating the Shadow” - Episode 4 in the series, "Christian Shadow Work"

In this fourth episode of our series, the conversation goes deeper into what is asked of us when we take up a practice of working with our shadow nature in relation to Christ Jesus. Beginning with finding the strength to look at the limits of our capacity to love and culminating in our turning to someone greater than ourselves for assistance—activities which can unfold and be circled back to over great spans of time—bring us to a profound alchemical moment. We can realize: Our darkness has led us to a moment in which we can meet Christ in a most intimate and sacred exchange of medicine and healing. At the “place” of our weakness we can erect an altar, a place where we can pray and meet the One who transforms our darkness into light.Support the showMany thanks to Camilla Lake for show notes and Podcast/Patreon production and communications.
