Welcome to the Light Dark Institute
In life it can be easy to favor certain aspects of ourselves and the world around us, while we feel the need to push away others. No matter how much work we have done on ourselves or how much we believe in the inherent goodness of everything, there are still those things lurking deep down in the shadows, for which we find it so hard to find approval.
As long as we have shame or disapproval for certain things in ourselves and the world around us, the level of freedom and fulfillment we crave can remain elusive. Societal shame and fear of causing harm or looking bad keep us playing small, and fear of danger outside of us keeps us from fully connecting with the world around us.
To access full approval for ourselves and the world around us, and thereby step into our full power, vulnerability, intimacy, and freedom, it is necessary to touch the darker places inside of ourselves. It can be terrifying to explore these aspects of ourselves when we have childhood traumas and a lifetime of societal conditioning telling us it’s not safe to let these parts be seen. At the Light Dark Institute we create safe spaces for people to explore their shadow sides and tap into the raw force of their personal power and their own deepest potential, so they can transform their own lives and the world around them.
“This work is about waking up to fully embrace the truth of all of who we are, celebrating and loving the parts we have disapproval for and hide. It’s transformative and liberating on level 10. ”
“The Light Dark Institute offers some of the most powerful personal transformation work out in the world right now. . . I’ve never felt more seen or more held in all my parts.”
