About the Light Dark Institute
The Light Dark Institute is dedicated to bringing more love to our world through helping people fall in love with the things they have most been rejecting, both in themselves and in the world.
We work with thought leaders, conscious communities, and anyone who has a burning desire to know themselves fully with nothing held back. Our work teaches people to engage the darker, unknown aspects of themselves and their world with play and curiosity, so that they can step into a life of living, loving and leading with full power, full surrender, and profound connection with all that is.
About the Founders
Tani Thole & Leslie Rogers
Tani Thole and Leslie Rogers have dedicated their lives to the study and exploration of the human psyche and its relationship with existence, through spirituality, psychology, personal development, sexuality, embodiment, and deep relationship with the natural world. They founded the Light Dark Institute out of a passion for sharing the ways that exploring our dark sides can radically awaken and liberate us from the old patterns that have held us back and kept us in judgment of ourselves and the world around us. Their teachings support leaders and changemakers to deepen their capacity to lead from love in our evolving world, with hearts courageously open to embracing what is.
Our Facilitators
Beth Mongold
Beth’s journey into intimacy and shadow work began through the portals of voice, energy medicine, and the erotic body. A longtime yoga and meditation teacher with a deep background in the healing and performing arts, she learned early how to hold space for what’s raw, tender, and transformational. She brings her fierce empathy and depth of presence to the Light Dark Experience—guided shadow work for individuals and couples exploring power, surrender, and the parts of themselves they’ve long kept hidden. In her Denver-based private practice, Beth works with clients who are ready to reclaim desire and live more erotically attuned lives. Her work is rooted in presence, play, and permission, with devotion to the wild, the sacred, and the unapologetically real.
Kim Han
Kim’s path began in Argentine Tango, where nearly a decade of performing and teaching around the world taught her to listen with her whole body to the unspoken dialogue between movement and emotion. That embodied listening is at the heart of how she facilitates, attuning to the subtle signals of a group and creating spaces where truth can surface without force. Since the summer of 2025, she’s brought this approach to the Light Dark Institute, where she weaves embodiment, attunement, and curiosity into every container she holds. Her devotion is to transformation that honors the body, welcomes the unknown, and makes room for the full spectrum of human experience.
