Advanced Workshop Series
Foundations Workshop Series
Awaken the Power of Love by Embracing the Shadows
Our Foundations Workshop Series is for anyone who feels called to unlock the full power of their hearts through embracing the shadows within and around them. Light Dark Foundations provides immersive, hands-on opportunities to grow your capacity to love the darkness in yourself and in the world, and cultivate deeper skills to live and lead with power, compassion and resilience.
Advanced Workshop Series
A fast-paced deep dive for experienced space holders
Our Advanced Workshop Series is designed specifically for workshop facilitators and people who already have extensive experience with shadow work and/or conscious BDSM. It’s only accessible via invitation or application. It’s a deep dive into saturating all aspects of life with radical acceptance, so you can experience the freedom, power, and intimacy of living with nothing held back.
Which workshop series is right for me?
Choosing between the Foundations Series and the Advanced Series depends on your level of experience and personal growth goals. Both series have a Level 1 workshop which is open to people who are new to Light Dark work, but your previous personal growth background will determine which series is the better gateway.
“Leslie and Tani are two of the most clear, supportive, and empowering workshops leaders I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve been to hundreds of workshops). Their comfort and natural ease in working with the darkest shadows is breathtaking! If you are ready for deep transformation, don’t miss out on the profound wisdom of these two awesome teachers.”
