Embracing the Shadow: Radical Self-Acceptance for the Journey Within

Ayahuasca and Acacia are profound medicines that guide us inward, revealing the hidden truths we often avoid—the fears, judgments, and shame that keep us from living as our most authentic selves. They hold a mirror to our soul, inviting us to confront the shadows and embrace the wholeness of who we are.

This online Zoom workshop will explore how radical self-acceptance becomes the foundation for inner leadership—a balance of self-compassion and self-authority. Through this sacred practice, we free ourselves from the chains of shame and step into our imperfectly perfect selves.

When we accept ourselves fully, we become a beacon of permission for others to do the same, creating a ripple of healing and authenticity in our communities.

We’ll conclude with a powerful fire ritual, releasing what no longer serves and calling in the courage to lead from within.

Who is this for:

This workshop is perfect for those who are looking to sit with sacred plant medicine in the near future, or are on an integration journey.

However, this workshop will also be highly valuable to anyone who is on a spiritual journey of self-discovery and healing.
