THE BASIC SHADOW TYPES TRAINING

This online training will give you:

• a fundamental understanding of the twelve Shadow Types.
• the ability to use the Basic Shadow Types Survey, so that you can more scientifically “type” people and explain their results to them (this makes a good introduction for coaching clients)
• an understanding of the scientific drivers behind the four archetypes and how these interact to form the 12 Shadow Types.

Why do this training? What’s in it for me?

Gaining access to this knowledge and understanding will increase your capacity to work with the shadow in any field, including any organizational setting.

The Shadow Work^® model has made a quantum leap in the last few years. We have broken each of the four archetypes down into three subdivisions, so that we can now see shadows in “twelves” instead of just seeing in “fours.” This means that you can learn to identify 12 distinct shadows and see through the lens of “twelves.” This puts a finer point on your perception of the four archetypes. You will go from seeing in “fours” to seeing in “twelves.”

A more recent enhancement of the Shadow Work model comes from the latest research in genetics and how those genetics shape our behavior. As a result, each of the four archetypes is now associated with one of the four big genetic predispositions. And each of the 12 Shadow Types is a combination of these genetic predispositions.

The new dimensions of the model don’t contradict the idea of there being four main shadows in the four directions. It just refines your definition of those shadows. You might say that Shadow Work has gone “High Definition.” The new model offers better resolution, so that you can see finer details and thus deepens your ability to perceive shadows

What will the training look like?

This training is an online course, using Zoom video meetings for the live discussion sessions. The training consists of several hours of video presentations, along with five live discussion sessions. The training will run for five to six weeks. The class dates and times will be arranged to suit the availability, and mix of time zones, of those who are registered for the course.

You will receive your own copy of the Basic Shadow Types Manual, which outlines in detail each of the twelve Shadow Types. Throughout the training we will use this manual and explore different examples of each of the Types.

Are there any pre-requisites?

The pre-requisite for this course is to have completed a Shadow Work process either as part of a Shadow Work weekend or a Shadow Work Coaching Session. Alternatively, you may fulfill the pre-requisite through one of the other trainings that offer Shadow-Work-type of processing (for example: MKP, Woman Revealed, Woman Within, Liminal, Soul Beauty, Woman in Power, Inner King Training, the Crucible Project, etc.).

Are there more trainings on this subject?

Yes. While the Basic Shadow Types training is a stand alone course, it is also the prerequisite for the Advanced Shadow Types, Loops and Pathways Training, which in turn is the prerequisite for the ‘Shadow Types Practitioner” Certification Program and also for both the Shadow Work Applied Process Pathways Training (for Shadow Work facilitators and coaches) and the Shadow Work Organizational Consultant’s Training.
