THE SHADOW SELF

THE SHADOW SELF: REFLECTED IN RELATIONSHIPS

Wednesday 15th October 2025

7PM to 9PM

The Hearth, NW6 6RD or via Zoom

Have you ever noticed how certain people or relationships seem to stir something in you – a reaction, an insecurity, a story about who you are? What if those moments were invitations to see yourself more clearly?

This session explores how your shadow self is mirrored in your relationships – with significant others, friends, family, colleagues and even strangers. Using shadow work tools, we explore projection, judgement, emotional reactivity and how these experiences can deepen your understanding of yourself. You’ll be invited to reflect on who you become in connection with others, where you may abandon yourself and the boundaries you struggle to hold.

Rather than seeing triggers as problems, we reframe them as signposts – invitation into greater self-awareness and compassion. You’ll begin to recognise how others act as mirrors for the parts of you that long to be seen, accepted and integrated.

Ticket holders of the Shadow Self series are invited to join a check-in circle between each shadow self session. This is a dedicated time and space to pause, reflect and connect. Here, you’re invited to share what’s been moving within you, the breakthroughs, the discomfort, and the questions still unfolding. 

We will gather for our next Circle on Monday 27th October from 6:30-8pm at The Hearth.

This is a supportive space where your experiences are met with understanding, and your voice is valued. Through open conversation and guided reflection, the circle offers the chance to deepen your relationship with yourself while being inspired by others walking a similar path. It’s a place to integrate the insights from your shadow self work and be reminded that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
