Shadow work. You may be familiar with it, you may have done some, perhaps you're well acquainted with your shadow. Maybe you have no idea what this all means but have heard people talking about it. It's work what has fascinated, compelled and challenged me for most of my life and specifically the past couple of years working with Kerrie. For context, her bio is a compelling introduction to this work and the topic of this conversation: "Kerrie works at the crossroads of vision, creativity and imagination as an author, tarot reader, shadow guide and practicing witch. Her first book Morsel was released in early 2022 after a decade of writing online. Making her home on the wild east coast of Australia Kerrie works worldwide online, guided by the moon and stars above and earth below, intentionally creating safe curated spaces for you to connect to your path and power, your soul self and your innate guidance. With a decades old background in natural and alternative therapies, plant and magical lore and a deep commitment to ongoing learning, Kerrie is passionate about reflecting your innate wisdom back to you in myriad forms." In this episode we discuss: What is our shadow, and does everyone have one?How might we come to understand and integrate our shadow?The role of trauma, shame and guilt in shadow workHow Kerrie came to be doing this kind of workThe cultural, environmental and familial contexts in which our shadow is both formed and projectedIt's a deep dive into places we tend to avoid, but are ultimately so liberating and rewarding. I hope you enjoy this conversation and if you'd prefer to watch, I've uploaded it onto YouTube here.  For more information on Kerrie's work, check out her website. You can buy her book, Morsel, here.
