It’s never too late to create more authentic relationships. This interactive presentation about shadow work explores how the unconscious erupts in our lives and sabotages our relationships in repetitive arguments, criticism, distancing, projections, addictions, and life transitions, such as retirement, illness, and loss. It explains why the shadow forms in childhood, how to detect it when it emerges, and how to use this practice to make a conscious relationship with it and choose different outcomes. We will explore three examples in depth, including times for self-reflection.

The Enrichment Programs
supplement and broaden SI’s range of educational opportunities by inviting guest presenters who are accomplished authors, innovators, Sage-ing® Leaders and other creative professionals, to facilitate workshops and webinars that reflect their areas of study and mastery of topics related to aging more consciously.
