As we retreat once again as the nights draw in, to yield to a darker, more inward time; a time to appreciate the harvest, to compost, to let go; to consider what seeds might be sown for a time to come. Will you join us to explore what you might let go of, alter or invite anew?
• • •
As you grew up, were you shamed for crying or punished for being angry? Maybe you were ridiculed for drawing attention to yourself; for being you?
When these things happen, the young self can split-off, repress, deny or alter parts of themselves and put them into shadow to avoid further pain... to hide them.
As an adult, the repercussions of these alterings can be experienced in many ways. It may have affected your ability to trust and be truly intimate; to know your truth and express it well. It may have affected your self-worth and belief to act on your dreams; your ability to honour your feelings, your fears, to not drown them out; to allow rest, creativity and play; to pursue joy!
Our altered behaviours can be like shadows on a wall. Shadow Work enables us to acknowledge them and discover what’s creating them. We can then set about understanding where they’ve come from, comprehend what is needed, and feel it, think it, do it, be it.
Shadow Work enables you to meet these subconscious, estranged facets of you that sabotage your life in remarkable ways. When you acknowledge and own your relationship to them, you can recover a more self-directed life.
The rewards are profound.
‘There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.’
- Carl G. Jung.

Jono Condous and Catherine Newell warmly invite you to attend this educational, experiential, exploratory weekend.
During our time together, we’ll be explaining and inviting you to experience the archetypes, which creates an awareness of this way of working onto which our deeper explorations are based.
Archetypes have been used for centuries as symbols of the human condition, recognized by the native American communities and later developed into a psychological system by psychologist Carl Jung. In our modern world the archetypes of Magician, Lover, Warrior and Sovereign have come to represent our capacity to think, love, set boundaries and lead.
Having thoroughly explained, experienced and exposed areas that are comfortable and less so, you will then have an opportunity to be supported with a piece of personal work, if you wish to, utilising the myriad of Shadow Work tools. This is an opportunity to deeply delve into what is subconsciously affecting your life, to work with it, to restore you to your more balanced, loving, creative, powerful self.
These groups are always very beautiful and extraordinary for the connections we make and depths we explore.

TESTIMONIALS:
"I recently had the privilege to attend a weekend workshop and to call it life changing does not even come close to doing the experience justice. I feel like after many many years of talking therapy I have finally participated in something that has shown me the path to my own freedom. The weekend is quite extraordinary, words cannot do justice to its impact. If you have the calling inside you to make a significant shift in your patterns then look no further. Catherine and Jono create a very special place full of care, understanding and love that supports all the participants giving them both permission and the courage to embark on the deepest and hardest work one can do. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the gift that they have given me."
- Rob, UK, June 2024
"Jono and Catherine - I can’t thank you enough for holding the space in such a committed and caring way. You took on so much of our emotions and created a special sacred space. We traveled on what felt like the most turbulent flight of our lives, but you captains landed us back safely!!”
- Vinesh Unalkat, June 2023
"I can say without exaggeration that the Shadow Work weekend was the most profound experience of my life so far. I have engaged in talking therapy before and have felt I'd made breakthroughs, but nothing compared to what I achieved in the 2.5 days I spent with Catherine and Jono. It is one thing to intellectualise your issues, but an entirely other level to feel the shifts literally in the core of your body. I find the experience hard to explain, but I keep noticing changes and shifts in so many areas of my life on a daily basis."
- Sanna Anderson, Nutritional Therapist, UK, June 2023
"I joined Catherine and Jono on a shadow work weekend recently. Their expertise and compassion was phenomenal. Catherine’s workspace is beautiful and her and Jono provided a safe, containing space throughout the weekend. Completing my own work allowed me to face parts of me that I had never dared open up and participating in the work of others was a privilege which also offered new perspectives on myself and my loved ones. The whole weekend was incredibly well run; the space, food, company, humour and compassion were far beyond what I expected."
- Jenny, Nov 2019
"Thank you, thank you, for such a beautiful, deep and connected weekend.
I thank you for the beautiful space you have created throughout the whole house that held us as a nurturing container throughout. Thank you for the smooth running of the course in which l could trust and relax, the wonderful food that appeared and nourished us and the wonderful work room that held us through the storms raging outside-and within.
And, thank you for your love, care, and beautiful holding of the group for the whole weekend, putting everything you had into each process which were so deep.
I felt very loved.
And, lastly thank you for the wonderful folk who journeyed along side me, what a privilege and what an amazing, and courageous group of souls we were. I felt very blessed."
- Justine, Nov 2019
