addictionfree.world
i am proud to be the founder of this collective of experienced practitioners, whose mission is to help sufferers escape forever the clutches of addiction.
we are a training, coaching and support community. our approach is transformational, pragmatic, spiritual, liberating and empowering. it is based on our unique blend of...
• tantra, a holistic interweaving of traditions, teachings and practice, which transforms the self through insight and self-awareness;
• analytical psychology, psychodrama and shadow work, a system of concepts and psychotherapy processes partially evolved from carl jung’s work on individuation, the shadow, the personal unconscious and archetypes; and
• the hero's journey of classical literature and myth as captured by joseph campbell's monomyth.
shadow work
i successfully completed my shadow work facilitator training in 2018, under the guidance of the legendary john kurk, the founder of and mentor to the growing community of shadow work practitioners in europe.
i am now working on improving my competence as an independent shadow work practitioner and look forward to staffing some shadow workshops soon.
separately in 2018, i am delighted to have also successfully completed a 'six month journey through archetypes', an extended series of workshops of personal exploration and transformation.
i honour the wisdom and compassion of our workshop leaders, rod boothroyd (www.strongfreemen.co.uk) and marianne hill (healingtheshadow.co.uk) and highly recommend their expertise in this area.
the toughest journey of all
in the meantime, i am learning all the time how to be a better husband and a better father to my wonderful sixteen year old son.
