Course Description
Do you want to be more authentic, more integrated, more awake? Then your shadow side has to be faced and embraced.
What is the shadow? It’s made up of whatever we hide from others: our shame, our fears, our wounds but also our divine potential, our creative power and our hidden talents. The shadow is a huge source of benevolent power and potential but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached.
This 7-week course will guide you into the dazzling darkness of the shadow and show you how to unlock the gold within. Using ancient methods from Tibetan Buddhism alongside contemporary techniques from mindfulness, insight training and Western psychology the viewer is guided through a profound process of transformation. This course is about waking up to our inner freedom and becoming more authentically human.
Through guided meditations, dream work, shamanic mask practice and deep psychological inquiry we’ll learn how to befriend our shadow with loving kindness, as a way to heal our minds and open our hearts to our highest potential.

Ratings and Reviews

This is an excellent course, which has helped me build on Charlie Morley's Lucid Dreaming course I have already done. The course builds up gradually, providing a whole host of tools and techniques to help students befriend their shadows. I found that I had more lucid dreams, remembered more things from my past, felt more integrated and whole, even before I had completed the course. I know that this is just a first step, and can't wait to continue the journey.
A fantastic course filled with such powerful yet simple exercises. This material is so valuable and should be taught in all of the therapy training curriculums. The production values were good and the material broken out into very useable lengths. I plan to continue to use this course for the rest of my life as dying consciously has been a goal since my teens. Thank you Charlie and The Academy for bringing these deeply transformative practices and exercises into the light! Charlie your Buddhist teachers knew what they were doing when they trained you to bring this path to the Western community. Thank you isn’t enough. Deepest gratitude for your light in this dimension of the dream. Thank you to you all and to all your teachers. Namaste!
Definitely the most transformative best course I've ever done, not only for myself, but total transformed my relationships with my family and close friends, and even enemies. Recommending everyone to do the course, along with or after doing Charlie's lucid dreaming courses. Whereas the lucid dreaming is a great foundation course, shadow integration is like a whole new level Masters course.
Wow, I’ve just finished this course and feel pleased that I’ve dipped my toe into the shadow waters! Firstly I would like to thank Charlie for his amazing videos, stories and sharing his own dark shadows. I love his enthusiasm, humour, inspiration and his humility. I’m now planning the next course on Lucid Dreaming. This course has enabled me to pursue studying shadow aspects, entering into therapy and engaging with some of my own clients on a deeper level. Of course, there’s the Golden Shadow which is often neglected so I’m happy to be exploring that aspect too. Lastly I would like to thank Shamash and his co workers for bringing this course to the Awake Academy. I hope there are more courses like this. Lots of love ?x
