Shadow Side Of The Feminine Global Summit 

 

Join 15 experts in provocative, soul inspiring & daring interviews

 as we reclaim our feminine wholeness  by exploring

 the hidden, rejected & denied aspect of the feminine. 

 

Welcome to the shadow side of the feminine summit.

This is a sanctuary for women to safely strip back the layers that separate us from ourselves- to uncover a more real, organic & alive embodiment of the feminine.

Join us for free as we dive into engaging conversations & workshops on the feminine shadow with leading experts in the field of women's liberation.

In Jungian psychology, the "Shadow" represents everything we exile, deny, or remain unaware of—It is the unconscious, the unknown, the avoided, the too scary to confront. 
 
We often avoid delving into the shadow because it has the power to transform our entire lives.
 
But why? 
Because when we face the shadow, we uncover where we are truly surrendering our power, to whom, and why. 
 
In that revelation, we realize we can no longer afford to continue these patterns if we desire a life of depth, connection, aliveness, and fulfillment. 
 
Embracing the shadow is the key to remembering that we no longer have to live in fragmentation-  It’s a pathway to a felt sense of wholeness & fulfillment, which is essentially what we all long to feel and embody in this life.
In the Shadow Side Of The Feminine Summit we will be asking deep, edgy & uncomfortable questions to top experts in their field about how we as women can become aware of our own personal and collective shadow to hardness more freedom & sovereignty in our lives

-Dismantling Patriarchy As Women

-Body Sovereignty

-Greif & Rage

-Sensuality & Eros

- Ageism

-Threat, Jelously & Competition 

-Slut Shaming among women

-Fatphobia

-Relating

-Pleasure

-Motherhood

-The Madonna/Whore split

And it's not our fault... We have received messages that are contradictory and impossible to satisfy: be thin but not too thin, youthful yet natural, sexual but modest. We’re criticized for showing too much skin and for covering up, for altering our bodies and for being “too natural.” These standards reduce us to objects for scrutiny rather than honoring us as whole, complex beings.

And the problem goes deeper than appearance. Women are expected to navigate impossible contradictions in their sexuality: to be virginal yet experienced, desirable yet restrained. When we embrace our sexual agency, we’re shamed. when we don’t, we’re labeled as "cold". This double bind leaves us no space to live authentically, perpetuating cycles of shame and disempowerment.

So it makes sense that we constantly strive for a standard of femininity that will provide us with the sense that we are worthy (whether we realize it or not).

To feel worthy & loved are natural human needs, however,  we have learnt that we have to be in particular way in order to get that love. We end up perpetuating cycles of patarichal and misogynistic narrative ourselves and maintaining the statue quo that we actually mostly despise rather than creating our own story!

 

Over 5 days, you will be guided to discover the opportunity to bring the relegated aspects of the feminine out of the shadows. Together, we will remember that it's safe to be all of we you are, outside of the scripts we've been given. 

 

We will shine the light on our collective conditioning to reclaim the wisdom of our bodies, our sensual intelligence, and the intuitive, powerful, and fecund nature of the organic feminine principle.

We live in a paradigm where we, as women, are constantly give our power away to a narrative that was never ours to begin with. We don't even realize we are doing it.  

 

And it's not our fault... We have received messages that are contradictory and impossible to satisfy: be thin but not too thin, youthful yet natural, sexual but modest. We’re criticized for showing too much skin and for covering up, for altering our bodies and for being “too natural.” These standards reduce us to objects for scrutiny rather than honoring us as whole, complex beings.

When we embrace our sexual agency, we’re shamed. when we don’t, we’re labeled as "cold". This double bind leaves us no space to live authentically, perpetuating cycles of shame and disempowerment.

As women, the longing to feel seen, wanted, loved, and desired is intrinsically woven within our bodies, our psyches, and nervous systems.

So it makes sense that we constantly strive for a standard of femininity that will provide us with the sense that we are worthy (whether we realize it or not). 

To feel worthy & loved are natural human needs. However, we have learnt that we have to be in particular ways in order to get that love. We end up perpetuating cycles of patriarchal and misogynistic narratives, to ourselves and others. We maintain the statue quo that we actually most despise, rather than creating our own story!

Shadow work is an anchor for truth. It takes you on a profound journey to uncover what you can’t see, because it reveals the crucial truths of ourselves, the world, and others.

This is for you if you..

 

Yearn to... embrace all of who you are outside of outdated narratives & distortions around the feminine.

 

Desire to... join a powerful collective of women, refusing to perpetuate the limiting programming that disconnect us from our intrinsic power and wisdom.

 

Are ready to... face the taboo, challenge convention, and sit courageously in the discomfort of the shadows.

 

Seek... expert navigation through provocative topics, and crave connection with a diverse community of women echoing the same pulse of embodied freedom.

As women with access to greater freedoms, we hold a profound opportunity—and responsibility 

 

Being free, embodied, and fully alive in our bodies as women is our birthright. Yet, countless women around the world remain deeply oppressed, their voices silenced and their freedom denied. As women with access to greater freedoms, we hold a profound opportunity—and responsibility—to harness the liberties we have, breaking through the unconscious shackles we often don’t realize we carry. When we do this, we restore our frequency and being to their rightful, embodied, and liberated state.

This journey is not merely for our pleasure, although pleasure is essential and sacred. It is also for the women who cannot yet claim this freedom. Every step we take toward embodying our wholeness sends ripples outward, a quiet revolution of sovereignty that transcends borders and boundaries. We rise not just for ourselves, but for every woman still waiting for the chance to rise
