INTEGRATIVE SHADOW COACHING

Devil

the

Shoulder

on your

Let Reason Rest,

Listen to your Naughty Side

Allow yourself to be guided back to wholeness and restful authenticity.

Integrative Shadow Work

Not your mama's shadow work.

This is the essential foundation work to Wonderment, allowing the Shadows to become allies and hidden no longer. You want Whimsy? Meet your hidden parts and bring them to the table. Your full will needs to be conscious to be able to walk the pathless path of the Fool's Way, lest you be led by authority outside of yourself.

 

This isn't therapizing yourself, bringing forward the repressed aspects to become conscious, known, discussed. This is handing the microphone to those parts and letting them say their piece in a safe, held container.

 

This is playful, loose, indulgent. This is taking off the kid gloves and treating yourself like the fully capable adult you are.

 

We will laugh, absolutely; and sure, maybe some tears. But this is your time to let yourself loose, give in and give voice to everything you thought you should never think, let alone say.

We'll see what motivations are under the words, what repressed desires might be trying to make themselves known, and where energy is being held in stasis that could be utilized in living your full, vital life, completely utilizing your Will.

Are you feeling under resourced to be your truest self? Is there a block to what you think you want versus what you keep getting? Do you feel internally or externally sabotaged every time you feel like you're just starting to become who you really are?

I have been this person and I'm here to tell you there is a way through.

If you're done only living half a life and want to give voice to the parts of yourself who know the way back to wholeness, this is the session for you.

 

This is for:

The Depth-Divers

The Fearless

The Fed Up

The Spiritually Adept

Who is this for?

Your Guide

who is she?

My name is River North, integrative shadow & wonderment coach. I'm the devil on your shoulder, the trickster shapeshifter come to pull the rug from out beneath your feet, the thief in the shadows ready to pick your pockets clean of everything that isn't meant for you. Why would you want to carry all that extra weight anyway? 

 

I am in service to the trickster archetype and the god of Whimsy. I sell the wares of self-liberation.​ Your lies are never safe with me, but your truths are.

I am a gentle friend with a fierceness for truth. I have incisive seeing, but warmhearted understanding. I choose enjoyment, silliness, and frivolity because this work can be mired in seriousness and mirky darkness. I am always learning, just as you. I have a way of speaking to the parts of yourself that are as of yet still unfamiliar and bringing them round the campfire to play and chat. I am anything but formulaic because this work is too wily and people are too unique to rely on systems. I am led by runic understanding, which is radical, relational, and real. I am ruled by Mercury (Odin, ha!) and it is obvious. :)

My background:

  • Runic Teacher & 8 Year Practitioner

  • Ceremonial Magician

  • 5 years of Tibetan Buddhist Ati Yoga/Dzogchen Practice

  • Bardic Grade in the Order of Bards, Ovates, & Druids (OBOD)

  • Reiki Master Teacher trained by Lisa Belvoir | VortexHealing Foundational with Lorraine Goldbloom
