Shame Release Workshop

2.5 hour workshop on Tuesday, October 22nd at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET

Minimum Donation: $10

Limited Spaces Available

Ceremony will take place via live video on Zoom, led by Kat Courtney

Ayahuasca calls shame the most destruction emotion there is, because it’s based on a lie that we’ve done something wrong. Whatever we have done, whatever choices we have made, they came from the best place we had available in that moment. To be shameful of any part of ourselves is to be in a prison of suffering. When shame is illuminated, named, and honored with compassion, it melts to reveal the joy of our authenticity. Shame is not a problem to be fixed, it is an experience to be honored. What shame deeply longs for is acceptance. That must be experienced in community.

Let’s come together as a tribe in a safe, vulnerable container and feel, process, share, befriend, and honor our beautiful, wise, yet painful elements of shame. Shamanic coach and death doula Kat Courtney will lead a community of open-hearted people across the globe in a virtual Shame Illumination Workshop. We will work with the element of Earth to support the stability and courage we need to name these hidden, cast out parts of ourselves. We will compassionately bear witness to the courageous admissions from our fellow light warriors, reflecting back acceptance and understanding. And we will each stand in the light of truth to name, befriend, and integrate the shadow of our guilt and shame.

The Ritual will include opportunities to speak, emote, write, and meditate on the intelligence and power of our personal and collective shadow. Kat will create a ritualistic container using ancient shamanic practices honoring these untamed emotions, creating safety for all who gather to vulnerably move through some of the stuck energies in our bodies and beings.  

The cost of this workshop is literally ANYTHING you can afford. You can register below for as little as $10.00. If you don’t have that to give and still wish to attend, email us here - no one will be turned away.

Let’s bring love to the parts of ourselves that need it the most.
