Shadow work is a term used a lot in our current society. There are many methods out there for working and integrating our shadows. Shadow work is meeting the hidden parts of ourselves—the fears, wounds, and stories buried beneath the surface. What I have found is that dealing with our shadows can be like war - an uphill battle against our inner demons or it can be like art- creating new pathways of understanding and utilizing our shadows as tools to heal deeper. When we heal our shadows, we don’t just heal ourselves—we contribute to the healing of the collective. In a world shaped by generational pain and unspoken truths, working together allows us to break cycles, reclaim our power, and step into a more whole and authentic version of ourselves. Being in community reminds us that we are not alone and that our healing ripples out to everyone we touch. 🚀 Join us for our next SDM community call on Wednesday which is designed to support your personal and professional needs. Together, we’ll explore how shadow work can deepen our creative expression, our relationships, and our ability to hold space for others. 💫 Bring your questions, struggles, wisdom, and an open mind to receive the medicine you need for your journey. Come as you are—let’s walk the path of healing together. xx, Deanna P.S. Soul Retrieval: Snake Medicine Recording is now LIVE in the classroom Recordings.

Political shock can shake our sense of purpose, making us question our role in the world. ⬇️Here are some signs that you may be experiencing political shock and could benefit from soul retrieval: [If you see yourself in these signs, know that you are not alone—you are experiencing the weight of the world in a body, heart, and soul designed to feel.] 1️⃣ Persistent Feelings of Hopelessness or Powerlessness If you feel like nothing you do matters, like your voice is lost in the noise or that change is impossible, your spirit may be carrying the weight of collective despair. While healthy reflection is natural, prolonged hopelessness can indicate a deeper soul wound. 2️⃣ Emotional Numbness or Disconnection Have you stopped feeling deeply? Do world events no longer stir you, even when they once would have? Sometimes, when we experience repeated political and societal traumas, we unconsciously shut down our emotions as a form of self-preservation. 3️⃣ Constant Anxiety, Anger, or Grief On the other end of the spectrum, if you find yourself constantly enraged, anxious, or heartbroken about the state of the world—unable to find even moments of peace—your soul may be struggling to integrate and process collective pain. 4️⃣Feeling Spiritually or Energetically Exhausted Do you feel drained even when you rest? A sense of deep, soul-level exhaustion—beyond physical tiredness—can be a sign that your spiritual energy is fractured and in need of healing. 5️⃣ Difficulty Trusting Others or Finding Community If you feel increasingly isolated or distrustful—struggling to connect with like-minded people—it may be because soul loss has left you feeling ungrounded, unable to discern safe, aligned relationships from harmful ones. Political and social traumas impact us at every level, but healing is always possible. 🧿 How Soul Retrieval Can Help 🧿 Soul retrieval is not just an esoteric concept; it is an act of radical self-reclamation. It can take many forms: 🌿Ancestral & Spiritual Practices – Calling upon your ancestors, guides, and spiritual traditions to reclaim lost parts of yourself.
