Shadow Work is the process of exploring the hidden or suppressed aspects of yourself — the unconscious patterns, emotions, and behaviors that you may deny, avoid, or project onto others. It’s a form of inner healing that helps you integrate your “shadow”, a term made popular by psychologist Carl Jung, which represents the parts of you that are often rejected or left in the dark.
Shadow Work Journey with Antonina
An Invitation to Deep Inner Transformation
This is your opportunity to deep dive into shadow work—a guided journey of self-awareness, healing, and integration.
Over 6 to 12 weeks (depending on your current stage of the journey), you'll explore the layers of your inner world, uncovering what has been hidden or held back, and transform it into empowered self-love and purposeful living.
Whether you're just beginning, have walked this path before, or are already immersed in self-development and healing, this journey meets you where you are—with compassion, depth, and intention.
Structure:
Sessions are offered fortnightly or monthly, tailored to your needs and rhythm.
The process is flexible, allowing space for integration, reflection, and realignment.
Before we begin:
Antonina offers a pre-course Zoom call to connect, explore your needs, and make sure it aligns with the energetic and emotional space this work invites.

The Shadow Speaks Again…
If you moved through the first 13 days — or simply felt it stir something within — know this:
The work is never truly over.
It deepens. Softens. Sharpens. Evolves.
A new 13-day journey is coming.
To explore the parts we almost faced.
To sit with the edges we still hide.
To peel back one more layer — lovingly, deliberately, soulfully.
Crystals. Prompts. Rituals.
Goddess energy woven through the dark.
The light will wait.
But this is for the ones who still hear the whisper.
