Entering the Shadow: An Introduction to Shadow Work & Inner Authority

  • Sweet Peace Yoga Studio 1 Main Street Cramerton, NC 28032 United States (map)

What if the parts of yourself you’ve tried to fix, hide, or outgrow are not obstacles — but invitations into deeper wholeness?

This experiential workshop offers an introduction to shadow work as a path toward self-trust, emotional freedom, and authentic inner authority. Rather than focusing on self-improvement, participants will learn how hidden patterns, protective strategies, and disowned aspects of self quietly shape relationships, reactions, and life choices — and how to begin meeting these parts with curiosity instead of judgment.

Blending psychological insight with guided experiential practice, Cristina creates a grounded and supportive space where participants can safely explore their inner world, access new awareness, and experience the beginning of integration in real time. Through teaching, reflection, and structured exercises, attendees will leave with practical tools, a personal practice framework, and a deeper understanding of how transformation unfolds from within.

This workshop serves as the first step in an unfolding series designed to deepen shadow integration over time, offering participants a clear pathway for continued growth, community, and embodied change.

For the first experiential introduction to Shadow Work, we are offering tiered pricing at $44, $55, and $66. This includes the three-hour workshop as well as a one-hour integration call. As you register, we invite you to choose the pricing level that feels most supportive and aligned for you at this time. Each tier offers the same experience, while allowing space for different levels of financial capacity and personal choice. This is your first practice in Shadow Work: pausing, checking in, and responding from a place of honesty, self-trust, and inner authority. There is no right or wrong choice — only an honest one. Your work begins the moment you choose.

Your facilitator, Cristina Bruington, is a licensed therapist who guides individuals and groups through the deep inner work of shadow integration and personal awakening. Blending clinical expertise with intuitive insight, she creates grounded yet expansive spaces where people can safely encounter hidden patterns, reclaim disowned parts of themselves, and reconnect with their inner authority. Known for her steady presence and ability to hold profound psychological and spiritual thresholds, Cristina helps participants move from self-protection into self-trust, allowing meaningful change to emerge naturally rather than through force. Her work bridges psychology and soul, honoring both evidence-based practice and the innate wisdom that unfolds when people feel truly seen. Cristina is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist and offers therapy, teaching, and immersive workshop experiences designed to support deep integration and lasting transformation.
