Sometimes we are overtaken by tragedies and traumas that stop us completely in our tracks. From these episodes, powerful emotions of fear, anger, anxiety, and sadness can arise that seem impossible to escape. Mythologically, this emotional territory is known as the underworld—the place of shadows and death. While we often interpret it as hell, many spiritual traditions render the underworld as more benign, a dark and difficult region we must visit at times to learn essential information about our deeper selves. Alongside practical tools and ideas for navigating underworld experiences, the workshop will also be rich in opportunities to share your own story and hear from others who may be going through similar periods of hardship and loss.
