Your Questions, Answered

  • Sacred Shadow School is an educational space focused on emotional awareness, self-inquiry, and integration. The work supports people in understanding patterns, emotions, and relational dynamics rather than fixing or transforming themselves.

    This is not therapy or coaching, but a guided, reflective approach to understanding the inner world with care and responsibility.

  • No. Sacred Shadow School does not provide therapy, counseling, medical treatment, or mental health services.

    While emotional material may arise, all offerings are educational and reflective in nature. Participants are responsible for seeking professional mental health support when needed.

  • This work is for people who:

    • are interested in understanding their emotional patterns and inner responses

    • value depth, pacing, and integration over quick fixes

    • are willing to engage thoughtfully and honestly over time

    It is best suited for those who are emotionally resourced enough to engage in self-inquiry without relying on this work as primary mental health support.

  • This work may not be a good fit if you are:

    • seeking immediate relief, solutions, or transformation

    • in acute emotional crisis or instability

    • looking for therapy, diagnosis, or treatment

    • unwilling to engage with patience or personal responsibility

    In these cases, professional mental health support is recommended.

  • Containers are facilitated and relational. They include live group or one-to-one spaces where the work unfolds through ongoing presence, dialogue, and attunement over time.

    Courses are self-led and educational. They are designed for independent learning and reflection without live facilitation or relational holding.

  • Guided journals are reflective tools designed to support self-inquiry at your own pace. They are not facilitated experiences and can be used independently alongside other forms of support.

  • No. Retreats are optional immersive experiences and are not required to participate in other offerings.

    Many people engage meaningfully through courses, containers, or journals without attending a retreat.

  • If you’re new to the work, starting with a course or guided journal is often helpful.

    If you’re seeking relational depth and facilitated integration, a container or 1:1 space may be more appropriate.

    If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to explore the offerings pages or reach out with a question.

  • Time commitment varies by offering and is outlined on each individual page.

    Self-led courses and journals allow flexible pacing. Containers and retreats require a clearer commitment to scheduled sessions and integration time between meetings.

  • Refund and cancellation policies are outlined on individual offering pages at the time of purchase or application.

    Due to the nature of digital content and facilitated work, refunds are not guaranteed unless explicitly stated.

  • The work may include reflective and contemplative elements, but it is not tied to any specific religion or belief system.

    Participants are welcome to engage from their own spiritual, cultural, or secular perspective.

  • Confidentiality is respected within facilitated spaces to the extent possible. However, Sacred Shadow School cannot guarantee confidentiality in group settings or external platforms.

    Participants are encouraged to share responsibly and within their own boundaries.
