Whether through bad habits, negative thought patterns, or counterproductive behaviors, we all have a 'shadow' that sabotages us at times.

This unique experiential course will teach key concepts and skills for exploring our shadows through analyzing emotions and addressing the impact of formative experiences on our operating beliefs and behaviors as adults. We will gain a higher level of self-awareness and begin the process of troubleshooting deep-seated obstacles to success and happiness.

Issues that can be explored include:

• Anxiety
• Loneliness
• Stress
• Procrastination
• Overcommitment
• Relationship challenges

 

Concepts and skills taught include:

• Emotional literacy and awareness
• An archetypal understanding of the mind derived from the work of Carl Jung and others
• How to create a shared environment of trust, vulnerability, authenticity and love
• Ways to identify the underlying beliefs that drive counterproductive behaviors
• Ways to identify the formative experiences that led to these beliefs

 

To Register: email shadow-magicians-staff@mit.edu with a brief description of your interest in this course. This course is specifically geared towards MIT students. Non-MIT individuals may be granted admission if space is available.

Timeliness: Due to the personal nature of the course, the doors will close at exactly 12 minutes past the hour. No one will be admitted to the day’s session after that point for any reason, although you are welcome to attend future meetings.
