The Shadow Side of the Feminine Summit running from the 15th August- 4th September, is a global, grassroots platform for high-level, raw and relevant discussions about the feminine shadow, with leading experts, teachers, authors & mentors.
This summit is dedicated to exploring the hidden & denied aspects of the human experience.
In Jungian psychology, the “Shadow", refers to everything we exile, deny or are unaware of about ourselves and the world around us.
Reclamation of the shadow empowers you to own every aspect of yourself - the light and the dark - so that you can experience the fullness of your being & feel more intimately connected to yourself, others & the world around you. We are here to guide you through this intimate process and explore shadow work, together.
Join us for this 21-day immersion as we dive into rich, layered & commonly overlooked topics which are so essential to solving the greatest issues of this time in human history.
The Shadow Side of the Feminine Summit includes 60+ interviews, round table discussions & live masterclasses exploring the feminine shadow as it relates to:
Jungian Psychology
Somatics & The Body
Activism & Social Justice
Motherhood & Birth
Gender & LGBTQ+
The Erotic

"A thousand thankyou's for making this inclusive of all genders who are exploring their femininity in different ways, for allowing those who identify as feminine or female in different ways to express themselves, and for giving transgender voices a place among your leaders and speakers. So valuable and so appreciated! " S. Cole : LGBTQ+ Equalities Officer
Meet Your Hosts: Maanee Chrystal & Blaire Lindsay
Maanee Chrystal ( She/Her) is a Curator, Holistic Psychotherapist and Somatic Dance Therapist. Her combined background in embodiment, depth & somatic psychology, sex positive education and Non-Dual Tantra, has shaped her integral and grounded approach to self inquiry and personal transformation.
A fervent shadow worker, deep listener and feeler, lover of the Truth, Maanee guides others to whole heartedly embrace the repressed, unseen aspects of self as a pathway to deeper connection, freedom and awakening.
She is the founder of Embodied Psychotherapy.Earth, offering 1:1, group & couples sessions in person & online, psychotherapy training & leadership mentoring and the co-founder of AMANEcurated an educational platform hosting retreats with leaders in the fields of human development and consciousness.
As an embodiment and sexuality coach, Blaire ( She/Her) helps women to come into deeper union with themselves, their bodies and their erotic essence.Working with women who struggle to 'have it all' and feel the heavy burden of such a lofty goal, Blaire's work aligns women with their deepest, embodied truth so that they can live joyfully and passionately, capable of incredible intimacy.

In her online programs and in-person trainings, Blaire draws from a background in classical and neo-Tantra, yoga, dance and trauma resolution to help women access full-body presence and inner to outer radiance.
Blaire holds a B.A. in Social Sciences, is a 500hr registered yoga teacher, a certified coach and a Somatic Experiencing Trauma Resolution Practitioner in training (to be completed in 2021).
These necessary, edgy, and impactful conversations, offers all individuals, regardless of gender, race or background, permission to enter into deep personal inquiry of some of the most overlooked and rejected parts of the human experience.
In this process, we will ask big questions, lean into the uncomfortable, and challenge our conditioning and beliefs. You will experience the power of the shadow as an ally, rather than seeing it as something to be ashamed of and push away.
We want to ensure this knowledge serves your life in the way it was designed to so that you can embody wholeness.
In addition to the 60+ interviews, you'll have access to live masterclasses (scroll to the bottom of the page) with skilled teachers sharing practical, embodied and trauma informed tools to help you integrate this wisdom into your daily life.
"I have devoured and gobbled up every, single interview, so far. Each carry equal enlightenment, enlivenment and resonance.
Maanee & Blaire, I love watching how you both breathe and receive as you focalize the interviews and process and register the information into your bodies. This whole summit is an epic gift and feels like a nexus which even the ancestors in the shadows- past and future- are listening in on." - S. Sephton

WHY THE FEMININE?
Through our own journey with the shadow, as the curators if this summit, we have recognized a multi-faceted epidemic at play:
One where we as individuals and society have been so separated from ourselves & the essence of our humanity.
We are deep in the shadows and we are conditioned to perceive it as " normal".
We recognize the distorted and disowned relationship to the feminine archetypal energy within all genders, as well as the oppression of female identified people is due to the lack of holistic psychological, somatic, sexual, spiritual and ecological education.
We feel this education is the antidote needed to create a safe, caring and supportive worldwide community.
We, Blaire and Maanee, both deeply desire a global culture of connection.
Our hope is that these conversations & teachings shine the light of awareness on the hidden parts of ourselves so that we can all become more intimately connected to life & each other.
