Unravelling Shame
Join Siân Williams, Michael Ryan and Saoró in September for a series of explorations on the topic of unravelling shame.
In this period between Lughnasadh and Samhain as we move from the light towards the darker half of the year, we invite you to join us to shine the light together into the darkness of the shame that we each carry.

Online Workshop - SHAME: Reclaiming the Medicine Within, with Claire Killilea - Donation Based
Thursday 3 October 2024
19:00 -21:00
online via Zoom
Are there parts of you that whisper doubts, fears, and unworthiness? Do you find yourself afraid to be truly seen and heard, hesitant to step fully into your power, or ashamed of the shadows that linger within? It’s time to reclaim your power, rewrite your story, and embrace all parts of yourself. The Shame Masterclass is a 2-hour ritual journey into the heart of your shame, where you will confront, embrace, and transform it. This is not just a workshop—it’s a powerful initiation into self-acceptance and empowerment. Shame is not your enemy; it is a gateway to reclaiming your deepest truths.
After this journey, you will walk away informed and educated, unapologetically confident, ready to be seen and heard in your truth, fully empowered to claim and embody your power, and whole, embracing every shadow, every piece of your story.

**transmission on Shame on Saoró**
Please check out this beautiful & powerful transmission on Shame from Claire @clarititycoaching as part of our Unravelling Shame series.
We’ve been just blown away by Claire’s work on shame. It’s been a real pleasure to learn about her process and her work with women on this important topic.
“This transmission was channeled in the moment, intuitively weaving words to land deep within your being. The energy of shame, so intricately tied to the women of this land, flowed through with potency and intention. It invites you to pause, create space, and receive with presence—even better with a cup of cacao…
As you sit with this message, allow yourself to listen deeply. Let the words weave through your body and spirit, inviting you to explore, reclaim, and transform the stories of shame you carry.
Would love to hear how it lands with you”
Claire

**from the archives on Saoró**
As part of our Unravelling Shame series, it’s time to revisit the Saoró archives & Declan’s important piece on “Embracing The Sacred Masculine”, spotlighting the emotionally damaging “masculinisation” of boys & unpacking how shame presents itself in men.
See an excerpt here below on healing shame:
Helping Men to Heal Shame
* The overarching message that men receive is that any weakness is shameful • Since vulnerability is often perceived as weakness, it is especially risky for men to practice vulnerability
* The antidote to shame is vulnerability
* Recognise and acknowledge shame: the first step in healing shame is to become aware of it
* Start by identifying what triggers the shame and the thoughts and beliefs that fuel it • Shame is a universal emotion; it’s okay to feel it
* Practice self-compassion: learn to treat yourself with kindness, understanding and self-love, even in the face of shame
* Challenge limiting beliefs: examine the beliefs that fuel your shame and question their validity. (Often, these are based on outdated societal expectations or personal experiences that no longer serve you)
* Cultivate self-awareness: increase self-awareness by exploring your emotions, thoughts, and behaviours
* Reach out, ask for help
* Set boundaries for yourself: don’t take on work or responsibilities that you don’t want to do or haven’t the resources for
* Apologise, “own it” when you are wrong
* Connect with other men: find support and community by connecting with other men who are also on a journey of healing and growth

Thank you Nikki @spiritual_but_badass for this lively and enlightening conversation on how to work with our bodies to release old stories and patterns and the many beautiful ways we can come together to do that.
Working on our own self-image is such a powerful part of this journey of unravelling shame 🙌 ✨️.
