The Wisdom in the Dark: Shadow Work for the Winter Season

In this episode of the Emberwing Collective Podcast, Kimberly and Vicki explore the ancient, psychological, and deeply personal practice of shadow work. As we approach the darkest days of the year, this is the perfect season to turn inward, recognize the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled, and begin the gentle, powerful work of integration.

We talk about the roots of shadow work across cultures, the different types of shadows (repressed, projected, golden, ancestral, collective), and how the Emberwing elemental paths help guide the process. We also introduce a Golden Shadow Reflection Practice that invites you to reclaim your brilliance in a safe, grounded way.

This episode is a warm, honest invitation to meet the parts of yourself you’ve hidden and welcome them back home.
