Shadow Tech is a developing system for understanding the self destructive complexes that lie in our shadows and healing the wounds that created them.  It’s grounded in the Jungian view of the shadow and integrated with new concepts for understanding the way in which the shadow proliferates through mind, body, culture and civilization.  

Shadow Tech is a systems based approach, tying together understandings from a variety of domains to create an “Integral” perspective on the human shadow. This way of seeing can be used to help end self-destructive cycles and turn around chronic illnesses, which are always linked to autonomous complexes passed through families or formed out of trauma.  It can be used to transcend destructive relationship patterns - in fact it uses relational conflict as a catalyst for inner development.  It also helps us to understand how large-scale social pathologies manifest and it can be used to better understand how and why evil is created in the world.  Shadow Tech addresses the shadow from the personal, relational, social and biological perspectives. 

Some of our influences are:  Carl Jung and many Jungians such as Joseph Campbell, Robert L. Moore, C. Michael Smith, Marion Woodman, Robert A. Johnson, Anthony Stevens, Michael Meade, Whitmont, Edinger and others, western esoteric alchemy, Integral Theory (Ken Wilber), Spiral Dynamics (Beck and Cowan),  Eckhart Tolle (the Pain Body),  Michael Brown (Presence Process), John Ruskan (Emotional Clearing),  Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems),  Paul Levy (Wetiko),  John Sarno (TMS),  Lama Tsultrim Allione (Feeding your Demons), Sri Aurobindo, the Mother and so many more.
