Light & Shadow
A journey into shadow work and polarity on the winter solstice
Embrace both your light and darkness through breathwork, movement, and deep inner exploration
For thousands of years, humans have marked the winter solstice as a turning point. It's not mystical thinking, it's astronomy. On December 21st, the northern hemisphere tilts furthest from the sun. Darkness peaks. And then, the very next day, light starts its slow return.
Ancient cultures knew this rhythm mattered. The Romans celebrated Saturnalia. Germanic tribes honored Yule. Celtic traditions lit fires to help the sun's rebirth. They understood something we've forgotten: nature's cycles mirror our own.
We all have light and shadow. The parts we show and the parts we hide. The winter solstice gives us a framework to work with both, as practical inner work.
Why shadow work?
We learn early which parts of us are acceptable. Maybe anger wasn't allowed. Or sadness. Or being too much. So we push those parts down. The problem? Those parts don't disappear. They just run in the background, using up energy. Keeping you smaller than you actually are.
Shadow work is simple: look at what you've been avoiding. Not to wallow. Just to see it, feel it, and take back the energy you've been spending to keep it hidden. The result? More energy. More range. More access to your full self.
We run the retreat in German. If English speakers join, we switch to English or go bilingual so everyone understands.

What actually happens
14:00 to 17:00. Three focused hours.
Grounding: You land in your body and get clear on what you're here for.
Breathwork: A powerful technique that shifts your nervous system out of thinking mode and into feeling mode. This isn't relaxation breathing. It's activating.
Movement: You work somatically, through the body, not just the mind. Release tension and let your body show you what it's holding.
Shadow and Light practices: Meet the parts you've pushed away. Not with heaviness, but with curiosity. What's there? What does it want?
Support: Doro supports you with essential oils and grounding touch throughout.
Integration: We close with a ritual that honors both sides, shadow and light.
You leave with something tangible: more space, more energy, and a felt sense of being more whole.
Is this for you?
Come if you're:
The practices are body-based. The results are practical. The solstice framework gives us structure for the work.
