The Heart of Shadow for Women
A 9-week Shadow Work Women's Circle & Live RetreatMarch 23rd - May 25th, 2026

Face Your Forgotten Feminine.
Embrace the Parts You Were Taught to Tame.
Awaken Your Embodied Power.
The shadow is not the enemy. It’s the sacred repository of our unclaimed power, passion, and truth. When we turn toward these places — with courage, compassion, and sisterhood — we unlock the very energy we’ve been longing for. This is also the shakti the world has been waiting for, in these transformational times which call for feminine leadership.
Through this process of seeing, feeling, and integrating what was once disowned, we reclaim our full expression. We come home to ourselves. We come alive.
The Heart of Shadow for Women is a 9-week journey to meet your shadows with love and awaken your inner power.
You’ll be guided through nine virtual sessions and a 3.5-day in-person retreat, held in a fiercely supportive container co-led by Jason Lange, Luke Adler, and Violet Lange.
This journey is not about fixing yourself — it’s about finding yourself. Throughout these nine weeks, you’ll be guided through practices, rituals, and embodied experiences designed to help you meet your shadows and integrate them into wholeness.
You’ll emerge with a deeper connection to your body, your truth, and your life force — and with a circle of women who see you fully and stand with you as you rise.
Signs of Shadow
You may feel called to The Heart of Shadow for Women if you recognize yourself in some of these patterns:
You silence your truth
You shrink your power
You say yes when your intuition screams no
You feel anger or rage rising but don’t know how to express it healthily
You carry deep shame around your body and desires
You overgive or overfunction to earn love through care or achievement
You envy other women’s freedom or success, while doubting your own worth
You find yourself in repeating patterns in love, friendship, or work — and can’t seem to break free
You feel disconnected from your wildness and pleasure
You shield yourself from being vulnerable or soft…it’s hard to open & receive
You carry a low hum of unease or self-criticism
The Awaiting Treasures
More vitality, energy, and aliveness
A more relaxed body resulting in more ease for yourself and others around you
More authentic & deeper connections with those most important to you in life
The ability to stay relaxed, grounded, and open no matter the situation
A deeper capacity to consciously respond to the moment, instead of just reacting to it
Spaciousness around addictions and compulsions powered by unmet shadow needs
Lead with sensitivity without losing strength or power
Express anger without losing your heart
Express your heart without losing your balls
Release your armor without collapsing your boundaries
Cut through what stops you from expressing raw masculine power
This is the heart of shadow work for women: not becoming someone new, but remembering the fierce, wise, turned on and radiant woman you’ve always been.
Sisterhood: The Power of the Circle
Shadow work becomes even more potent when explored in the presence of others. In The Heart of Shadow for Women, you’ll be held in a circle of courageous women — each walking her own path of truth, healing, and reclamation.
When we come together in this way, something sacred happens: Our shadows soften in the light of shared humanity. Our stories untangle. Our hearts remember that we are not alone.
The sisterhood forged through this work is unlike anything most women experience in ordinary life. It’s a field of honesty, reverence, and fierce love — where masks drop, laughter and tears coexist, and deep trust is born.
Our intention is for this program to be the beginning of a lifelong connection between you and the women who walk beside you. Having a circle of sisters who truly see you — who can hold you through your rage, your grief, your beauty, and your becoming — can transform not just your relationships, but your entire life.

Your Guides
The Heart of Shadow for Women is lovingly co-led by Violet Lange, Jason Lange, and Luke Adler, a facilitation team that brings decades of experience in shadow work, embodiment, and relational healing. Together, they hold a powerful balance of masculine and feminine energies, and the wisdom of integration between them.
Violet brings deep attunement to the feminine journey, helping women reclaim voice, body, and belonging through love-based presence, lineage healing, and embodied sensuality and will be the primary lead of the women's circle.
Jason and Luke offer grounded masculine containment and unwavering clarity, creating a field of safety where the deepest emotions can unfold without judgment and will be focused on leading the shadow work.
In this shared container, the masculine does not dominate and the feminine does not collapse. Instead, both dance in harmony, allowing you to explore your edges, express your truth, and feel profoundly supported in your rebirth.
This is not a space of hierarchy, but of humanity and humility, where we meet each other heart-to-heart, shadow-to-shadow, and rise together into greater wholeness.

Testimonials
I joined the Shadow Work Women’s Retreat in 2022 during a time of post-COVID isolation and disconnection—from myself and others. What unfolded in that small group of women was profound. I felt safe, heard, and respected. The healing was both personal and collective, as we witnessed and supported each other’s growth.
The space was held with rare intuition and care, creating a container that allowed for transformation. Through the Shadow Work and my own spiritual practices, I’ve become more authentically myself—more emotionally grounded, able to respond with presence rather than react from old patterns, and able to connect with friends and family with vulnerability and empathy.
This work isn’t easy—it asks you to lean into the edgy, unpolished, scary parts of yourself. But that’s where the real transformation lives. This kind of community fosters ongoing growth, and I’m grateful to still be journeying with my women’s group. If you’re ready to meet yourself and others in truth and compassion, this work is a powerful place to begin.
Being in a women's group three years ago was life changing. It truly accelerated my soul-growth. I was able to shift "old, untrue" beliefs about myself. Changing my inner perspective opened the door to making outer changes in positive ways. I began to take better care of myself (both emotionally and physically), to expand my business, and to enjoy deeper heart-connection with people and animals.
My gratitude for that inspiring experience is boundless.I always felt the facilitators had my back, without any judgment or pressure to do more than what felt comfortable to me. They created an atmosphere within the group of safety, trust and gentle nurturing. This allowed me to accept support from others in the group and learn from their work as well. The women in that group have become my dearest friends!
In the process of my shadow work I not only learned about the depth of who I was but also who I am now. I connected with other women on a deeper level than I ever realized was possible, through true authenticity. I also learned the amazing skill of how to communicate and stay connected when discord came up.
When working one-on-one with the facilitator and within the women’s group, I always felt safe and supported. The facilitation demonstrates exceptional intuition, presence, and sensitivity—offering gentle encouragement and personalized guidance throughout each experience. I came to the women's shadow work group feeling for so long that I needed to hide my true self to everyone around me, and even myself, for all the faults I carried in my narrative. During the shadow work I quickly felt embraced and accepted which allowed me to see that my true self as a whole included beauty, joy, anger and sorrow all of which I could finally embrace.
Before Shadow workI felt lonely inside my own mind and body, struggling to "fix" what was broken on my own. After, I realized there wasn't anything to fix, it was about embracing who I was, all the parts of me and recognized how skewed my narrative of self had been. It was the support and love from the facilitator and the other women that I was able to see the love within me to break open to be my true self.
