Gifted feminine shame is the painful, complex experience that arises when our uncommon intuitive, relational, creative, and embodied ways of knowing are repeatedly met with rejection, exploitation, or silence. Over time and across generations, these layers of shame become deeply woven within the gifted female psyche, making it difficult to get in touch with, even after years of inner work.

 

When it comes to chronic shame, insight alone is rarely enough. It lives in the body, the imagination, and the protective patterns through which we have come to see ourselves and show up in the world. In this way, shame suppresses our vitality and obscures our capacity to fully inhabit and express our gifts.

 

In this 3.5 hour workshop led by Kelly Pryde, we co-create a supportive container for exploring the layers of chronic shame woven within the gifted female psyche. We engage the fuller range of gifted knowing to journey into the imaginal realm where embodied mindfulness invites us into a dialogue with the symbolic images that arise around gifted feminine shame. Together, psyche, symbolic image, and our shared participation become compassionate mirrors, allowing what has remained hidden to be witnessed and welcomed into lived expression. This process supports greater access to the wisdom, vitality and freedom to participate more fully in our gifted lives.

​

During our time, we'll explore themes including:

​

• the Greek myth of Medusa as a symbolic portal into the personal and collective layers of gifted feminine shame
   

• chronic shame as soul injury and the restoration of relationship and inner aliveness 
   

• Embodied Imaginal Mindfulness ~ a practice rooted in CG Jung's active imagination for deepening imaginal intelligence and medial ways of knowing as gifted women that support symbolic, embodied relationship
   

• the transformative role of archetypal images, story, and compassionate witnessing for gifted becoming

*Readiness to Participate

 

This workshop is for women who are at a place in their gifted development where they are emotionally resourced and able to explore this topic in a generative way with their peers. It is requested that participants be present with their video on and engaged for the duration of the workshop.

 

We will be exploring the unconscious psyche, which can be destabilizing for those struggling with emotional overwhelm or nervous system dysregulation. While all of our offerings are trauma-informed, we do not address strategies for traumatic stress. If you are just starting out on your gifted discovery/recovery journey or are struggling with social safety, this may not be the right time for this exploration. Please check with your care provider if you are unsure about your readiness to participate.
