This interdisciplinary course delves into the profound realms of the human psyche, drawing upon the pioneering work of Carl Jung, the transformative potential of psychedelics, and the intersection of the two worlds. Participants will embark on a journey to understand the concept of the "Shadow" – the hidden, unconscious aspects of the personal psyche and the collective – and explore how psychedelics can serve as tools to illuminate and integrate these often-neglected facets of our being.

The concept of the Shadow originates from the work of Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung. In Jungian psychology, the Shadow represents the unconscious or repressed parts of the psyche. It's essentially the "dark side" of our personality: the hidden, unacknowledged, and often repressed aspects of oneself. This includes desires, fears, instincts, and behaviors that one might find disturbing or undesirable.
The Shadow isn't just negative and dark, as many portray it as. It can also contain positive traits that were suppressed during early development due to societal or familial pressures. For instance, a person might suppress their artistic talents because their family values more "practical" professions.

In 2016, Kyle Buller and Joe Moore co-founded Psychedelics Today, one of the world’s leading psychedelic media and education companies. Kyle's interest in exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness began at the age of 16 when he suffered a traumatic snowboarding accident. After this near-death experience, Kyle’s life changed dramatically. Kyle subsequently earned his B.A. in Transpersonal Psychology from Burlington College, where he focused on studying the healing potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness by exploring shamanism, Reiki, local medicinal plants and plant medicine, Holotropic Breathwork, and psychedelic psychotherapy. Kyle has been studying Dreamshadow Transpersonal breathwork with Lenny and Elizabeth since October 2010.
Kyle earned his M.S. in clinical mental health counseling with an emphasis in somatic psychology from Prescott College. Kyle’s clinical background in mental health consists of working with at-risk teenagers in crisis and with individuals experiencing an early episode of psychosis and providing counseling to undergraduate/graduate students in a university setting.

By trade, Mackenzie is a Jungian psychotherapist, consultant, & 5Rhythms® teacher. By vocation, she is a psychedelic facilitator, depth psychology scholar, and writer. By design, she is a collection of fractal, holographic cells dancing around some strange attractor for the sake of who knows what to live an insignificant, mythic life reflective of the mysterious vital spark within her. She identifies as a series of memories & unverifiable subjective experiences of self-hood to which she is rather fondly attached. She has a penchant for scholarship, the occult, pedantic erudition, morbid humor, grandiosity, nihilism, & semi-responsible hedonism. Born in the shadow of New Age culture into a fractured family system & the subjective experiencer of (arguably) extreme early childhood trauma, her life’s work is to heal psychic wounds – her’s and other’s – that she & others become strong enough to contend with the unconscious quicksands and transpersonal abysses which lap at the periphery of developing consciousness. She is an emergent property of Being playing at becoming sovereign. She really, really loves butter.

COURSE INFO
About the course
In the vast landscape of the human psyche, there lies a hidden realm known as the Shadow. This is the part of ourselves that we often deny or suppress, the aspects we're unaware of, yet they influence our behaviors, relationships, and life choices. Psychedelics, on the other hand, have been used for millennia as tools for deep introspection, healing, and spiritual growth. When combined, the exploration of the Jungian Shadow through the lens of psychedelics offers a profound journey into self-awareness and transformation.
Advanced Shadow Work and Psychedelic Integration: A Jungian Path to Wholeness is an 8-week live online course that will be hosted and facilitated by Dr. Ido Cohen and Kyle Buller.
During the course, students will explore in depth Jung's cartography and structure of the psyche, reviewing the structure of the psyche, with its archetypal shadow, complexes, shadow work, and integration. The group will engage with the Shadow archetype as it lives in them, and learning how to apply Depth psychology to the psychedelic experience. We will also explore Somatic and Archetypal approaches to understanding the psychedelic experience and its integration.
As we get close to the solstice, class will explore integration of shadow as well as golden shadow - embodying our repressed and unknown gifts and our path.
This course will blend theory, application, and experiential learning to facilitate an embodied learning and exploration process.
As Fall and Winter slowly approach, this is will be the perfect time to turn your attention inward, exploring your process and practice. This course includes access to our “Psychedelics and the Shadow: The Shadow Side of Psychedelia” course, reading and video material, and an active workbook for the course.
