Practical tips on how to integrate your shadow and become more present and powerful in the world, from Canadian psychologist and philosopher Jordan Peterson...

"Men who develop their shadow also develop a kind of peculiar grace that would be a consequence of not only allowing their aggressive side to step forward but also their feminine and compassionate side that they may have kept squelched." Many thanks to Jordan Peterson for the content - we are running events based on many of the insights of his lectures - see: www.rebelwisdom.co.uk
