SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY FOR NEURODIVERGENT ARTISTS & HEALERS

Shadow Play

Hone your intuition. Pace your body. Express your soul.

I couldn’t find a community where I could safely BE

I felt too practical for spiritual spaces and too intuitive for creative spaces. As an autistic and neurodivergent person, I longed for a space where I could be equal parts mystical soul, imperfect human, and sensitive body.

I mourned programs that sold me on “community,” only to have relationships fizzle out once the program ended. I wanted ongoing, committed practice community to play in portals of consciousness. I yearned for long-term kinship and accountability.

I wanted to my blend deep shadow/essence work with presence, play, and rest. This vision to gently build nervous system resilience means we get show up more authentically and courageously in life, love, and work.

 

…so I created it.

In April 2023, I began Shadow Play to bring experimentation and play back into healing. I wanted spirituality to feel less serious and more embodied through an intimate incubator.

Every month, through neuro-affirming and trauma-informed meditation voyages, somatic practices, and creative workshops, I guide you into ease to transcend what you think in order to meet what you know in your body and soul.

This community is a safe haven for the world-builders, the healing healers, and the seers ready to be seen. I invite you to come home to what you sense, what needs your attention, what truly matters—right now, today.

Founder of Shadow Play

Low investment.

High reward.

In Shadow Play, less is more, by design. Instead of overwhelming you with hundreds of resources to choose from and a jam-packed schedule you’ll feel guilty for missing, I host 3-4 intuitively selected practices, workshops, or social events per month designed to meet you in the energy of the communal or collective moment.

These live, experiential sessions allow you to carve out a few hours a month to root into yourself and be in genuine community with multi-faceted humans navigating similar matters of body and soul. Presence, play, and permission to BE? Yes, please.

Each workshop offers mastermind-level intuitive training for a tiny fraction of the cost of a high-ticket program. Can you feel your jaw unclench yet?

We are ever-evolving humans healing through embodiment, play, and connection.

We’re multi-dimensional, tender souls who know staying grounded and connected to community is vital to our well-being, creative expression, and purpose in the world.

What Shadow Play isn’t:

❌ self care and spirituality that feels performative or out of touch with what you truly need as a neurodivergent or creative person
