FACING THE MINOTAUR - finding your way through the shadow.
"A curiosity to meet your shadow-self is to me, a call to wholeness. It is asking to gather all the parts of yourself into a loving gaze, a chance to repatriate the lost and wounded parts of yourself and love the whole of your being into peace."
quote from the workbook for Facing the Minotaur.

"I believe that just as a seed needs darkness in order to germinate, humans need a dark side in order to grow." quote from the workbook for Facing The Minotaur. Each of us need to learn to connect with and understand our shadow as part of the process of individuation.

Words from Facing The Minotaur Wise Women. "Jane generously offered me a spot to be one of her “test pilots” in her newly birthed offering “Facing the Minotaur; finding your way through the shadow” at a time in my personal life when I was in the thick of unearthing personal shadow material that was wreaking havoc in my life at the time. I met Jane some years back in Soulodge, and knew from my interactions with her that this offering would be not only wise and deep but heart-centered and generous. It surpassed all my expectations, the tools she provides are rich and layered, a mythical map through the labyrinth where we give attention to and have conversations with the different parts of ourselves. I found Jane’s videos to be comforting and insightful, reiterating the major areas of exploration. I felt her presence always, behind her words, watching her videos, and holding the red string as along the labyrinth path. For those that want to dive deep, this class is a radiant and powerful offering,, thank you Jane!" Katie Kendrick. USA. |

What makes Facing The Minotaur special?
Facing the Minotaur is deep dwelling work. In this world of '10 easy steps' and 'quick fix' Facing The Minotaur is the antithesis of this. It is the slow food of soul work.
The course is made so that you can have a life-long resource; a handmade and personalised shadow practise.
The depth of Facing The Minotaur allows new things to arise each time you return to the work. It uses the power of metaphor, symbol and story to reach deep into the unconscious where shadow dwells and bring just what needs to be seen to the surface.
The work is big because the conditioning we are undoing with Facing The Minotaur is cultural, multigenerational and personal. It takes work to do this work.
This course is made with Deep Rooted Love. It is made from a unique combination of psychological wisdom, ancient story, creativity and inner delving that allows doors to the unconscious to open in a variety of ways. it is a piece of inspiration that I have followed for several years now and is unique in approach and scope.

Quote from the Workbook for Facing The Minotaur.
The length and depth of Facing The Minotaur mean that you must be in a state of strength emotionally and psychically to undertake the work. You would not do a marathon if you had just had the flu, and Facing The Minotaur needs your psyche to be relatively strong. If you are feeling in a well-supported state, you have what it takes. If you are in process with a therapist of some kind it is useful to let them know about this work and engage them in your learning. If you are not well supported or unsure about the equanimity of your psyche then please consider doing this at another time. In committing to this work you are entering into an agreement with me that you believe you are up for the intensity of this work. If you have any questions about this please contact me here.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not a therapist of any kind. This work is offered human soul to human soul, seeker to seeker. I offer a way to tend to your shadow self that has worked for me and am dedicated to supporting you to learn about the gift of this work.
This is not fast food for the soul, this is deep lasting nourishment.
And that takes time.
It also requires commitment to your soul. The monetary cost of the course is $800 (NZ). The cost of the course is also that it requires something of you. It costs time and energy for you to turn up for yourself and your deeper life. It takes courage and tenacity. The prize at the end is the possibility of lovingly claiming your entire self. Having the ability to stand full centre in your life, having the capacity to claim your whole self.
You have to be willing to do the work for it to work.

Who will this work appeal to?
|
Anyone with a shadow. ha! because of course everyone has a shadow. It will especially sing to you if you are ready to make some deep change. You are ready to engage in creative ways of reaching into your inner life. You are enchanted by story. You are moved by metaphor. You are intrigued by creativity. You are willing to listen to and trust your inner voice. You want to be tended to with compassion, humour and kindness while you do your big work. You want some space to engage with your truth and discomfort. |

IMPORTANT CAVEAT: (kudos to Randi Buckley for the inspiration). Please do not purchase access to Facing the Minotaur if you feel pressured by something outside your heart's desire to turn lovingly towards your shadow. If you feel in any way pressured by what you think you should do or anything other than the natural discomfort of taking on big soul work then this offer is not for you at this time. Your desire to do this work,( even if your knees are shaking) and a sense that your psyche is strong enough to meet the unknown, is the entry level i require. This work requires clean commitment from both of us and you know your own readiness. Please listen to that.. |
And what does it cost again?
What do I need to know if I want to Face the Minotaur?
You need to have a high speed internet connection to watch the videos and the space in your life to make a regular commitment to the work. One of the Wise Council of Testers said that it helped her to say to herself 15 minutes 3 times a week and in that way she could make step after step into the process.
You will need two journals, one for writing, one for art work and some simple art supplies.
The most important requirement is courage.
The courage to show up for yourself. The courage to keep going even if it seems arduous. The courage to keep walking even if you feel unsure. I will be there for you to call on. You don't need to feel brave or be "fearless" (infact if you are fearless please stay away, i want to work with people who are self aware and unless you have sociopathic problems you will have fear), you just need to be willing to have courage. The rewards are truly worth it.
Shadow work allows us to access our magnificence and is in this way is a gift to ourselves and to the world.
quote from the workbook for Facing The Minotaur.
Your support network will notice the changes so enlisting their support is important. You may find shadow arising in yourself or others as you commit to this work - it is waiting to be seen. This work is laid out in a safe and step-wise manner and supports a healthy psyche to form a deeper connection with the self which is nourishing and wholemaking.

THIS COURSE SHIFTS IN REMARKABLE WAYS
If you are a New Zealander you will know that part of our collective cultural shadow is not blowing our own trumpet... That I even have that headline there is a ringing endorsement for this work. I am ready to sing out about this course because I believe so deeply in the power of Facing the Minotaur to shift the hard stuff. And by turning up bravely on your own behalf you will reap the benefits.
As with all deep soul work, this healing travels backwards and forwards through time.
It is possible to deal with present day shadow and deep lineage shadow using Facing The Minotaur and the pathways within this investigation.
What is in it for you Jane and what is your lineage with this work?
I stand here offering up Facing the Minotaur because I want to live in a world where there is less hard stuff. Where people feel whole. Where our collective shadow allows us to avoid some of the destruction and damage we currently engage with. Shadow work is one powerful and lasting way of shifting the hard stuff. Facing the Minotaur is a gentle and loving way into and out of shadow. I am offering this up because it has changed so much in my life for the better and it is a gift I want to share.
I stand on the shoulders of C.G.Jung, Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Robert Johnson and ancient storytellers to bring you this work. I began my conscious work with Pixie Lighthorse, to whom i am indebted. I am aware of the honour of this lineage and step up with this offer doing my best to do them proud.

In developing the gentle practice of Facing the Minotaur, I have come to see the immense strengthening and whole-making aspects of shadow work. It is why I have worked to bring this to you. This pathway re-stored me in a way nothing else has done. My wish is that it does that for you too and that you can face your shadow-self knowing there is a pathway that is gentle and safe.

"When we understand our own shadow and release the desire to hide anything “unlovable” we are freed up from struggling for control and are able to use the power we required to hide the undesirable parts of ourselves to propel us into the life of our dreams."
Quote from the workbook for Facing The Minotaur.
Can we hear from people who have done the work of Facing The Minotaur?
Sure thing. Here is what those who did the work during different stages of its' development have to say:
"Facing The Minotaur invites you to excavate your inner labyrinth. Using myth and metaphor Jane guides you through your own parable with strong imagery, meditations and exercises. If you are ready to go deep, grab this opportunity while you can. Meet your shadow with Jane's personal support, you will want to sail this ship again and again as the layers reveal themselves to you and you hunger for more."
Kim Candlish. Canada.
"Facing the Minotaur provided the stepping stones to take on the journey towards wholeness through a tantalising exploration of the shadow self. Jane's practices of noticing the shadow were gentle, the path through was about taking my time and providing myself with soul deep supportive self care. Her guidance was not prescriptive but allowed an open personal experience and felt more like being welcomed home. A welcome she encouraged me to build for myself. I was inspired to give myself my own permission to embrace that path. Jane held a collective intention for all of us, teaching us to see the potential and the possibility of both light and dark within to find where the best of ourselves awaits to be discovered. Things that have been forgotten, those left unrealised as much as those yet to be created. Her guidance supported a safe journey to explore the light that lies beyond the shadow. Taking this path in was all about looking within and opening up. When I started this work, I feared I would simply find evidence for the shadow and see only judgement, instead the opposite was true. Kindness in self care is the core of Jane's work. A beautiful wisdom, beautifully taught with warmth and tenderness."
