The Golden Shadow Method
Omega Institute
Memorial Day Weekend 2027
May 28th - 31st
Registration opens January 2027
Join Melanie Ryan, best-selling author, Tibetan Buddhist teacher, and psychotherapist, for a weekend retreat into the “golden shadow” where your most beautiful, positive qualities are stored. Using Jungian psychology, Buddhist philosophy, and Indigenous wisdom, we will journey into the unconscious and embrace the positive qualities that are suppressed. These include our psychic abilities, our creativity, joy, and playfulness. We will transmute dark shadow blocks into light, transmuting lower frequencies into higher vibrations of love, harmony, wisdom and joy. This is a deep remembering of the powerful love and light that lives within.
