| During this powerful retreat, graduates of the BreakThrough Weekend take a further step in their personal growth.
Supported by weekend leaders and each other, they undertake the challenge of confronting their “shadows,” the parts of their inner being that they have worked to conceal from themselves and the world, those that cause them shame and erode their sense of self-worth. By looking deep within and bringing the shadow into the light of day, they begin to recognize its silent influence on their thoughts and actions. At the same time, they rediscover qualities that have been held in check by the shadow - golden qualities that were with them when they came into the world.
When the Shadow Weekend concludes, each man leaves with a deeper understanding of his dark side and a greater power to loosen its grip on his life.
“I didn’t want to look at myself because I was afraid of what I’d find. But the weekend helped me replace my fear with confidence and calm. It was a powerful and positive experience.” S.R. - Weekend Participant
