Marianne Hill – Lead Trainer

Marianne Hill – Lead Trainer

Marianne is the founder and director of Healing The Shadow and is present on all training weekends

"I believe that becoming a confident and competent practitioner requires a journey into radical self-love, self-acceptance, self-care and self-compassion. At the same time it requires a constant turning towards one’s own shadows - the dark roots of one’s psyche - and a meeting of oneself in this place.

To be truly trusted with another’s heart and soul one must know one’s own heart and soul - both the light and the dark."

"I am passionate about supporting people to live their best lives. I have a background in youth and community work and have been involved in men’s work for over 15 years.

I see shadow work as one of the best modalities for helping people let go of limiting beliefs, heal old wounds and transform the conditioning and stories that hold them back from fully claiming the life and relationships they deserve."
