Our world is exploding in a shadow orgy that is both bewildering and terrifying. But it is crucial that each of us be able to step back and recognize that this is the prelude to the birth of a new humanity.

Diamonds in the Dark:
Transformative Shadow Work for Our Time
with Andrew Harvey
A 3-Day Weekend Celebration Retreat with Four LIVE Sessions
December 4th through December 6th
*** Optional Bonus Integration Sessions ***
In this unique 3-day retreat, Andrew will relate a powerful transmission: that authentic enlightened consciousness is a fusion of the wisdom of the serpent and the innocence of the dove—a deep and unflinching knowledge of the shadow in all of its ambiguities and lethal force with the radiant joy, hope and peace of mystical awakening.
These classes go even further than previous classes Andrew has taught. They represent the crystallization of his 40-year journey in evolutionary mysticism.
Join him for this uniquely empowering adventure. It can change your whole understanding of life at this moment in history.

What You'll Learn in This Course
Session #1 Finding the Diamonds in the Darkness of our Global Dark Night
In our inaugural session, we will talk about the Global Dark Night, 5 structural shadows of the Global Dark Night and the diamond opposites hidden in their dark depths that we need to see, seize, celebrate and integrate. Andrew will reveal our Global Dark Night as a Savage Grace. If we can align with its essential laws, it is capable of birthing us into the next level of our evolutionary destiny.
Session #2 Mystical Inspiration from Rumi and Kabir, the Great Alchemists of the Dark Night and Open Integration
An hour of questions and integration followed by poems of Rumi and Kabir on the diamonds hidden in the shadow, the Tibetan practices of Tonglen which Andrew has adapted for transformative shadow work and taught all over the world.
Session #3 – Becoming a Diamond Through Facing the Shadows of the Dark Night
In this session drawing on great evolutionary mystics and psychologists such as Sri Aurobindo and Carl Jung and his own experience, Andrew will explore in detail the 5 devastating shadows that the Black Diamond of the Dark Night radiates. He will also illustrate in depth how making each of these shadows conscious liberates sacred energy, restores resilience, releases us from demented judgement and exaggerated and pointless fear. He will demonstrate how the facing of what seems impossible to accept introduces you to a self that is nobler, finer, braver and far wiser than you could have ever met without such an ordeal.
Session #4 – Turning our 7 Essential Shadows of the Human Condition into Sources of Wisdom and Empowerment
In this final session Andrew will identify the 7 essential shadows that every human being has now to address in the prevailing desperation, corruption and separation of our current condition. Devastating though these shadows seem to be, each one of them reveals when made conscious a hidden diamond of truth. Jesus said fuse together the wisdom of the serpent and the innocence of the dove. What Andrew will demonstrate is how to hold your human self in the arms of your Divine self so that you do not need to deny how sick and traumatized your human self is and so you can radiate to your human battered, miserable, chaotic self the peace, compassion, humor and joy of the Divine nature you know you are one with. Through this extraordinary experience Andrew will show how to become a Divine alchemist of your own engoldenment, a Mother/Father to yourself and to all others.
After the retreat consider joining me for three crucial integration sessions.
In three integration sessions we will work with the teachings from this class at a deep and intimate level. Each of us awakens to our transfigured being in unique ways with our own karmic and traumatized blocks. What will unfold in these sessions is the amazing richness of all of our shared experience.
In a truly evolved integration session, everyone—including myself—is taken through the practice of sacred dialogue to a new level of communion and emotional and spiritual depth. This practice of dialogue is a revelation that can and must be used in our ordinary lives for the wealth of our own shadows to be revealed—and for the experience of sacred friendship to be deepened. For me, working with you and with the teaching of the shadows that will arise in the content of our shared, exploding global dark night will be a humbling and thrilling experience.
I pray that this humbling and thrilling experience will also be yours. Perhaps my greatest hope for our integration sessions is that through them, a tribe, a network of sacred friends and golden shadow dancers will be formed—a group of heart friends drawn together by Divine Love that can accompany you nakedly and joyfully as you continue your journey through this great humbling work of our time.
Please join me in these integration sessions and discover for yourself, how rich, moving and inspiring this work truly is.
These 90-minute integration sessions will be held on:
January 6th
January 20th
February 3rd
Each session will start at 2pm PDT / 4pm CST
Love always,
Andrew
