The Golden Shadow Method

THE GOLDEN SHADOW METHOD

THE THREE PILLARS

24 private sessions live on Zoom with Melanie Ryan

The Golden Shadow Method is based on Jungian psychology, Eastern philosophy, and indigenous wisdom. It focuses on bringing what is hidden in the unconscious into the light of awareness. Self exploration and realization brings about transformation in your life and awakens higher states of consciousness, increases your psychic and creative abilities, and brings healing to all of humanity.
