Shadow Side Of Social Work: Recognizing Our Inner Gold

Instructor: Aditi Nirvaan, Founder, Shadow Mastery SchoolLanguage: English

About the course

In this short conversation, Aditi opens up a space to speak about what often remains unnamed in social work - the inner tensions, emotional residue, and unspoken patterns we carry while serving others. The session touches on what shadow work is and why it matters, especially in fields rooted in care, responsibility, and giving.

Rather than something to fix or overcome, the shadow is approached as a source of insight and honesty. By acknowledging it, we return to our work with greater clarity, humility, and a deeper connection to the inner gold that sustains us.
