What if your shadow holds the keys to deeper healing and connection?

Mary Mueller Shutan, author and spiritual teacher, joins Lisa to explore animism, shamanism, and shadow work as pathways into embodiment and wholeness. They discuss how disconnection in our culture fuels spiritual sickness, how reconnecting with the natural world restores balance, and why shadow work reveals the unconscious patterns shaping our lives. Through stories and practices, Mary brings clarity to working with archetypes, emotions, and the nervous system.

This conversation invites you to embrace both light and shadow, reclaim your innate wisdom, and live more fully in the present moment. True transformation begins not with escape, but with deep connection to yourself, your body, and the world around you.
