Is Your Shadow Self In Control?

This is a conversation about the shadow part of our selves.  Lottie Spady and I discuss the book Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott, Ph.D. "Until you make the unconscious, conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate."  C.G.Jung The shadow is our hidden beliefs that can prohibit us from achieving our conscious goals.  Even the best affirmations may not get past the shadow  to achieve your goals. Featuring poetry by Khalil Gibran. Lottie V. Spady , Community Educator, Wellness Media Maker, and Practicing Herbalist is the founder of Earthseed Detroit, an educational community health program that is focused on imagining and co-creating the afro-future of our health through love, wellness, respect, and deep joy. Earthseed Detroit centers social justice, community empowerment, health, local access and affordability through healthy media making, herbalism for healing, medicinal plant identification, foraging, gardening and the creation of wellness supports such as tea blends, tinctures, elixirs and salves.  Founded in 2014, Earthseed Detroit evolved from fifteen years in Detroit activism, non-profit management, and program direction with workshop facilitation working specifically with children, teens and adults to promote, educate, and empower communities at the intersections of media justice, food justice, environmental justice, community health, and civic engagement. Lottie currently teaches “Do It Yourself Community Health” classes in seasonal plant identification, herbal formulations and medicine making, and wild edible cooking. Other courses include  herbs and tarot, plants as spiritual allies, and self-development through vision collage. She also holds sacred space for nature based healing retreat work, camping/glamping, outdoor education and botanical studies in rural Michigan.  To connect with Lottie, reach out at EarthseedDetroit on all the socials.
