Critics Review
Truly healing our wounds means inviting all our foul-mouthed monsters to come sit with us; to share their bitter wisdom, no matter how wicked that wisdom may be. Shadow work is gnarly, wild work. It is the work of secrets, the most important work we will ever do. In this book, Ora North expertly maps a journey of integration, a wilderness guide for those seeking a genuine encounter with both the wound and the gift, the fertile dark and the hallowed light that make for a life well-lived. * Danielle Dulsky, author of The Night House, The Holy Wild, and Bones & Honey *
‘Shadow work’ is a buzz term and seems to be all the rage. The key to shadow work is that it requires just that: work. Folks don’t want to do the work. They bypass. Throw love and light at the wound and call themselves healed. Ora has a voice that roars. Shadow Work for Core Wounds does not allow you to bypass your wounds, your shadow, or yourself. Ora breaks down integration and emotional alchemy in a way that is palpable, palatable, and most importantly, practical. You’ll be given the tools to face your deepest shadows. * Jaclyn Cherie, creator of Algorithm Magick, folk herbalist, magickal consultant, ordained minister, word alchemist, Usui reiki master, author, and editor at Girl God Books *
Ora, in her signature, magical way, has yet again opened the portal to individual and collective healing. In Shadow Work for Core Wounds, she invites us into wholeness by working with the power of archetypes, uprooting our shadow parts, and ‘tending to the soil of our souls.’ I highly recommend this book for all who are committed to doing their inner work as part of the collective healing needed in these times. * Pamela Kowal, MS, LMFT Emeritus, therapeutic coach, reiki and energy practitioner, and Tarot consultant *
Ora North
Ora North is a spiritual teacher and mental health advocate. While very involved in the spiritual community, North does not subscribe to the “love and light” or “good vibes only” mentality that can often whitewash or bypass the very real struggles of the marginalized. Because of this, her focus is on shadow work and promoting the acceptance and validation of all our feelings–not just the positive ones–as tools for growth. She is author of I Don’t Want to Be an Empath Anymore and Mood Magick.
