Frequently Asked Questions

What format are the guides in? +
All guides are delivered as high-quality PDF files. They're designed to be read on any device (phone, tablet, computer) and are also optimized for printing so you can work through exercises by hand.
Do I need prior experience with shadow work? +
No. Each guide includes introductory context so beginners can follow along. However, the depth of the exercises means experienced practitioners will find plenty of advanced material as well. The 30-Day Journal is especially good for beginners, while the Archetype Field Guide serves as a comprehensive reference at any level.
Can I print the guides? +
Absolutely. All guides are designed with print-ready formatting. We recommend printing on standard letter-size paper. The worksheets and journal pages are specifically formatted so you can fill them in by hand after printing.
Is shadow work a replacement for therapy? +
No. Our guides are educational and self-reflective tools, not a substitute for professional mental health support. Shadow work can complement therapy beautifully, and many therapists recommend structured shadow work alongside clinical treatment. If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, please reach out to a licensed professional.
How do I access my purchase? +
