REGISTER FOR FREE TODAY →There’s a part of us that longs to be seen—and another that quietly believes we are only lovable if we show up a certain way.
This free two-part workshop series is an invitation to explore both.
We’ll journey into the shadow: the hidden, exiled, and often misunderstood parts of ourselves that shape how we relate, protect, and operate in the world unconsciously.
Then we’ll turn toward love—not the performance of it, but the kind that grows when we stop abandoning ourselves in pursuit of being accepted.
This is for anyone who’s done the work of self-development but still feels an ache for something deeper.
A love that includes all of you.
A seeing that doesn’t require you to perform, fake, or manipulate others to feel love, connection & belonging in your life.

"I have a much deeper understanding of shadow work after working with Maanee and Christian.
They hold a rare balance between structure and fluidity—the framework of shadow work held alongside the attunement, slowness, and deep listening of somatics. It’s a powerful combination: being inside the intensity of the circle while still feeling met, seen, and held.
There’s a real sense that they know exactly what they’re doing. That kind of integrity creates a deep trust in the process.

"I’ve been leading programs for 20 years, and working with Maanee and Christian has been extraordinary.
If you have the chance—make the time. Show up. This work is absolutely worth your energy and presence. It will challenge you, grow you, and uplevel everything you bring to your life and leadership.
I’m deeply grateful."
Some parts of us were labeled too much—too loud, too needy, too wild, too soft. So we learned to hide them. In this first workshop, we’ll gently turn toward those hidden places.
You’ll be introduced to the shadow:
The parts of ourselves we exiled in order to belong.
We’ll explore how our “constructed self” formed—not from deceit, but from the deep intelligence of needing to belong. As children, we shaped a version of ourselves the world could accept. A Mask that kept us safe.
This session Join Maanee Chrystal as she guides you into a deep sense of safety within yourself to start to get honest about what we are hiding, why and how to come back into connection & aliveness with all of who we are.
There are parts of us we’ve hidden so deeply, we’ve forgotten they exist—parts that once reached for love and were met with silence or shame. In this second workshop, we enter the relational field of tribe and gently begin to bring those parts into the light.
Where the first session explored why we created a Mask, this one invites a direct, felt experience of what happens when we stop performing—and allow ourselves to be truly witnessed.
Guided by Christian Pankhurst, you’ll move through a Heart iQ process and take a small but powerful step: to reveal what you usually hide. To be seen not for what you do, but for who you are beneath the surface.
This isn’t about oversharing. It’s about slowing down, speaking truth, and letting the field meet you.
Suzanna
"There’s a version of me before working with Christian and Maanee—and a version after. And the difference feels powerful.
Being in the presence of their work leaves me utterly grateful.
Whenever two powerful forces come together, something big happens. I love how Maanee brings the feminine, the slowing down, the depth—and how Christian brings his brilliance with circles and structure. The combination has brought so much richness and transformation into my life.
I’m genuinely excited to see how their imprint continues to shape both my personal and professional life.
If you’re someone who wants to live a full, meaningful life—especially if you work with others and carry the responsibility of holding space—working with Maanee and Christian is a must."
Jerry
"I’ve always had a deep interest in shadow work—but I was missing some of the tools.
Bringing the shadow into a group context showed me something vital: how important it is to do this work in connection with others. Shame can isolate us. But when we're witnessed—really felt—it changes everything.
Working with Maanee and Christian has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. I now feel equipped to meet my own shadows with loving awareness, and I know that will ripple into every part of my life.
Christian is an absolute genius in his craft. And Maanee brings a somatic depth I didn’t even realize I was craving.
I would highly recommend working with them. Their transmission of shadow work is unlike anything else out there."
