Personal growth consultant Leon Itskov combines the insights of the astrological chart with shadow work to help people live their full potential. His monthly Men’s Shadow-Work Group brings men together in a safe space to work on their “shadow”, which refers to the aspects of themselves that have been repressed, denied or hidden from conscious awareness. Through group discussion, experiential exercises, embodiment work and individual reflection, participants learn to identify and understand the underlying causes of their struggles and gain tools to address them. The next meeting begins at 9:15 a.m. on April 27.

Itskov offers evolutionary astrology sessions, as well as four types of one-on-one consultations: Inner Work, Natal Study and One Year Ahead, Relationship Dynamic, and Astrocartography. He considers Inner Work the most impactful, especially on a weekly or biweekly basis. “Our unhealed traumas hold us back, keep us small and controlled,” he says. “Once faced and healed, the energy previously blocked by it is amply available for necessary growth, expansion, integration and self-realization.”
