Fully Recorded for Members Use Only
In this 10-week online course, Anneke Lucas, together with Christina Merkley, pioneering Visual Coach and creator of The SHIFT-IT Visual Coaching System, guide you to clearly and compassionately meet the Dark. Within ourselves, our families, common child-rearing practices, business, academic, economic and political structures, and on the global stage.
Whether you have encountered the Dark directly, work with people who have, are close to someone who has, or want to be better informed to support familial and societal change, this workshop offers insight and tools to remain fully present, in order to accept and create change.
Through The Unconditional Model, we contemplate the global power paradigm that influences all of our lives, and bravely do our mature Inner and Outer Work.
Together we engage in Shifting the Power … through our own personal liberation, with love!
WHO THIS ONLINE GROUP IS FOR:
Given the state of the world, we are all Survivors to one extent or other.
Shifting the Power is primarily for Providers (therapists, coaches, teachers, healthcare providers, and the like) who wish to be even more trauma-informed and of assistance to traumatized populations.
This course is also for anyone personally interested in learning about and recovering from trauma and authoritarian, narcissistic abuse (in its many forms and spectrums).

ABOUT YOUR HOSTS
Anneke Lucas:
Anneke Lucas is an Author, Speaker, Advocate for child sex trafficking victims and creator of The Unconditional Model. Her work is based on her personal experience of a 30-year healing journey after surviving being sold by her family as a child sex slave to a pedophile network.
Her healing through psychotherapy, writing, yoga and meditation was synthesized during a decade of service with incarcerated populations and with survivors of sex trafficking inside and outside of prisons.
Christina Merkley:
Christina Merkley is a pioneering Graphic Facilitator and Coach, and creator of The SHIFT-IT Visual Coaching System. An early trainer in the visual industry, she’s played a role in the global spread of the specialty. A rambunctious Kundalini Rising altered her path from corporate strategy to transpersonal applications of the visual methodology.
She hosts SHIFT-IT School – an online hub for Creativity, Visual Coaching and Non-Dual Satsangs.
Shifting the Power (STP) was profoundly transformative for me, both personally and professionally. In my 13 years as a therapist, I found it to be the most deep AND safe container. Anneke and Christina have distilled a model of healing that honors the whole truth with compassion; where no part, experience, wound or distortion is beyond the healing power of love. The Unconditional Model taught in STP is trauma-informed, accessible, and soul-expansive, allowing participants to engage at their own pace and honouring personal capacity, with freedom to 'enter the river' and swim in whatever way we choose to. What sets it apart is the unity of providers and survivors, standing side by side. This training has given me hope for a better world, where we heal from the inside-out together. I witnessed the courage of fellow participants drawn to this work as a real testament to the honesty and integrity that Anneke and Christina bring into each session, using this model in such a personal and grounded way. By blending the most essential elements of parts work and shadow work, STP has a way of touching what it means to be human, where every aspect of one's core emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual experience can be seen and met in order to heal. For providers and survivors ready to compassionately confront the upward and downward projections that we all live with, I can highly recommend STP with Anneke and Christina - humble leaders, who are truly living and breathing this work. Heartfelt thanks.

This course [Shifting the Power] offers an important message for all of us to examine where we project downwards and hurt others due to our unresolved wounds — and equally where we project upward and attribute to others some of our best unclaimed qualities. Anneke teaches that full integration as a human involves a self-examination of all our known and unknown parts, and in particular, the ostracised frightened parts that get pulled into the universal power play of upwards or downwards projections. Refusing to be put on a pedestal, Anneke and Christina bring humility, honesty and integrity as they exemplify authenticity at their very best, inviting participants (and the world at large) to embrace truth and live with honour.

The grand compassity and compassion with which Christina and Anneke met my every part [during Shifting the Power, with Love], really did start an inner shift for me for which I am forever grateful. This seed of compassion will forever be with me and I´m so happy to watch it grow.
Christina´s virtuous creativity and clairsentience, Anneke´s clear language and great courage to face her darkest parts have inspired me deeply and profoundly. What was really striking is the magic of the group work. The listening and connecting to my fellow Powershifters gave me so much strength, humility and many many opportunities to look at my hidden parts in the same courageous way they did. A lot of orphaned parts surfacing in this whirlwind of a program over the last 10 weeks... and they are continuing to bravely show themselves. It´s such tough yet rewarding work. With the guidance of God and all my spiritual allies I am confident to meet them all with love.

“Shifting the Power, with Love” has absolutely created a huge shift in my own healing. Connecting to the different parts of myself and creating a space in which they can feel safe is a process that keeps rippling through. The tools make it easy to do this work on your own, with the guidance of a template and ebook. But I've also used some of the tools in my practice already, with really deep work in a surprisingly short amount of time.“

"The concepts of inner power dynamics and privilege, that you presented clearly as forces at work in the world we all live in, are so crucial for critical thinking for all of us at this time. These concepts were also inherent in the story that you shared about your life, and for me, were illuminating.”
— Lesley Becker
"As a trauma survivor myself, I don’t know how I walked into my two-day trauma conscious workshop unprepared. But I suppose that's the nature of the beast - even when you think you’re healing, there is more work to be done. And work I did during my time with Anneke and our lovely, warm, generous group of workshoppers. I rarely discuss my personal trauma outside of the confines of my therapist’s office - I’ve most definitely never shared one iota of my story with a room full of strangers. I did it, though. And even though those few words made me weep, something about those tears and the experience as a whole was cleansing. I’m different. I see the world through a shifted lens these days. Couple that with learning the language of choice and how to truly serve, and the fact remains, I am not just a better teacher, I am a better human. The work LPY does to help incarcerated men, women, and children is inspiring, and Anneke is a gift. I feel blessed to have spent two days in her presence and with our group - I only hope it's the beginning of my LPY/service journey."

"It is not necessary to be compassionate to do service – the opposite is true: service facilitates acceptance of love, which fosters compassion."
