"A Shadow Wedding is an intimate ritual held before a regular
"light" wedding in which all difficult material between the
couple is welcomed. It provides a consecrated place for partners to give
voice to their darker sides, along with any doubts and fears about
committing to lifelong partnership. Through the process of creating and
participating in a Shadow Wedding, partners choose one another with eyes
wide open, seeing both the beautiful and the ugly in their beloved."
Jessica Benson, Marriage & Family Therapist and Jim Benson, Sex & Relationship Coach for men led themselves through their own Shadow Wedding in 2010. They've since become inspired to share this powerful work with others.
