Commune With Shadow
The live, year-long mastermind experience
This is where the work comes alive in real time, with real people. Join a small group of no more than 18 participants in an immersive 12-month journey with Kim. You’ll engage in monthly sessions, rotating peer practices, and group teachings designed to catalyse personal and collective healing.
You’ll receive:
-
24 hours of live Zoom calls with Kim (monthly)
-
A tightly held group container (max 18 people)
-
Monthly rhythm: 1:1 sessions, study buddy work, 4-person pods, and full group reflection
-
On-demand teachings created to meet the group’s evolution
-
A private Slack space for integration, questions, and support
Because some healing can only happen in relationship and in community
Here is the Monthly Format
• Week 1: Group training, support, and shadow work led by Kim Barta.
• Week 2: Meet with a study buddy for more intimate practice.
• Week 3: Meet in groups of 4 for expanded experiences of the work.
• Week 4: Meet with Study Buddy to refine work based upon the month.
Repeat with new wisdom, insight, training and depth.
Every 3 months you will get a new study buddy.
Why 3 months? We believe 3 months is the optimum amount of time needed to build trust. This trust will carry on through the rest of the program. This ongoing trust and intimate understanding of each study buddy builds depth.
Changing partners provides variety (the spice of life). New connections bring new awareness. This helps to broaden your work.
Many choose to continue to meet with their original study buddies in addition to their new ones, deepening their relationship and shadow skills throughout the rest of the year.
Every 3 months, you will have a new group of 4 to meet with. This will provide a variety of mini-group experiences.
In this way you will work more intimately with every member of the larger group by the end of the year.
It will give you skills to work through issues like:
Awareness
Resilience
Discernment
Compassion
Presence
Integration
Connection
Authenticity
Clarity
Wholeness

Why join the Commune With Shadow: Master Mind Shadow Group?
The Benefits of Joining
Life has its ups and downs and when you're down, it's natural to need support.
While family and friends may try to be there for you, sometimes they can’t hold the depth of what you’re going through. Other times, their support is well-meaning but misplaced reinforcing blame, ego, or avoidance instead of growth and healing.
In Communing With Shadow, you’ll find a different kind of support.
🔹 Heal the Wounds That Keep Repeating
Learn how to identify and resolve the unconscious patterns that cause recurring challenges in your life — so you can stop reliving the same pain in different forms.
🔹 Transform from the Inside Out
This isn’t surface work. It’s a deep, integrative process that brings lasting change — not by fixing who you are, but by integrating all of who you are.
🔹 Feel Understood, Even When Others Don’t Get It
When your family, friends, or colleagues don’t understand your healing path, this group will. You’ll be met with compassion, depth, and real presence.
🔹 Be Held in Unconditional Love
You’ll have a space where it’s safe to be seen including the parts you’ve hidden or judged. This container offers full acceptance, not performance-based approval.
🔹 Bring Your Darkness Into the Light
Your shadows will be welcomed here. Not as flaws to fix — but as parts to meet, hold, and heal through wise, loving presence.
🔹 Explore the Parts You’ve Hidden (Even From Yourself)
Together, we’ll uncover the patterns, emotions, and inner truths that have remained buried and help you move through them with skill and grace.
🔹 Receive Skilled, Professional Guidance
With Kim’s decades of experience in shadow work and developmental therapy, you can trust that this process is guided with care, depth, and psychological safety.
🔹 Experience Real Belonging
This isn’t just a group. It’s a community. A place where your full self is welcome and where others are walking the same courageous path beside you.
🔹 Be Witnessed in Wholeness
You’ll no longer have to split yourself to be accepted. In this group, all of you belongs the light and the shadow, the fear and the strength, the doubt and the desire.
🔹 Feel Supported in a New Way
In a world full of expectations and roles to perform, being in a space of radical acceptance and honest healing can be life-changing.
Only 16 participant spaces available per cohort
This group is intentionally small to preserve the depth of connection, the safety of the space, and the quality of support. If this program is calling to you, trust that and take your next step.
What previous mastermind members have said about the experience...
"Kim's work is a gift from the heart. Kim's compassionate and engaging presence provides precisely what is needed when doing the hard work of healing.”
- Stephanie Morrison
"I have worked Kim for many years, both one on one and in workshops. He has been the most impactful therapist, guide and coach I have ever worked with. His power comes from his many years of lived experience and wisdom, both professionally and personally, coupled with his unique gift of knowing how to meet you where you are and expertly support and guide you in your own healing and growth. He brings no ego nor agenda other than simply wanting to help you find greater peace and happiness."
- Karen Peterson
“Compassion. Awareness. Play. Creativity. Presence. Honor. Intuition. Strength. Laughter. Sensitivity. Intelligence. Understanding. Respect. These and so many other words describe my experience of Kim Barta during the years I have known him. More than just exhibiting these qualities himself, though, he is committed to supporting the emergence of these qualities in others. I feel fortunate, blessed even, that I’ve had the opportunity to participate in his workshops and private coaching/mentoring sessions with him. He has been an invaluable guide, consistently and sensitively orienting me toward my own experience and knowledge. And at the same time, he’s been an innovative teacher, always willing to answer questions and share his considerable understanding of integral models of human development, which is based on decades of his counseling, coaching, parenting, and personal experience. Our forays into more profound, more authentic ways of ‘Being’ have not only been a pleasure but also a treasure of immeasurable value to me. I couldn’t recommend Kim more highly!”
- D.J.
“Kim provides a very defined and clear framework for the shadow process, knows how to hold a very loving and gentle space for learning, and is very clear and eloquent in his explanations of concepts.
-Roby M.
