What previous 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Requirements for successful certification completion
To complete your certification you must:
- Complete all tasks and assignments.
- Produce at least 12 vidoes of your work with clients: One video/month.
- Share these videos with Kim for feedback.
- Review the feedback from Kim: Recieve feedback skillfully and demonstrate you can apply it in your next session.
- At least 8 of the last 10 videos must pass acceptable professional standards as approved by Kim.
- You can do more videos to pass, but there are additional fees for additional reviews. That being said, I have run similar courses and most people do not need to do additional sessions.
- You will provide self-feedback using the feedback form provided. This self-feedback needs to be honest, accurate, and beneficial for 8 out of the last 10 videos. I will correct any illusions of grandeur, illusions of failure, and lack of insight.
- In 8 out of the last 10 videos, you must demonstrate the ability to accurately provide feedback to your study buddies. I will use the same standards for your feedback for others as I use for your self-feedback: I support honesty and awareness over playing nice, playing mean, and limited observation.
- This is a course that is transformational for yourself as well as your clients. It is rigorous, and it is high quality. You need to be ready to be honest with yourself and honest with others, receive positive and negative feedback with grace, and demonstrate the ability to apply the feedback successfully in sessions. You also need to provide honest feedback, both positive and constructive. No nice, no mean, just honest with a heart of love, support, and confidence that you and your peers are capable of this level of deep authenticity.
Payment information:
- Payments are $650/month.
- The Reservation fee guarantees you a slot at the early bird price but is also subject to the terms listed above.
- The reservation fee can be deducted from the full purchase price or reimbursed upon receipt of the full purchase price.
Additional/Incidental expenses:
Additional expences:
- Expences to set up your system so it looks professional. This usually does not take a lot of time and effort, but I do expect a professional setting.
- You may need to order Zoom or another protected video conference system. If you are going to work with shadows, it is ethical to ensure confidential video experiences. Zoom meets the professional criteria for security and confidentiality. There may be others.
- If you need or want additional support beyond the standard course support I provide, you can purchase them at $450/session.
Acceptance Criteria:
You must have completed or be in the process of competing Kims Shadow Series:
