Shadow Work Workbook
A guided 30-day journal in a fillable PDF, with 100 original prompts for looking closely at feelings, habits and reactions that are easy to miss. The idea of "the shadow" comes from the psychiatrist Carl Jung, who used it for the feelings and traits people don't recognize in themselves. It is a writing journal, with no spiritual or religious practice in it.

Buying, downloads and refunds
Slatewise LLC makes these products. Gumroad processes each purchase as the merchant of record: it takes the payment, collects any sales tax or VAT, and sends your receipt. Prices are in US dollars, and checkout shows the total before you pay.
Everything here is a digital download, so nothing is shipped. After checkout, Gumroad shows a download button and emails you the link. If you'd rather buy on Gumroad's own site, the same products are in our Gumroad store.
Digital downloads can't be returned, exchanged or canceled. If a file won't open, a link doesn't work, or something isn't as described, write to support@slatewisestudio.com and we'll fix it, or refund you if we can't. This doesn't affect your rights under consumer law where you live.
Your card details go to Gumroad and its payment processors, never to us. The privacy policy says what Gumroad passes on to us and what we do with it, and the terms cover the purchase.
