The Shadow Realm Spencer and Cole
-
- Religion & Spirituality
-
Cole and Spencer are two magickal, femme folk with a background in religious captivity and the freedom from self-healing. Our expertise relates to somatic healing, divination, queer life, restrictions of Western culture, and religious trauma.
Cole has spent more than a decade releasing her own trauma, holistically healing from chronic conditions, expanding her capacity for love and safety, and breaking free from societal norms. She has her own shadowwork coaching business, is a feminine decor artist, and hopes to one day travel and host spiritual retreats.
Spencer is a tarot reader, an independent artist, and working on her B.A. in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. She grew up in the Bible-Belt of Missouri and spent many years working as a Bioenvironmental Engineering Technician across the country.
