Mandy WittersShadow Alchemist
The Biggest Joke of Your Life...So Far
A 60-day shadow initiation you can run yourself. First the descent into what you’ve been avoiding. Then the body. Then the climb back into your own life.
As little as 30 minutes a day · Sixty days · Sober · Free for a small first round
Hi. I’m Mandy.
The joke isn’t that your pain isn’t real. The joke is that you’ve been waiting for someone else to come fix it, and no one is coming. That’s actually good news.
What I’m making is not a vibe. It’s not a retreat hangover that evaporates by Tuesday. It’s a process you can run yourself. Cause I’m not here to save you, I’m here to give you (Dobby) a symbol of freedom (the sock).
What the process actually is
Nine days of intake. An intention. Forty days in the chrysalis. Then you climb back out.
Nine days of intake
One center at a time. You dig up the sludge. You write it down. You move your body in ways that feel a little ridiculous on purpose, because ridiculous is often where the information is hiding.
You set an intention
Not a goal you can spreadsheet. Something you want to know, do, be, or understand. You pick a deity pair if that language works for you. You build a practice that reminds you of your freedom.
Forty days inside the chrysalis
Will. Fear. Surrender. Forty days of that, in your body, until Your Voice stops sounding like a stranger.
The ascent
You climb back out and close what you opened. That is where you find out what stuck.
I’m your jester for those sixty days. My job is to hold up the mirror while you play every role you’ve got — and to make it as fun as I can without lying to you about how hard this gets.
Who this is for
You’re building something. A business, a body of work, a life that doesn’t feel like a performance of the one someone else picked out for you.
You’ve scrolled enough spiritual content to know when someone’s selling certainty they don’t have. You’re willing to be honest with yourself even when the honesty is inconvenient for you fee fees (feelings).
You’re not looking for me to save you. You’re looking for a container that teaches you how to save yourself — and you’re okay if that container is a little crude, a little funny, and refuses to let you spiritually bypass your own bank account, your inbox, or your body.
Who this is not for
If you want me to tell you what to do so you don’t have to, then you’re gonna have to pay me a lot more...and that’s a different container altogether.
If you want a guarantee of awakening, enlightenment, or six figures by Day 60, I’m going to disappoint you now on purpose. I’m not in the business of guaranteeing you outcomes. I am in the business of guaranteeing the transaction of being your mirror to the best of my ability.
If your intuition already says “no” and your mind is bargaining, listen to your intuition. I’m not recruiting people who need convincing.
The ask
Looking for beta readersand a few brave souls who’ll actually do the thing
I would love for you to actually do the program, but if that’s not for you, fine. I can’t lead a horse to water. However, if all you can freely give me is time to read the book and edit or proof for me, I will gladly receive any and all gifts of that nature too.
Beta readers
Read the guide as it stands. Tell me where it sounds like me, where it sounds like AI wearing my jacket, where you got bored, where you got lit up, and where you’d quit if nobody was watching. You don’t have to do the full sixty days. I do want you to be honest.
Beta testers
Actually run the process. As little as 30 minutes a day for sixty days. Give me the messy feedback from inside the container: what worked in your body, what your mind fought, what you’d change, and whether you’d recommend this to someone you actually like.
So my invitation to you is
If something in you just went “uh huh,” sign up. Tell me whether you want to read it, live it, or both. I’ll follow up with next steps.
If something in you went “unh unh,” also fine. Tell me I’m wrong, or don’t. Either way, thanks for listening.
