Occult Salon by Melissa Nierman, Tina Anderson, Steven Edelman

A fitting discussion of the Shadow archetype.

Melissa Nierman is a trained clairvoyant, Tarot teacher, and witch history enthusiast with a Masters in Education. She runs tours, retreats, and workshops focused on reclaiming our connection to the "occult" through her business, NowAge Travel in Salem, Massachusetts. She loves to collage.

Tina Anderson studies tantric yoga philosophy, asana and meditation. She has completed three yoga teacher trainings including trauma sensitive yoga. She currently works in community mental health as an attachment therapist and has a Master’s in Social Work. She is interested in how power dynamics shape society and how relationships, including those with ourselves and our own bodies, can transform reality. She finds nourishment in poetry, gardening at dusk, and listening to On Being.

Steven Edelman has Master’s Degrees in Religious Studies and Expressive Arts Therapy. He is an expressive arts therapist and is the owner of Depth Arts and Therapy in Grand Rapids, MI. Steven has a rapt interest the imaginative function of Self and its role/potential in how we experience and act in this world. In his writing and visual art, he utilizes a practice akin to Jung’s active imagination. A strange, bewildering, magical, and animating relationship with his unconscious has and continues to emerge through these practices. For this, he is extremely grateful.
