“Not Mine to Carry”
Release What Isn’t Yours. Reclaim What Is.
A 3-day workshop for those who’ve already done the work — and are ready to go deeper.
You’ve done the therapy, the books, the meditations.
You’ve looked inside. You’ve cried in breathwork. You’ve “set boundaries” and watched them slowly collapse under guilt, confusion, or just...habit. You’ve healed so much. And yet...
You’re still absorbing other people’s energy like a sponge you never agreed to be.
You’re still defaulting to the rescuer, the fixer, or the one who smooths things over.
You’re still saying, “Why am I triggered again by this?” and feeling like something must be broken.
It’s not broken.
But it is hidden.
And that’s what we’re going to meet — and liberate — together.
If you believe that you have to carry what others project onto you in order to stay connected, safe, or loved... then this 3-day journey can support you in finding a different perspective.
“Every relationship will mirror where our shadow yearns to be reclaimed and liberated”
What We’re Really Doing Here
This isn’t surface work. This is identity-level unraveling — and re-choosing.
Each day, we move through a shift using the principles of shadow work and nervous system regulation
Day 1: Energetic Responsibility vs Emotional Enmeshment
1 You’ve always felt everything. It made you hyper-aware.
2 Somewhere along the way, awareness became a survival skill — “If I can feel it first, I can manage it before it explodes.”
3 But in managing their energy, you’ve been abandoning your own.
Understanding: That’s why your sensitivity isn’t the problem — but your identity as a filter is.
You’ll learn how to separate compassion from codependence, and how to discern vs absorb.
Day 2: From Victim to Voice
1: Maybe you don’t call it victimhood. You call it “being real,” or “being overwhelmed.”
2: But listen closely — is there a quiet belief underneath that says, “I can’t change this... it’s just how things are for people like me”?
3: That belief is keeping you safe — and stuck.
Understanding: That’s why responsibility isn’t a burden — it’s the key to your freedom.
We’ll unhook from the subtle powerlessness that lives inside “I’m doing my best” and step into truth-based accountability.
Day 3: Boundaries That Don’t Burn You Out
1: You’ve tried setting boundaries — and felt like the villain.
2: Or maybe you said the words, but you still collapsed on the inside.
3: Because boundaries without identity always feel like performance.
Understanding: That’s why we don’t set boundaries to protect ourselves — we set them to remember ourselves.
On this day, we reclaim your space, your “no,” your inner authority — and knowing how to hold it without guilt.
This is for you if you...
Feel blocked in your energy or emotionally burnt out
Keep repeating the same patterns in work or relationships
Struggle to set boundaries or say no without guilt
Are tired of holding everyone else’s emotions
Notice triggers that seem to come out of nowhere
Feel overwhelmed by strong emotions but don't know how to move through them
Have already done inner work and still feel stuck
Long to move beyond spiritual bypassing and into embodied integration
Need a space to process grief, anger, and fear without shame
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious ”
Carl Jung
You will explore
Where your blockages really come from — and how they’ve been keeping you safe
How inherited roles and unconscious patterns are shaping your life today
What happens when you stop abandoning your emotions and start listening to them
How to build authentic, conscious relationships — without overgiving or self-sacrifice
Tools for energetic and emotional sovereignty
A compassionate, somatic approach to grief, anger, boundaries, and power
Relationship healing Self healing Ancestral healing Coming home to self
What is Shadow Work?
The intention of shadow work is to bring the hidden conditioning back into our consciousness and learn to get them out of running our lives and relationships.
Through different practices, we recognize the parts that we hid from or split off earlier in our lives - and integrate them back into our psyches, so we become ‘whole’ truthful authentic human beings.
The Lineage Behind the Work
This isn’t a trend. It’s a transmission.
After decades of study and personal transformation, we found our most profound breakthroughs in Shadow Work — not by fixing ourselves, but by turning toward the parts we were taught to hide.
We trained in many different disciplines for over a decade, learned from elders and also directly with Dr. Robert Augustus Masters, and carry his life’s work with deep reverence. As two of his apprentices, we guide others through the same door that changed everything for us.
This work helped us integrate childhood trauma, uncover invisible dynamics in our relationships, and reconnect with our true power/sense of self— after years of doing what we thought of as “the work” in a way that actually bypassed the root cause.
We created this offering to share this path with others.
So that your life doesn’t have to be run by pain that isn’t even yours.
So that you can feel all of yourself — and finally come home.
What we will be doing together:
3 Days of in person Group-Sessions (in a small group setting)
In-depth prompts, personal and group work
that you can use for a deeper understanding
A container of people like you — already doing the work, now ready to become it
An understanding of the connection our nervous system plays in our healing
Meet your guides
Mounira Latrache
For years, she thought her problem was being “too sensitive.” She felt everything — the moods, the energy, the pain of others — and took it on like it was hers to fix. In her work, she overgave. In her relationships, she over-functioned. And when she tried to set boundaries, guilt crept in like a shadow. She believed something was wrong with her — too emotional, too much, or not enough. But what she didn’t realize was that she wasn’t just overwhelmed — she was entangled in roles she didn’t choose but inherited. Roles shaped by unconscious conditioning, generational pain, and a nervous system wired to survive by pleasing, performing, or rescuing.
Everything changed when she discovered Inner Transformation Shadow Work. It wasn’t her first step — she had already done hundreds of retreats, trainings, and sessions. But for the first time, she wasn’t bypassing or fixing — she was turning toward the shadow. Meeting it. Listening. Integrating. This work didn’t just heal. It revealed — the invisible manipulations, the survival masks, the deeper truths hidden beneath decades of programming
It was so life-altering, she made it her mission to bring this work to others. That’s why she founded the Inner Transformation Academy — to guide people toward a life that feels authentic, loving, and free from the invisible forces that keep them small, stuck, or self-abandoning. She apprenticed directly with Dr. Robert Augustus Masters, whose profound lineage of shadow work she now carries with deep reverence. To date, Mounira has worked with over 30,000 people — including leaders, teachers, and changemakers — and has trained hundreds of facilitators globally. She is also the Co-Founder of Connected Business, an international movement that bridges inner work and mindful leadership in the world of business.

With a grounded and intuitive approach, Edel specializes in helping you befriend the parts of yourself you've been taught to avoid—your body, your nervous system, your thoughts, your breath, and even your shadow. She guides you in retraining your senses to move beyond inherited limitations, and in freeing your intuition from outdated programming. Her work is a gentle yet profound invitation to return to wholeness—by welcoming home the lost, silenced, or abandoned parts of yourself with love and care
With over 30 years of self discovery work, studying, teaching and constantly unveiling what's hidden, stuck, holding her back from fully experiencing life with carefree abandon, joy and love, she dived into the depths of her own shadow and pain and is passionate about walking alongside, supporting anyone who is ready to to the same to unearth their own path.
Edel been helping individuals to embrace their truth, often hidden beneath persistent patterns and life events or wounding (trauma). Working with the whole body, emotions, physical, mental and spiritual through- conscious breathing, nervous system regulation, behavioural styles, shadow work and teaching how to understand what your body already knows and wants you to know through deep compassionate listening, continual self awareness and a willingness to want to be free from current limiting thoughts and behaviour patterns.
Edel and Mounira offer a space where you can begin your own journey:
Not just to heal — but to reclaim yourself.
What others say about their experience
“I have spent years and years exploring a multitude of paths towards self discovery, development, and healing; making positive changes along the way only to see the old patterns and dis-ease take over my life again and again. Working with Edel has created an expansion and fullness to life that is impossible to share with words. I can simply say that I am filled with hope and excitement in this journey and discovery of how my life and being will continue to evolve and expand. Her wisdom, ability to connect at a genuine and compassionate depth and her contagious energy with life creates a space where it is safe to let go, be fully vulnerable and completely myself”
Amy
“I underwent the work with Mounira at a time when I was contemplating making important changes to my life but struggling to put my various thoughts into actions. Two years later, it feels like the most natural thing in the world to be living out the life that - when I started working with Mounira -was merely a distant dream. Mounira is a natural coach, leading from the heart, oozing warmth and energy. ”
