The Quest

Welcome to Shadow Work Quest! I’m Peter Last, and I believe in the power of authenticity. I ventured into writing with the Courageous New Dawn Series.


I’m excited to share my journey with you. Check out our offerings page to explore our transformative books inspired by my passion for healing and self-discovery.

My journey as an author began during the pandemic when old anxieties returned. These challenges helped me grow stronger in courage and resilience, embracing vulnerability along the way. This experience inspired me to create resources to help others on their healing and personal growth paths.

At Shadow Work Quest, you're supported every step of the way as you explore your path to personal growth and authenticity. You’re never alone on this journey—we’re here to guide, encourage, and help you embrace your true self with care and understanding.

In my early years, I took on adult responsibilities due to my parents' divorce, which led me to look inward and question my thoughts and emotions. Back then, I didn’t understand what shadow work was; I thought it might be something dark, even demonic. But I’ve since learned it’s about self-love, healing past traumas, nurturing your inner child, and enhancing mental well-being.

Shadow work can be difficult. It requires you to face deep emotions, which can be especially hard for men. However, finding tools that suit your comfort level can make the process more manageable.

Experiences with Ho’Oponopono, the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, and Taoism have shaped my journey. Along the way, I trained as a Health Coach, Consulting Hypnotist, and Certified Trauma Resistance Specialist, which deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and my own shadows. Through this process, and by listening to my clients, I realized that many others are also seeking ways to understand their shadows and find healing.

That's the purpose behind this site: to support those on a similar path of self-discovery. We provide guidance and encouragement for those choosing to find answers, understanding that shadow work is both challenging and rewarding.

We’ve gathered resources, insights, and practices to support your journey. While these tools aren’t definitive answers—each healing path is unique—they serve as reminders that solutions do exist. Many others walk a similar path, and by engaging with the tools that resonate with you, you can share your growth and guidance with compassion.

Our goal is simple: to create a space for discovery and healing. We invite you to use this site as a guide to uncover your answers. Here, you’ll find resources to help you gently peel back the layers of your experiences with compassion and care. You don’t need all the answers right now—they’ll come when you’re ready.

The teacher arrives when the student is ready.
