2023

Me and My Shadow

The Sunday Times · Karen Krizanovich

A magazine writer goes on a Shadow Work weekend and writes home about it. A useful first-hand description for anyone who has been wondering what the room actually feels like.

2022

Trésors de l'ombre

Inexploré (FR) · Miriam Gablier

French-language piece on Shadow Work for a general readership — a useful reference for European media coverage outside the UK and Ireland.

2018

Interview with John Kurk

Conversation series · Alyce Barry

An hour-long conversation between two senior practitioners. On how the work crossed the Atlantic, what changed in the room over the years, and why people keep coming back.

02 · Short writings

Short essays by practitioners — usually written for newer members of the community, but useful as a window for visitors too.

On holding the room shame-free

Senior trainer

A short note for new facilitators on the operating principle that does most of the work in this work.

Anger as a doorway, not an exit

Coach, Belgium

On the difference between expressing anger and using it to find the next move.

What we mean by gold

Trainer, UK

An attempt to keep the metaphor honest — what is actually meant by the gold in the shadow, and what is not.
