SECTION 1. ABOUT THOSE SEXUAL FANTASIES...
A Commentary by Cliff Barry
^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^

      "Where did I get these?"
      "Am I a sick person?"
      "How can I get rid of them?"
      "Do they make me an unfaithful partner?"

      There's another way to look at your sexual
      fantasies. A way that suggests that your
      having them is anything but a waste of time.

      Let's suppose that I was your soul.
      (Just pretending, okay?) And let's further
      pretend that I had a message for you, but
      you weren't listening.

      As your soul, I know better than anyone
      that you've had good reasons for not
      listening. Maybe you haven't known you had
      a soul, or you've been taught not to listen
      to unknown impulses from inside. But all
      the same, I want to get a message through
      to you, because I want to give you something
      very special. ...

SECTION 2. TRAINING DATES HAVE CHANGED
by Cliff Barry
^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^

      We have been tooling with our calendar,
      and that can make you dizzy.

      However, it looks like the dust has settled,
      and we are now clear on the dates for our
      next Basic Facilitator Training in Boulder,
      Colorado. It will be held August 14 - 20.

      Our next Leader's Training is now set for
      October 14 - 18, 2006, also in Boulder.

      The Advanced Facilitator Training remains
      scheduled for September 9 - 17.

      We've also added a new Basic Facilitator
      Training to the calendar, in Edmonton,
      Alberta, Canada. The dates are July 6 - 13.

      There's also a Basic Training happening in
      England from June 26 to July 1.

      For all the details, see the calendar,

      Calendar of Events

SECTION 3. FACILITATING THE COLLECTIVE
A Commentary by Martin Lassoff
^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^

      Having spent 13 years as a ManKind Project
      leader and Shadow Work group facilitator,
      I have observed a certain phenomenon on
      many hundreds of occasions.

      At a critical moment in an individual's process,
      his or her emotional attention had a symbiotic
      relationship with the people circled around
      the carpet, including the facilitator team.
      The individual's work permeated everyone
      witnessing.

      If misunderstood, this group experience can
      incapacitate a facilitator, who withdraws
      from the facilitator team saying, "That is
      too close to my own stuff!" ...

SECTION 4. NEW PAYPAL OPTION
^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^

      The Shadow Work online store now offers
      PayPal as a payment option. You can use
      this option whether or not you have a
      PayPal account.

      The new option will be particularly
      convenient for customers outside the U.S.
      and Canada, whose credit cards are sometimes
      rejected by U.S. banks. Check it out at

      The Shadow Work® Online Store

SECTION 5. VIRTUAL TOUR, STOP #4:
IMMEDIATE SUPPORT
^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^

      (Fourth in a series on the processes used
      in Shadow Work.)

      In Stop #3 of our tour, a man named Cal
      worked through the risks that came up when
      he wanted more support.

      Many of us experienced betrayal by those
      we loved when we were small. When a person
      is betrayed continually, he or she may come
      to expect betrayal and to stop asking for
      support altogether. In fact, he or she may
      be be living almost entirely without support
      and not even be aware of it. When doing
      Shadow Work, this person may propose working
      on an issue that is so risky that we become
      concerned. In such a case, we might do a
      process we call Immediate Support. ...

SECTION 7. FINAL THOUGHTS
^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^

      "Martin Luther King dedicated his life to
      love and to justice between fellow human
      beings, and he died in the cause of that
      effort. ... My favorite poet was Aeschylus.
      He once wrote, 'Even in our sleep, pain
      which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon
      the heart. Until, in our own despair,
      against our will, comes wisdom through
      the awful grace of God.'"

      -- Robert F. Kennedy, April 4, 1968,
      on hearing of Dr. King's assassination
      prior to a speech in Indianapolis, quoted
      in Time Magazine
