Every Morning A New Arrival
A Practically Shameless Shadow Work Source Book
By Alyce Barry

The companion book to Practically Shameless, Every Morning a New Arrival is packed with detail about the four archetypes (Magician, Sovereign, Lover and Warrior) in their healthy and shadow expressions. Each archetype is illustrated with imagery, symbolism and examples from film, literature and current events. For each shadow, one of the author’s Shadow Work colleagues shares a personal story of healing, followed by an exercise for the reader to do at home. The title is taken from a poem by Rumi: “This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.”

Here We Go Loop-De-Loop
The 12 Skills for Intimate Relationships, A Guide for Couples
By Cliff Barry
2009

This useful guide describes the twelve skills needed to create and maintain healthy intimate relationships. Each skill resembles a “loop” or dance between two of four archetypal energies inside us (Magician, Sovereign, Lover and Warrior). An exercise helps partners evaluate and strengthen their use of each skill and in the process discover more love for each other and greater emotional and sexual satisfaction. Cliff Barry, who created Shadow Work and has worked with couples for more than twenty years, explains with his customary humor and down-to-earth insights how partners can, in developing these skills, heal their own shadows and thereby fulfill the spiritual purpose of intimate relationship.

Learning to Love
The Genesis Seven-Day Model for Emotional and Spiritual Growth
By Cliff Barry
2009

Learning to Love reinterprets the Biblical Book of Genesis to reveal that the seven days of creation, viewed symbolically and in parallel with the seven myths following the creation stories, offer a powerful model for understanding and influencing natural cycles of personal and spiritual growth. The seven “days” in a cycle — vision, building container, getting to work, mission, magic, learning to love, and grace — are further illuminated by the seven myths — the Garden of Eden, Noah and the Ark, the Tower of Babel, and the stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. Cliff Barry is a former minister and creator of the Shadow Work Model featured in Practically Shameless and Every Morning a New Arrival.
