ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book is the fruit of a deep and abiding friendship. Our first meeting sixteen years ago was a meeting of souls. We recognized a kinship with one another and have been close friends ever since. We share both a keen interest in psychological development, especially in Jungian-oriented psychology, and a dedication to spiritual work. As a practicing psychologist, Steve has worked to integrate the Eastern vision of spirituality and mysticism into Western psychological models. The unique clinical approach in this book, an extension of Jung’s original work on the shadow, is the result of his efforts.
As a meditation teacher, Connie shared his passion for this larger vision. Her professional history as a writer and as an editor in the publishing industry, coupled with her doctorate in Jungian and archetypal psychology, led her to edit a best-selling collected volume, Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side in Human Nature. As a practicing therapist, she collaborated on cases with Steve.
Eventually we began to discuss a book that would express Steve’s approach, Connie’s love of myth, case vignettes from both of our practices, and a deepening of the ideas in the earlier anthology: from meeting the shadow to romancing the shadow—that is, living in relation to it in everyday life.
We met often in restaurants and coffeehouses for long hours of ecstatic conversation, which felt like what the Sufis call sobet, a communion of souls. We discovered a profound affinity and, at times, we wrestled with our differences. Slowly, the work began to take shape. Many incidents of synchronicity left us laughing and sometimes awed. We found that, as we worked through certain ideas in a given chapter, they appeared in our lives, either in our primary relationships or in our dreams. Or a patient walked through the door with a story that illustrated the very issue we wished to explore. And we felt gratitude for the magic that appeared throughout the life of this project.
So, we wish to acknowledge one another, first of all, for the opportunity and for the love. We wish to honor each other’s authority in shadow-work in both our practices and our own lives. To my soul sister, Connie Zweig, for the openness of her heart, the lucidity of her mind, and the generosity of her spirit. To my frater mystico (soul brother), Steve Wolf, whose authenticity and capacity to hear the voice of the Self has inspired me all these years.
Steve Wolf’s acknowledgments:

Our joint acknowledgments:

al audience.
To Clare Ferraro, visionary publisher and shadow-worker, who supported the soulfulness of the work, and to Liz Williams, brilliant publicist and gal pal.
