RECOMMENDATIONS: Once again Carolyn Baker invites us into a journey of self-reflection in the context of industrial civilization's collapse. But this time she plunges us even more deeply into the personal and collective shadow, where we hide what we don't want to notice or admit to as individuals, groups and nations. She shows that whether it's othering those not like us, or feeling entitled to privilege, the personal shadow writ large results in global war, injustice, and the current extinction of many species, including perhaps our own. She not only provides exercises for healing, she models some. I was especially touched by her befriending a homeless man in her community. When she describes a day standing in his shoes begging at an intersection she vulnerably shares the myriad voices and emotions churning inside her. Don't miss it. Janaia Donaldson, Producer of Peak Moment Television--Carolyn Baker Dark Gold: The Human Shadow and the Global Crisis

RECOMMENDATION: Carolyn Baker reveals how we need to take responsibility for our disavowed personal shadows. Reclaiming our personal shadow projections is vital for countering the devastating impacts of the collective shadow. Baker invites us to dig deep and access the rich seam of Dark Gold that could inspire our collective transformative potential. This important book is a guide for deep healing in terms of how we treat ourselves, one another, as well as other species and the natural world . Dr Mick Collins. Lecturer. Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. University of East Anglia. Author of The Unselfish Spirit: Human Evolution in a Time of Global Crisis.--Carolyn Baker Dark Gold
