Akke, I have just watched all the videos on Call and Purpose. I see you live in Amsterdam!!! Me too!!! I graduated from Pacifica twenty years ago getting my Ph.D. in the Myth programme. I would love to connect with you. I live in the centre of Amsterdam opposite the Carre theatre. Can you come for a coffee or meet me at the Hoftuin behind the Hermitage? It is not every day I come across somebody interested in Jung, Myth. etc. We must know so many of the same people . Time to meet.
Akke-Jeanne,
Bonnie, the founder of Depth Psychology Alliance, gave me your name. I live in Amsterdam. I did my Ph.D. in Mythological Studies/Depth Psychology eleven years ago. I have also done courses with Marion Woodman, Stan Grof and others. Although I have a lot of contacts in the US, I would love to know some people in Amsterdam who share the same interests.
Hello Akke-Jeanne!
Greetings, and welcome to the online depth psychology community. I'm so glad you've joined us. I am glad to see another person from the Netherlands join the Alliance. The Alliance's International numbers are growing and we need people like you to be an active part!
As you may know, we currently have about 2200 members here on the Alliance from all over the world and we're growing. I hope as you explore the community a bit you find a dynamic group of like-minded people who are all deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. While there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from various walks of life including artists, writers, doctors, scientists, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, please take a moment and introduce yourself in the Forum and let the community know what brings you here or what your background is. Also, there are many opportunities to engage as you browse the site. When you're ready to jump in, please feel free to post a topic for discussion in the forum, respond to someone else's post, or share a link to an article or web site you like.
The January online book club featuring "The War of the Gods in Addiction" with David E. Schoen (http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/events/january-2013-online-b...) has ended but you can read the archived comments and listen to the four weekly archived teleconferences with David if you want--or browse the written discussions from past months as well. We'll have more Book Club groups in coming months.
Otherwise, we've recently launched an ongoing special study group on the Red Book with Robert Bosnak (http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/events/special-study-group-j...) which you can join anytime, and are offering a special group on Zen and Jungian thought with Zen Master Genpo Merkel (http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/events/event-listing-special...) in March.
In case you need detailed help getting started and navigating the site, you can use the following link----http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/page/navigating-the-site and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all! I look forward to seeing you around the community. ~Jesse Masterson, Alliance Board Member
