For me, most essentially and in my bones... why Jung... because Jung seems to have been the first to take soul (psyche) seriously and have an honored place for soul in his psychology.

  • Hi Anthony - Sorry it took so long to respond to this request for "friending" - somehow I overlooked it.
  • Hi Anthony - I'm glad to know you live here in Nashville - that makes four of us out of the 21 in this Jung in the South group.  I'm willing to help start up a Nashville group again, and maybe we should start by the four of us getting together sometime soon, something I am willing to host.  I, like you, am a layperson who became passionate about Jungian psychology about 21 years ago.   I look forward to meeting you soon!
  • Welcome Anthony (Tony?),

    I'm glad you have joined the Alliance. Also, I see you have joined Jung in the South so I look forward to actually meeting you sometime soon. You may have noticed in that group the plan to have a conference call, so please send your best days of the week and times. I haven't gotten to the group yet so if you have already done this, my apologies. Welcome.

    Ed
