Hi Anythony. How are you enjoying the Alliance? I hope you are enjoying your interactions here at the DPA. I don't recall you making the Deep Meet n Greet, so if you can make it, would love to see you on April 14th....D
Greetings Anthony! I'd like to also welcome you to the online depth psychology community. It's great to see you here! This is an exciting time for the Depth Psychology Alliance, as we are expanding and adding many features to this forum.
As you may know, we now are made up of over 4,350 members from all over the world. I hope that as you have explored the community you have noticed what a dynamic group of like-minded people are here, all who are deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. While there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from all walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
I see you have personalized your photo here on your page, which is great.
If you haven't discovered this already, there are many opportunities to engage as you browse the site. Please feel free to post a topic for discussion in the forum, respond to another member's post, or share a link to an article or web site you like.
Here are a few quick links to front page items that may be of interest to you. The Multimedia Library contains talks, videos and articles that may be of interest to you. The Depth Insights e-zine has articles, poetry, and images from past issues. And, then we have the Events page which contains calls for papers, upcoming conferences, and workshops. FYI, Tuesday, March 1st at 5pm PST Mark Sipowicz and I will be co-hosting the next Deep Meet n Greet, where new members come together to say hi and get to know one another. I would love for you to be part of this event so I can meet you.
The Alliance also has a Facebook page which is quite lively and would love to see you posting there.
Here's a link to help you navigate the site for your convenience. I look forward to seeing your posts and comments around the various forums.
