Please share a little about yourself by way of introduction. What draws you to Depth Psychology and what are you looking for from this community?
It has been an interest for many years. I have read countless books and taken a doctoral level course on Jung. I have been working with a Jungian analyst doing dream work and active imagination for nearly 2 years. From this community, I hope to find out about current thinking, get book and lecture suggestions and ask questions.
Do you belong to any other online Psychology-related communities or orgs? If so, which?
On the mailing list for the Asheville Jung Society.

Bill, no worries. I am delayed getting back to you! I hope all is working out re your membership and that you are finding value here at the DPA. Mark Sipowicz and I will be doing another Deep Meet n Greet on April 14th and I loved to see you there!
Greetings Bill and welcome to the online depth psychology community. It's great you've found us!
As you may know, we now are made up of 3565 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 many 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.
We recommend that to get started, you personalize your profile photo by going to your "My page" and rolling your cursor over the default C.G. Jung image. This gives you the option to switch it to a person picture. As well, 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 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. If you are wanting or needing a push with your writing, I offer free daily writing prompts that you might find helpful.
You can also weigh in on the weekly depth discussions by clicking the image and quote at the top of the home page. And here's a link to help you navigate the site for your convenience.
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you around the community.
Best Regards,
Donna May, Board Member
