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?
My desire to learn more about how to better navigate through/into this living relationship with Soul ... this is what brought me to depth psychology. Being part of community whose members are interested in soulful care of the greater community of Self is the benefit in itself.

Welcome Chris,
And my apologies for such a late welcome. I am glad that you are already in dialogue with others on the site and hope you will continue to add your experiences and learnings to the ongoing dialogues. With all the blogs, forums, and groups I believe you will continue to find the site of interest. I look forward to your continued posts.

Hi Chris. Glad you've found the Alliance, and please forgive the belated (formal) welcome. I'm so glad you've jumped in with both feet and thank you for your engagement and enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, it seems you've had a chance to explore the community a bit and I'm hoping you are finding a dynamic group of likeminded 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 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.
As you know, joining the online book club is a great place to start—There's a new author each month, and you can jump in at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish.
The Book Club is all done via writing in an open forum, so you can read all the comments that have gone on so far (including past authors in January and February!) and get a feel for what's happening. Clearly you're aware that in March, we are featuring a wonderful book from Jungian Analyst Dr. Michael Conforti, a specialist in archetypes and new sciences, "Field, Form, And Fate: Patterns in Mind, Nature, and Psyche." Dr. Conforti is also offering the free teleseminar you mentioned. April will bring a whole new topic: "Eros and the Shattering Gaze: Transcending Narcissism" with Ken Kimmel.
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. Thanks again for your willing participation.~Bonnie Bright
