Thank-you for your warm and informative welcome, Donna. I know that it will take awhile for me to get up to speed, but I will spend time doing so. I am happy that I joined and I look forward to making connections! susy
Hi Donna...Thank you for the welcome. I listened to the discussion of the Isis Code today. The author, as I like to say when I find it, was singing my song on so many levels. So nice to have found this place. I have already received a renewed vision for the psychological perspective that I hold so dear. Nice to meet up with you as well...

Hi Donna! Welcome to the Alliance! It's such a pleasure to welcome you into the community here. I, too, am an avid follower of your social media posts and already feel like we're connected. You seem to have a thriving practice and lots of experience with dreamwork which can be so powerful.
As you may know, there are many Pacifica students, faculty, and alumni here. In fact, we currently have over 1500 members from all over the world. 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 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.
On that note, 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.
Also you may want to consider participating in the online book club: In August we're featuring Deep Blues: Human Soundscapes for the Archetypal Journey about Blue... with Dr. Mark Winborn. September will bring us "Out of the Shadows: A Story of Toni Wolff and Emma Jung" with Eliz.... Since the Book Club is all done via writing in an open forum, you can participate at your own level and schedule.
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. ~Bonnie Bright, Founder
