Dear Donna, I woke up early today and I am very touched and moved by all that you have done to create an online community that is open and authentic and supportive. I thank you for your welcome and I look forward to more connection and collaboration.
Warmly, Laurie
Dear Donna,
I would love to join your Seeding the Soul Stories class, but am unable to attend the first session. Will this be a hindrance to my participation?
Warmly,
Claire
Hi Donna!
Thank you so much for your lovely welcome - I'm sorry I didn't see it until now. I really look forward to exploring and connecting. About to start my participation in my first teleclass with Kim Hermanson. :)
Have a beautiful day,
Melissa :)
Sorry for such a long delay in response. I think my membership expired. I donated and got things working again.
Hope you are well and look forward to the next event.

Hello Donna! Thanks so kindly for reaching out and welcoming me to the community. I look forward to learning from others and sharing my efforts as well. The site is fantastic and I am very happy to have found it. I hope to meet on March 1st. Be well.
Hi Donna, thank you and I appreciate the friend request. It was a wonderful experience. I am adjusting my audio as I had a trouble hearing all the input but I am notoriously hard of hearing. I hope to participate in more of this type of communication in the future.
Thanks for the warm welcome, Donna! It's great to be part of this collective. I hope to submit an article for the ezine and other writing. I'm sure you will, too!
Hi Donna,
Thank you for your kind comment. I wasn't sure how I would be received on this forum since I can be a troublemaker via the issues I make people consciously aware of. Especially that of the existence of a taboo against understanding what anorexia nervosa is actually about. I am pressing this issue because I am finding it next to impossible to launch the publication of my book project, The Queen of Wonderland, which explains exactly what anorexia is in itself aside from the obvious, which is nothing more than a smokescreen that hides the psychic process and overriding inspirations that are going on behind the scenes..
On my way here, I notices a window asking for a donation. I can make a donation but not via the Internet. I need a mailing address where I can send the donation. I do not have Internet service where I live. I only use the Internet at public libraries, so it is not good to send money via a public Internet service.
Although I don't live out in t boonies, I live a boondocks life style. I do not have television or Internet service. But I do have running water and electricity. Although I spend a lot of time analysing TV and movie films, I do so on DVDs, not a television, which would break up the concentration on the themes being presented with commercials.
I have been doing a series of analysis of The Walking Dead TV series because it is attracting a lot more traffic to my web site blog. The analysis of Gothic and dystopian fantasy series take a lot of time because they are full of psychological stuff that the author never intended to portray. I can't come here very often because I only go to town about 2 times each week.

Hi Donna,
Really looking forward to working with you on the board. Loved, loved, loved your reference to "Portals of Experience"!
Actually, I'm looking for feedback on a couple lectures I self-organized and put on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK_Hostbs60
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FSisbzYm78
I call attention to these lectures because I consider them original contributions. I've never benefitted from any institution associated with depth psychology (through either credentials or connections), so it can be quite a burden having so many related ideas and essentially no feedback for them. Where on this site could I post to ask for feedback?
