This website may interest you - www.cyfn.ca - it is an in-depth listing of each first nation in our territory - we have 14 I believe. Most are self-governing. This site is their umbrella organization and coordinates them as they develop their government systems. It also gives you some history and background on them.
Union Theological in New York - a two year MA graduate program in religion and pyschiatry (depth psychology) with a focus on contemplative psychology and sustainability. Thank you for the welcome.

hi Ed - thanks for the welcome - I can't wait to dig around. I am soooo excited to have found this resource. Northern and rural.....I live in northern Canada, Whitehorse Yukon to be exact. In this place there is such a spiritual connection to nature and to first nation culture and tradition, I am curious to see what I could learn about a society and its collective psyche by exploring and studying this more.
I am a neophyte, but chomping at the bit. :)
The image, Motherroot by name, has been kindly lent to me by Jan Richardson. Jan travels the path of arts as an avenue of access to the divine and is an inspiration to me. The image speaks to me of the mystery of our kinship with, responsibility toward, and dependence on nature...as well as the need to be rooted in a wider endeavor of community to flourish. Thanks for asking!
Hi Ed,
Thanks for the welcome. Great to see you're at Pacifica.I'd love to know more about your experiences and your studies there (and at seminary).
I graduated from seminary more than 20 years ago. I attended for two reasons. I am moved by art, myth, and metaphor. So, I went to a school affiliated with an institute of sacred music and art that I knew would keep my flame from guttering in a heady hierarchical educational environment. I also went in hopes of learning how to nurture people's sense of "calling" (vocation). But, not believing in ordination, my interests didn't cohere with much of the traditional curriculum (which I also enjoyed, being an education junkie). My first semester, I stumbled into a seminar taught by a depth psychologist and was hooked. Thereafter, I had great opportunities to do tutorials and eventually teach interdisciplinary seminars in the psychology of religion. Most of my career has been in higher ed. working with students who want to color outside the lines. I've achieved my goal (nurturing people's sense of calling) and had great fun doing it.
I would love to continue my studies in depth psychology. Since so much of my education has been ad hoc, Pacifica's been on my "wish list" for a dozen years (Big wish list and so much to choose from). I have roots in both Santa Barbara and Carpinteria (Bates Rd south of Carpinteria was named after my granddad). What an idyllic context for learning to nurture embodiment! Woodman, Gimbutas, Campbell, and Hillman -- you've got access to the archives of the best at Pacifica.
Kind regards,
Suzanne
Thanks Ed,
Yes, I’m pretty solid these days. After years of play and exploration in dreams, non-linear and divine it seemed like time to get some gravity and footprints, or footprint- as I keep a foot in both worlds.
Gaya indeed! I’m working hard and having fun supporting the sustainable evolution. It could seem an odd diversion of purpose until one conceders that encoded within sustainability and permaculture is the reactivation of healthy divine feminine. Ultimately it’s about resorting balance. The long absence of divine Feminine is what helped to create this critical point on the planetary. On the bright side once restored- within the Shakti/Shiva dance is magic and creative-dynamic movement. Lol! We shall see.
…And what gets Ed out of bed in the morning?

Thanks for the welcome Ed. I am a young student of psychology I suppose - although I'm not exactly "young" but an adult student. I am completing my BA in psychology with an interest in a Masters in rehabilitative psychology possibly. I have a personal interest in connecting the deeper consciousness to the conscious mind. So when I saw this note by a Facebook friend on the subject of depth psychology I thought it was very interesting and appreciate being welcomed to the community.
Thanks again and I'm looking forward to learning more about this fascinating subject although I'm not familiar enough with it to comment on any connections.
