  Thanks, Ed, and Happy New Year to you!  I am starting with a local Centerpoint group in the Detroit area and, as well, I study with the Interregional group in Pittsburgh.  Would love to devote much more time to Depth Psychology.  I am moving my life in that direction.

  Thanks for your kind welcome Ed.

  As a shooter in a precision target shooting team, a depth psychological perspective is relevant, as procedural memory is determined by unconscious processes (most likely one's personal unconscious). It's not all positive though. Complexes may still'constellate mid-competition, for a variety of reasons.

  The mountaineering fall occurred on Feb 24th 2001, nearly 3 weeks before my 30th birthday. That event formed the basis for my becoming the person I am today...different yet the same. It is the beginning of my inner journey, which included becoming familiar with Jung's concept, and reality of, synchronicity. I view the fall from Tower Ridge, on Ben Nevis, as'the call to embark on the Hero's Journey. 

  Myself and two friends had chosen to climb Tower Ridge, as part of a parting season of winter mountaineering, as I was planning to move to Gothenburg, Sweden, to continue some post-graduate research at the Earth Sciences institute. We assailed the route's first pitch of mixed rock and ice, approx. 15 metres long, leading onto the lowest end of the ridge-line.  The 'crux' pitches of the route, i.e. the most difficult sections, are concentrated at the top of the ridge, in two sections called the Great Tower and Tower Gap, respectively. After navigating through both sections of exposed and delicate mixed ice-and-rock climbing, my last memory before falling (of which I remember nothing, despite having returned to climb the route with friends in June 2004) was joking to Neil - who was unfortunately killed during the c.800ft fall - feel the wind pick up to my right...turned my head to look...then woke up 13 days later in Southern Glasgow Hospital's ITU ward, minus my right leg beneath the knee, my left ankle shattered and dislocated (and thankfully now healed, and can walk well due to hard physio and gym), and my hands falling apart due to 3rd degree frost-bite. 

  Since then I re-trained for a fairly successful career as an IT business analyst, working full-time since 2005.

  What's your own story?

  Best wishes,

  Rich

  Thank you Ed, for your comments and welcome. I have also found expressive approaches are quite useful with children who have been sexually abused, namely for me Sand Play. I look forward to being part of this community.

  I was on adjunct faculty at LPTS (in its AAMFT program) when we moved to Pittsburgh in 1994.  SBTS's program was designed for AAPC membership and CPE supervisory credentials.  I minored in theology during my doctoral work.  Albert Mohler, the future fundamentalist president of the seminary was in my seminars.  He seemed like a benign, genial Neo-Orthodox Barthian at the time.  Not sure when he became a raving fundamentalist, but at least he solved the parking problem at the seminary, as one of the jokes went!  He would be a (depth) psychology-of-religion study all his own.  I was clinical director at the Personal Counseling Service in Clarksville IN before moving to Pittsburgh.  Do you know if it is still plugging away.  I heard they got a nice new building a few years ago.

  Thanks Ed.  Graduated from Southern in 1986.  It was the "old" Southern Seminary before the fundamentalist takeover.  Its psychology of religion program was quite depth oriented back in the day.

  Thanks for the welcome Ed. I hope to be quite engaged in this marvelous website.
  
  You asked about the Pittsburgh seminar. My impression is that it is smaller than others but it has a lot of energy, a quite diverse faculty, and an outstanding group of candidates and auditors. It's a great education with a good deal of both depth and humor.
  
  Thanks for your interest in my website. My wife designed it.
  
  Thanks again. Have a good holiday.
  
  John

  Of course!  Your Bob Marley Opera project sounds fascinating and very creative.  I'd like very much to learn more about it, and about the Lilith theatre company too.  Maggie Reilly is working on a number of stage projects and works with full choirs and orchestras.

  With Every Good Wish for You and your Projects,

  Tom.

  Thanks Ed,

  Thanks too for the welcome.  The movie is in advanced pre-production, and we hope to have a full promo short completed soon after Christmas.  The movie soundtrack is by former Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells - soundtrack to The Exorcist) singer Maggie Reilly.

  The movie will be an Animus-Anima drama played out from the Creation thru the English Civil War (17th Century) up to the present day.  A Biblical-apocalyptic narrative - interpreted through a Gnostic lens.  Scripts have been completed for two sequels: Lilith 2 The Devil's Bible and Lilith 3 The Pleroma.

  Kindest Regards,

  Tom.
