Welcome Elizabeth,
Glad you have joined the Alliance. Truly enjoyed your website as well and will look for your new book as I have been working with the Jungian connection with the Kabbalah. My dissertation will have this work as part of my presentation. I'm also a Pacifica-ite as are many in the Alliance. Also, just a bit south of you in Louisville, KY. Glad to see more folks from our area involved with forwarding the depth psychological message. I look forward to your posts within the many blogs, forums, and groups available.

Hi Elizabeth. Welcome to the online Depth community. I know your name from Mytopoetry Scholar and have seen you "around" Facebook and other depth sites. I hope that once you have a chance to explore the Alliance community a bit, you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all fascinated by the field of depth psychology.
Our members come from many walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplary knowledge and experience here to be shared. Meanwhile, as you probably know, there are lots of Pacifica students, faculty, and alumni here who seem to gravitate to the site
On that note, I hope you're finding opportunities to engage as you browse the vast content and interact with others. I'm glad you're interested in the online book club--as you know, there's a new author each month, and you can jump in at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish. Even if you don't have the book for this month, you can read all the comments that have gone on so far and get a feel for the story--or Feb. 1 will bring a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Erel Shalit as well as a special online study group on Astrology.
In case you need detailed help getting started and navigating the site, please 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
