Hi Gail. Greetings, and I'd like to add my welcome to Ed's. So glad you've found us and jumped right in by posting these great photos of art. Are they yours?! I'm also working on dissertation at Pacifica as well so doubly glad to have another in our midst.
I hope as you explore the community here a bit you are finding a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. As you likely know by now, 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. Some ideas for getting started are to join the Book Club, to post a topic for discussion in the Forum, to respond to someone else's post, or to share a link to an article or web site you like. You can also post a few paragraphs of your own blog (if you have one) in the Blogs section and put a link so people can go to your site and read the rest.
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
Welcome Gail,
Glad you joined the Alliance. There are a number of Pacifica-ites among the membership. What degree area are you studying for at PGI. Just started my dissertation there in depth psychology. There are many topics covered in the blogs, forums, and groups so I believe you will find others of like mind with whom to connect. Again, welcome and I look forward to your posts.
Ed
