Hi Gary. Happy new year, and welcome to the online depth community.I would like to add my somewhat belated greeting to Ed's. Great to have another Twitter user here--I think its a fantastic way to connect. Meanwhile, hopefully you've had the chance to explore a bit and to discover the dynamic and growing group of people in this global community who all have the opportunity to meet and learn from others in a multitude of ways.
On that note, I hope you're finding much to engage with as you browse the vast content and interact with others. So glad you've decided to join the online book club. I think it's going to be great! Meanwhile, it looks like you're managing just fine, but in case you need detailed help navigating the site in other ways, 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
Welcome Gary,
Glad you found and decided to join the Alliance. Your website is filled with interesting paths so I believe you and the Alliance are a grand fit. I have been to a number of the NY Jungian Society's events and have found each a "class act." I see you have already joined the book club so we may be corresponding along that thread as well. Enjoy the many blogs, forums, and groups. I look forward to your posts.
Ed
