Hi Gloria. I'd like to add my welcome to Ed's. Hopefully, you've had a chance to explore the online community a bit and are finding 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-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
Meanwhile, I see you're in the Bay Area so you may want to join "Bay Area Hive" (under groups) to get updates and connect with people here. We're planning our first in-person meetup and speaker evening in Marin on March 23, so it should be a great opportunity to actually get some in-person connection. You can see more about the event in the Events section, too.
On that note, I hope you're finding opportunities to engage as you browse the vast content and interact with others. You may want to consider joining the online book club if you haven’t already—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.

Welcome Gloria,
Glad you found and decided to join the Alliance. You mentioned the use of depth psychology and the expressive arts. Are you refering to expressive arts as in therapeutic expressive arts or as an artist or both? There are a number of artists and therapists who use expressive modalities within the Allinace membership. I hope you will find them as you join the discussions within the blogs, forums, and groups. I look forward to your posts.
Ed
