Welcome Jan,
Any true learning and full experience comes as a result of "an open heart and mind." Wonderful to have your heart and mind engaging with what the Alliance has to offer. There are many blogs, forums, and groups that address your interest in dreamwork and astrology so I hope you will be adding to the discussions. Again, welcome and I look forward to your posts.

Hi Jan. Welcome to the Alliance. It's great to have you here. As you clearly know, depth psychology is such a great way to expand your horizons--and to enhance your interactions with others.
Once you have a chance to explore the online community a bit, I think you'll connect in with a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all fascinated by the field of depth psychology. 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 simple ideas to get your feet wet are to introduce yourself in the forum; asking a question, or responding to someone else's post; or sharing a link to an article or web site you like.
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, it's all done via writing in an open forum, so you can read all the comments that have gone on so far and get a feel for what's happening. In February, we are featuring a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Erel Shalit," The Cycle of Life", as well as a special online study group on Astrology with longtime astrologer Kathleen Burt. March will bring a new book from Dr. Michael Conforti, a specialist in archetypes and new sciences, "Field, Form, And Fate".
