Dreams, synchronicity, symbols of transformation, and the process of individuation, in general. I believe Jungian/Depth Psychology is an important field and hope to help bridge understanding between academic circles and culture at large. I hope to gain insight from leaders in Depth Psychology, as I try to formulate my own vocational/career path.

Hi Jennifer. Happy Easter--and I'd like to add my welcome to Ed's.
I hope as you explore the community you will find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all deeply drawn 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. When you're ready to jump in, please feel free to post a topic for discussion in the forum, respond to someone else's post, or share a link to an article or web site you like. You can also post a few paragraphs of your own blog in the Blogs section and put a link so people can go to your site and read the rest.
Also, you may want to consider joining the online book club—There's a new author each month, and you can join at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish.The Book Club is 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. April's selection is a great book: "Eros and the Shattering Gaze: Transcending Narcissism" with Jungian analyst Ken Kimmel.
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
Hello Jennifer,
Glad you like the site enough to join. There is a Jung in the South sub-group as well. I forgot to mention I'll be presenting a round-table at the next JSSS conference in New Orleans.
I have the books and I'll email you by another route. Again, welcome to the Alliance and jump into any or all the conversations.
Ed
