My individuation began in June 2009. I enjoy reading Jung, Joseph Campbell, Murray Stein et al. I've written a book about my individuation and hope to publish some day. My inner journey is the most comprehensive individuation dream series that I'm aware of. I seek community and connection with likeminded people who are passionate about depth psychology.

Greetings John and welcome to the online depth psychology community. It's great you've found us! If you have a chapter or excerpts of your writing on your inner journey, I would love to read them.
As you may know, we currently have over 3100 members from all over the world. I hope as you explore the community a bit you find a dynamic group of like-minded 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.
We recommend that to get started, you personalize your profile photo by going to your "My page" and rolling your cursor over the default C.G. Jung image. That will give you the option to switch it to a person picture. As well, 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 another member's post, or share a link to an article or web site you like.
Here are a few quick links to front page items that may be of interest to you. The In-depth Course on Alchemy: Embodying James Hillman’s Alchemical Ps...; Mythic Activism with Alliance board member and Terrapsychologist, Craig Chalquist; the audio replay of Apocalypse vs. Utopia: The Soul Opportunity of Our Time, with depth psychologist Bill Plotkin for The Zurich Lab; and an interview from Dr. Dave Van Nuys with Jungian Analyst Deborah Byron Lessons of the Inca Shamans on Shrink Rap Radio.
You can also weigh in on the weekly depth discussions by clicking the image and quote at the top of the home page. And here's a link to help you navigate the site for your convenience.
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you around the community.
