Thanks Kate! Learning how to use this platform and figuring it out as I go. :)
Sorry for taking so long to reply, Katherine. Cardiff Wales -- everything I've heard about this part of the globe has awesome beauty written all over it! Your photo reminds me of another Katherine from Wales, K. Zeta-Jones. 1:17am sounds like your response was written my time, not Cardiff-time... is this so or are you a night-owl?
Yes, this forum does seem quite intriguing. I'm happy to meet up with you and hope this note finds you well & happy.
How does your family celebrate the yuletide? I've heard the Welsh keep Christmas well. I'd love to travel the world and come see Cardiff for myself. It's on my "bucket list", to be sure. My granddad was from Inverness, Scotland, I'm told. So, I'd like to visit all of the UK, Scotland, Ireland and Wales one day.
Until our paths cross again, I'll wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy 2015! Unbelievable writing this date!!! Namaste, Alan
Greetings Katherine and welcome to the online depth psychology community. It's great you've found us!
As you may know, we currently have over 3200 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. I wish you well in your upcoming studies on a very important area; you will find many here who share your interest in Ecopsychology.
