  • Thank you for the friendship request, Laura. I ought to have done this long ago. I am not on the site often however.

    I love your work and the depth you bring and am so glad to be in contact with you. I will see you this week on the Webinar.

  • Greetings, Laura, and welcome to the online depth psychology community. It's great to have you here! Its great to see you've already jumped in and shared a blogpost and updated your profile photo.

    As you may know, we currently have nearly 2600 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.

    On that note, there are many opportunities to engage as you browse the site. To begin with, please take a moment to upload a personal photo to your profile and to introduce yourself in the forum. You can also post a topic for discussion there, respond to someone else's post, or share a link to an article or web site you like, or comment on your current work or ask a question.

    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 please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all.

You who seek do not need to seek me, for I am always here. I have not left. It is as it has always been and always will be. The past is present and will continue. You cannot escape because I am what you know. You know me too well and worship me, which makes me stronger in you.…

Who is Puella?

"The world-side has been violent toward the feminine. Some speak of how we need to return the earth to the feminine, that the masculine energies are destroying the earth. But the feminine always needs the balance of the masculine, just as the masculine needs the balance of the feminine. And it is true that we are out of balance. The world fears the feminine.

Longing to Emerge

What we often don't understand is that these wounds are connected to a deeper aspect of our self that does NOT want to remain hidden. We fail to see how our wounds temper us, give us depth and wisdom. Instead we remain caught in the…

The sounds of the nine octaves perceptible to the human ear, as well as all cosmic low or high vibrations that cannot be registered by the human ear, have their origin in Aum.” ~ from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda

There is something I am learning about in the alchemy which…
