Please share a little about yourself by way of introduction. What draws you to Depth Psychology and what are you looking for from this community?
I have read some of Jungs work as well as James Hillmans and attended dream workshops with Steve Aizenstat and courses with Robert Bosnak. I am deeply taken with Michael Meade's work and Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I fumble along on my own trying to learn from these and other scholars and I so much wish to connect with other folks who are interested in depth psychology, dream work and mythology. I hope to learn from others so I can go beyond my very limited skills at understanding and working with the deep psyche.
Do you belong to any other online Psychology-related communities or orgs? If so, which?
No

Greetings Laurice and welcome to the online depth psychology community. It's great you've found us! Sounds like the depth bug got you good. You're in good company here: all have the bug!
As you may know, we now are made up of 3565 members from all over the world. I hope that as you have explored the community you have noticed what a dynamic group of like-minded people are here, all who are 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. This gives 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 Multimedia Library contains talks, videos and articles that may be of interest to you. The Depth Insights e-zine has articles, poetry, and images from past issues. And, then we have the Events page which contains calls for papers, upcoming conferences, and workshops.
