Greetings Marilyn and a very warm welcome to the online depth psychology community. It's great you've found us! It's probably outdated in some ways, but if you haven't read James Hillman's "Insearch," you might take a look. I am a bit of a Hillman-iac!
As you may know, we now have nearly 4,000 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.

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.
