Welcome Melanie,
Your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated!!! We don't want to get too stoic. :) Glad you found and joined the Alliance. Also hope you have joined and are enjoying the book club. I've had a chance to enter the conversation from time to time and also just enjoyed reading other's comments. Hope you will browse the other blogs, forums, and groups to see if there are other areas to your interest. Again, welcome.

Hi Melanie. Welcome to the Alliance. It's great to have you here.
Hopefully, once you have a chance to explore the online community a bit, you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all fascinated 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. Some simple ideas to get your feet wet are to introduce yourself in the forum; asking a question, or responding to someone else's post; or sharing a link to an article or web site you like.
You may want to consider joining the online book club if you haven’t already—There's a new author each month, and you can jump in at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish. Even if you don't have the book for this month, it's all done via writing in an open forum, so you can read all the comments that have gone on so far and get a feel for what's happening. In February, we are featuring a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Erel Shalit," The Cycle of Life", as well as a special online study group on Astrology with longtime astrologer Kathleen Burt. March will bring a new book from Dr. Michael Conforti, a specialist in archetypes and new sciences, "Field, Form, And Fate".
Last, I see you're in the San Fran area. We are holding the first-ever local chapter meetup and speaker evening for the Alliance on March 23, so if you are interested in meeting other Alliance members and likeminded people for a great speaker on Jung, Crop Circles, and the Archetypal Feminine, I hope you'll come!
