Welcome Mike,
Glad you found the Alliance and decided to join. What area of psychology are you studying? Do you find it congruent with depth psychology or at odds? Do you use depth techniques and understandings as a clinician? I hope the many blogs, forums, and groups have touched upon your areas of interest. I look forward to your posts.

Hi Mike. Happy Easter--and welcome to the Alliance. It's great to have you here. I've been dialoguing with Machiel Klerk, the founder of the Salt Lake Jung Society--maybe you've attended events there?
Meanwhile, I hope as you explore the community here you will find a dynamic group of likeminded 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. When you're ready to jump in, please feel free to post a topic for discussion in the forum, respond to someone else's post, or share a link to an article or web site you like. You can also post a few paragraphs of your own blog in the Blogs section and put a link so people can go to your site and read the rest.
Also, you may want to consider joining the online book club—There's a new author each month, and you can join at anytime and participate at whatever level you wish.The Book Club is 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. April's selection is a great book: "Eros and the Shattering Gaze: Transcending Narcissism" with Jungian analyst Ken Kimmel.

I look forward to seeing you around the community~Bonnie Bright, Founder
