Hi Patricia. Greetings, and glad you've found the online depth community. I would like to add my rather belated welcome to Ed's. As you have seen, the Alliance is a dynamic and growing group of people who understand the power of connecting around critical topics and the fact that we are a global community allows us to meet and learn from others in a multitude of ways.
I hope you'll find much to engage with as you browse the vast content and interact with others I encourage you to jump in right away and get your feet wet by simply sharing a link or article that has meaning for you or perhaps by commenting on others' posts, asking a question, or sharing some of your own thoughts or work. I think your idea of sharing essays would be great!--and you can do that either in the Blog section or the Forum.
In case you need detailed help on getting started and navigating the site, please use the following link-- http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/page/navigating-the-site --and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions at all! I look forward to seeing you around the community~Bonnie Bright, Founder
Welcome Patricia (Patricia Ann?),
I welcome you to the Alliance and resonate with your desire to not be alone in the work. This has been my driving motive for being part of the Alliance. The worldview provided by depth psychology can also divide us from the predominant worldviews held by those around us. Often not according to our wishes. I believe you will find many who share your desire for community and your specific interest within depth psychology. There are many blogs, forums, and groups to explore. I look forward to your posts. Again, welcome to the Alliance community.
Ed
