As a writer, musician, and community facilitator for many years, my ongoing work is deeply immersed in archetypal depth psychology, beginning in the 1970s with Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz. Quite simply, these ideas have deeply influenced the way I work and the way I live.

Welcome Robert,
Glad you found and joined the Alliance. My apologies for the late welcome. Sometimes I like to get away from the "screens" in my life. With the many blogs, forums, and groups I believe you will find much to your interests. I am especially curious about the influence of your Jungian/von Franz background and its influence on music. We are so oriented to the visual that a little shout out to the auditory is welcome. Again, welcome and I look forward to your posts.

Hi Robert. Welcome to the Alliance. It's great you've found us.
Once you have a chance to explore the online community a bit, I think you'll 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, other musicians, 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 (so many have joined the past day or two I haven't managed to keep track!)—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, you can order it from Assisi Institute now and have it within a couple of days.
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 (including past authors in January and February!) and get a feel for what's happening. As you may know, in March, we are featuring a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Dr. Michael Conforti, a specialist in archetypes and new sciences, "Field, Form, And Fate: Patterns in Mind, Nature, and Psyche."
In case you need detailed help getting started and navigating the site, you can use the following link--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
