Hi Ruth
I am an introverted Intuitive as well and very low in sensate. However, living in this world teeming with technology we certainly get practice.
Tell me about you.
Actually, I didn't get my degree at Pacifica. I got a masters in Depth Psychology at Sonoma State! I did take the 6-month program with Stephen Aizenstadt on DreamTending, which was out of this world! If you spent a lot of time at the SF Jung Institute, I'll bet you know a couple of special women in my life--Meredith Sabini was one of my instructors (fabulous), and I have actually worked with Virginia Beane Rutter. She's also wonderful. I'm too old and have too little money to get a PhD, but in another life . . . . However, SSU is where I was really first introduced to Jung and the whole panoply amazing depth thinkers, and it has changed my life dramatically--I'm a different human being for having done the academic and experiential work associated with my degree. Perhaps the single most amazing thing it changed in me was my approach to problem-solving. Now, as a management consultant and coach, I see symptoms of problems very differently--instead of immediately trying to get rid of them, I get curious about what they might be saying about the individual or organization as a whole. It's such a refreshing change!
I'm glad that you like my collages--I did my thesis on them: "Images of Individuation: Using Collage to Understand and Transform Disquiet." It was an academic paper, but of course it was my own journey that they chronicle.
I'm glad that you are enjoying the Depth Psychology Alliance--Bonnie Bright started it, and she was in my cohort at SSU. She's now getting her PhD at Pacifica.
Dear Ruth
Thank you for your warm welcome and inquiry. I was not certain that I my attempt to join this forum had been successful. As Intuitives, sometimes the cyberworld can be daunting. The Marion Woodman Website is just recently updated and can be found under Marion Woodman Foundation.
I look forward to being a part of this burgeoning creative community.
Blessings and Thanks!

Hi Ruth, I am so backwards when it comes to techie world issues.
That said, I got your message and you can email me privately at gingerswanson@gmail.com. No junk, no sharing, please. I look forward to your comments on symbols. Also, I am heading from Santa Barbara to Santa Rosa this work, where I have client work to do. Perhaps we could meet for lunch? I will be there Tues. through Friday. Drop a note at gingerswanson@gmail.com
Hi Ruth,
Thanks for your note about my workshop. This will be the first time for this workshop (Journey to Self). It grew out of my attempt to write the psycho/spiritual drama of my own myth of descent styled on that of Inanna. I performed it a year ago for my "Coming of Elder Age" celebration. In it I had to identify and give up 7 old beliefs that no longer serve my growth. That was so well recieved by my guests that I decided to turn it into a workshop. I look forward to sharing it with the participants, and hope it leads to further developments.
Nancy
