Please share a little about yourself by way of introduction. What draws you to Depth Psychology and what are you looking for from this community?
I came to Jungian psychology by way of Joseph Campbell and mythology, and the more I explore it, the more I think Jung was much more on the right track with respect to understanding the human mind than other more-or-less popular psychological paradigms (i.e., 'here, take one of these twice a day and you'll be just fine' -or- 'it's all about your genitals' -or- 'clean your room; peace will follow.' -or even the notion that there's no _there_ there and we're all just lumbering bags of robotic chemicals) . At present, I'm interested in understanding dreams and synchronicity (which, put baldly like that, sounds like a pretty tall order). What I'm looking for in a forum like this is interesting articles, pointers to books, audio lectures I can listen to -- that sort of stuff.

Greetings Vance and a very warm welcome to the online depth psychology community. It's great to see you here! This is an exciting time for the Depth Psychology Alliance, as we are expanding and adding many features to this forum.
As you may know, we now are made up of over 4,000 members from all over the world. I hope that as you have explored the community you have noticed what a dynamic group of like-minded people are here, all who are 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.
