Hi Frank. Welcome to the Alliance. Hopefully, once you have a chance to explore the community, you'll find a dynamic group of likeminded people who are all deeply drawn to the field of depth psychology. While there are many Jungian analysts and clinicians 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, I hope you're finding opportunities to engage as you browse the vast content and interact with others. You may want to consider joining the online book club if you haven’t already—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 read all the comments that have gone on so far and get a feel for the story--or Feb. 1 will bring a wonderful new book from Jungian Analyst Erel Shalit (that is also focused on archetypes) as well as a special online study group on Astrology.
In case you need detailed help 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 Frank,
Glad you have joined the Alliance.Recently had a great conversation with a poet in my hometown about the presence and power of beauty and how much it is lacking in our everyday perceptions. Not that it isn't there,we are losing our ability to perceive it.
Hope you will find much to your interest within the many blogs, forums, and groups. Again, welcome.
