  Actually, the uniting of psychology and religion was the path I was on when I decided to go to Pacifica. I was in NC at the time and no psychology dept. wanted to look seriously at religion and no religion dept. wanted to consider its psychological characteristics (except maybe pastoral counseling or chaplaincy in a hospital). I am a pastor and am quite interested in your self-designation as a post-Christian. No agenda in the inquiry, just curiosity. It sounds as if it touches on my own experiences.
  As to a place to meet, this means that both you and Jeanne have places. I'm feeling an initial meeting where we could brainstorm ideas for the next step in officially creating an organization focused on Jungian theory and ___________. (?) Jeanne, Brian, Karen, Catherine - thoughts?????

  P.S. I often host retreats at my home, which is quite literally built for that purpose. With the current small membership of "Jung in the South," I could manage a retreat with ease. Something to keep in mind... :D

  Yes, the leaves are turning now, it's gorgeous, and we've had a few days of perfect fall weather following a summer of draught, intense heat, locusts (figuratively speaking), and general economic distress.
  
  My specific interest, Ed, is in Jung's psychology of religion, which I would describe as a vocation for me as a post-Christian, yet still involved church and community person. I'm a professional educator, looking for ways to bring Jung into my very traditional community. How about you?

  Welcome Gabriela !!! I spent many years in Virginia and the Shenandoah is beautiful. Leaves changing yet?? Sorry my welcome is late. My LLC is sponsoring a production of a small all-female theatre group this month. Promotional concerns have grabbed my time. Its about the women who went into the mountains of Eastern Kentucky (just look west!!) to establish the first mountain schools.
  Gabriela, what was/is your area of interest??

  Maybe we can make a Jungian retreat happen . . . Ed, it was delightful to meet you. It looks like I might be back on campus for your next residency: Nov. 1-3 . . . to defend my dissertation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really coming to closure on this journey. It's amazing!

  I'm a recent Pacifica graduate and I love the South (I currently live in the Shenandoah Valley), but I really need to connect with other depth psychologists and Jungians in the region. After many years of living in California and New York, I'm finding my beautiful rural community a little isolating from the Jungian perspective.

  Actually, I will be at Pacifica Sept. 26th thru 29th. Shall I wear a large carnation?? (And, if so, where do I pick up a carnation in SB? I'll email.
  See you soon.

  I'm part of a group sponsoring a Walk for MS that weekend so I can't make the NC conference. In a word: Bummer!!!! Looks like a great gathering of persons and topics. I'm beginning to feel the need to talk on the phone with you at some time. Is this possible?
