What Brought You To Pacifica?

Friends of Jung lecture and follow-up

How Has Your Pacifica Degree Served You Professionally In Your Occupation/Vocation?

The journey of study and dissertation writing has opened my mind to the exploration of the heart, background, and personal mythology of a client which leads to the client’s deeper understanding of personal issues, creates a more permanent solution, and inspires his or her desire to continue a more enlightened journey with an increasing sense of calming anxiety and peace. As an author I gradually develop my characters in their discoveries on their paths of individuation. Pacifica greatly improved my creative writing!         

What Was the Meaningful Or Memorable Part Of The Pacifica Experience For You?     

Each teacher edited every written idea carefully and with encouragement to grow, experiment, take chances, play, write poetry, and start over and over again. I began to discover and define my own mythology(s), dreams, symbols, and more as my path of individuation opened more clearly before my eyes.
