About the Book Club

Depth Psychology Book Club

Join members of Depth Psychology Alliance and likeminded others for an exciting program in the Jungian Psychology and Depth Psychology Community!--the online depth psychology book club. (Click here to Join)

Each individual Book Club is "tended" by the author who takes charge of the group on the 1st day of the designated month by sharing a personal introduction to the book--why they wrote it, what was the process of writing like, what themes to expect, what questions to keep in mind while reading, etc., and then promoting discussion and answering written questions and comments from the group.

Book clubs occur intermittently. Please check in at www.DepthPsychologyAlliance.com and/or enroll in our mailing list to keep abreast of new offerings.

"On the Doorstep of the Castle"—An Exploration of the Divine in the Story of Teresa of Avila

Our setting is 16th century Spain. The Inquisition has expelled the Jews or forced them to convert. Teresa of Avila is igniting the imagination of the country as the nun who receives messages directly from God. A young Jewish converso, Alma de Leon, appears on Teresa’s doorstep, petitioning to become a novice in her care. Teresa and Alma discover hidden dimensions in themselves and each other, as they struggle to become powerful women and pioneers in psyche’s movement toward wholeness in an oppressive yet luminous time.

In this compelilng conversation, therapist and author, Elizabeth Clark-Stern shares important insights into the feminine in spiritual, political, and relational realms. The common challenges facing women in both 16th century Spain and in today’s culture reveal how we might balance that which has been oppressed, both personally and culturally. What does it mean for each of us to be a “Teresa of Avila” and how does this fit into our individual process of individuation according to Jung?

BOOK: Isis Code: Revelations from Brain Research and Systems Science on the Search for Human Perfection and Happiness

AUTHOR:
Ariane Page

The book uses an Ancient Egyptian legend and the Five Books of Moses as well as hundreds of recent results from brain research to bring this code into broad light. Author ArianePage shows how, through our quest for love and happiness, our inner Isis attempts to reconnect, harmonize and blow life into our different levels of human expression so we can truly be.

By combining systems science and the study of the brain, Isis Code provides also insight into the direction evolution is now taking to allow humanity to reach its potential. Learn more and find out how to participate here.

The Depth Psychology Alliance Book Club operates as an open forum. Everything is done via writing within the group so you can participate at whatever schedule and level works for you.

Each new book starts the first day of the designated month with with an introductory post from the author, and you can ask questions or make comments at will. 

Each week, the author will assign selected readings and pose study questions. They will be on call to monitor progress, field questions online, point out certain themes, comment on select passages, draw out correlations with current events, and more throughout the month.

You will have the opportunity to hear from each new author a few weeks before the launch of his or her book in a radio conversation, giving you ample time to order the book and read along.

Some authors will be offering a 60 minute teleseminar or webinar during the latter half of their month. In order to help cover some of the costs to bring you this free program, there will be a $10 charge for the teleseminars--but we hope you will find this well worth the investment to move more deeply into the material and get to know each author better as they share their work with us. Dates for the teleseminars will be announced at the beginning of each month for participating authors.
