Alumni/AE Celebrating their Pacifica Experience (Read their stories here)

I continue to be in awe at the speed at which our beloved Alumni Association grows and multiplies. I feel so incredibly honored to be involved with all the dear souls who have made this possible.

Lupe ZunigaPh.D. (Clinical Psychology, 2001)

I’d first enrolled in the Ph.D. in Depth Psychology program, with its inauguration on Friday, 13 September, 1996 — it was my birthday. Nevertheless, I soon came to realize that I needed to change to the Clinical program, to deepen my knowledge and practical skills as a therapist, while still attending to “depth.” From 1997 to 2000, this was it: What excitement, what effort, what struggle, what satisfaction! These were easily the best years in all of my life’s academic learning, and I…

Marianne TauberPh.D. (Clinical Psychology, 2005)

I am honored to be among those who feel they arrived at Pacifica through a series of synchronistic events. After working through the counseling program and diving into the depth psychology program (almost finished), I can honestly say that everything I do (family, work, and otherwise) has been affected and fortified by my experience as a Pacifica student. I am so grateful to those who keep the structures in place at Pacifica and nurture the immense vision of tending soul in the world. It is an a…

Holly ReusingM.A. (Counseling Psychology, 2005)

C.G. Jung describes the time near mid-life as an opportunity for expanded consciousness. For many, including me, Pacifica became the organic extension of this call. Pacifica’s greatness lies in the ability to hold and contain the multiplicity of experience while growing towards a more authentic self. No matter how one arrives at Pacifica, the experience is transforming. By sharing and developing a collective language of soul and service we each operate in the world changed, and better for it.

Marci LoftinM.A. (Counseling Psychology, 2010)

Pacifica allowed me to liberate mySelf and gain confidence in formulating my narrative with racism and sexism as it pertains to Black women in America. Liberation is an important factors in the relationship work I offer the world, Pacifica enhanced that process. Using my voice and being in service to the world is a gift from My Pacifica.

Sherrie Sims AllenM.A. (Depth Psychology, 2010)
