Alumni Presenting at International Conference!
Psyche, Spirit and Science:
Negotiating Contemporary
Social and Cultural Concerns
(4th IAAP/IAJS Joint Conference)
Yale University
July 9-12, 2015
Worldwide Pacifica Alumni, alert! Psyche-Soul in discussion on the East Coast!
When we first came to Pacifica Graduate Institute, many alumni found a language-home here: a place where we could talk about the intersection of depth psychology, myth, story, soul, and body more comfortably and freely than perhaps we had imagined. Perhaps we looked and listened and said to ourselves, These people speak my language!
The Alumni Association is happy to report that over a dozen alumni (and some current students), and several faculty, are heading to Yale University to present their research at the Fourth Annual International Association for Analytical Psychology and International Association for Jungian Studies joint conference in July!
Our alumni will appear next to such luminaries as Michael Conforti, Jerome Bernstein, Murray Stein, Christopher Hauke, Craig Stephenson, and others from around the world.
