Some of the best mentoring I’ve ever received has come from books. It’s why I think of myself as a reference librarian for the soul—and this newsletter is where I share what’s on the shelves.

I send one email each month about the best Jungian books I read the previous month. These are books that ask more of you than they explain to you—books that help you bear what’s yours, recognize the patterns you’ve been living, and find language for what you already knew but couldn’t say. Many of them are by Jungian and depth psychology authors such as James Hollis, Marion Woodman, Liz Greene, Barbara Hannah, and C.G. Jung himself.

You are welcome to reply to my email with your own book recommendations, insights, and/or questions. It is like a book club via email.

On Instagram I post quotes from the books I read and provide little or no commentary, because I want it to be a lectio divina type experience where you contemplate on the passage. In this Reading in Depth newsletter I share my take on the books I read the previous month, from one reader to another. I’m not an academic, not a therapist, just one of the “ordinary people” that Jung said love to read his books. I guess I’ve never stopped being an English major. I’m a graduate of the Jungian Studies Program for non-clinicians at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago.

The first email you receive will have a list of some of my favorite Jungian books, to tide you over until the next monthly issue arrives. If you already receive my blog posts by email, this is a separate email list, as I don’t post these on my blog. Come along if you’d like:

Looking forward to interacting with you in this way!

Kind Regards,
