Depth Psychology M.A., Jungian & Archetypal
Focus
Information Meetings
Information meetings are held on the Sonoma
State campus about once a month over the course of the academic year.
We begin them in November, and continue until May or June. They are helpful
to attend, as we cover the details of the curriculum, prerequisites, the
application process, and the overall nature of the Depth program experience.
The priority application deadline is January 31; we admit applicants for
fall entrance only. We do have rolling admissions, and close our application
period when we feel we have reached our optimum point of 10-15 students.
This generally happens in May or June.
Please check campus calendars if you are
planning to take prerequisite courses at a community college such as Santa
Rosa Junior College, or at a four-year university such as Sonoma State.
SSU courses may be taken through Open
University. On-line courses at UC
Berkeley, Foothill
College, and other colleges and universities have different start
dates. If you wish to take the prerequisites as a full-time enrolled student
at SSU, you must apply to the University for fall or spring admission,
the earlier the better. You may apply as an unclassified graduate student;
an undergraduate; or toward a second baccalaureate, depending on your
circumstances.

Their 3d joint conference with the International Association of Analytical Psychology is in Zurich July 3 - 5, 2008.
The Labyrinth Project
The labyrinth is an ancient
earth-based tool for walking meditation. Participants follow a winding
path that leads to the center; and then follow that path outwards again
to the beginning. The path of the labyrinth reflects the winding path
we all encounter on our own life’s journey; and its center reflects
our own inner center within. Labyrinths are ancient tools used for body-mind
centering, calmness, and focused awareness. Walkers report increased clarity,
reduction of stress, and greater calmness after walking the labyrinth.
The
Labyrinth Project is a project designed to bring a permanent labyrinth
to the grounds of Sonoma State University. The project was initiated by
an alumnus of the Depth Psychology MA program whose vision was to see
a labyrinth at Sonoma State; the Project is sponsored by the Psychology
Department and the Depth Psychology MA Program. The projected site is
on the level ground ringed by trees above the gently sloping land between
Salazar Hall and the PE Building. It's a very lovely and quiet site fitting
for the meditative walking of the labyrinth.
