It’s a journey, isn’t it? The lifelong search for meaning and deeper understanding. And like you, we are all travelers on this journey. No one can walk your path, but you can move forward in community with others. The Centerpoint Learning Community is here to help you find ways to make your personal journey easier and more meaningful. Think of this not as a stopping point along the way but as a hub to which you return again and again for guidance, clarity and support---necessary provisions and enhancements for the road ahead.

Your fellow travelers are unique, yet they are much like you. Their backgrounds and experiences are varied, but they are all united by a shared quest. Here, as a member of the Centerpoint Learning Community, you can find support to enrich the experience both of the individuation you seek and your bonds within a community of other seekers.

As Thomas Lavin explained in an earlier In Touch interview, "A Place Without Walls": "Centerpoint is extremely important to the larger Jungian community because we must have some place where people can gather as equals to share the stories of archetypal relatedness. We need a meeting place, a level playing field, to come together to share our experiences of the presence of the extraordinary in the ordinary, to share the influence which the writings of C. G. Jung have had in our coming to a deeper awareness of the Other. Centerpoint is the place without walls to come together to share and celebrate the joining of matter and spirit and the joining of the human and the divine without any hierarchies or dogmatism."

Last year we established CarlJungGateway.org as a free Directory for all Jungian organizations and events. Now we are further exploring the opportunities provided by the worldwide internet:  this social networking community.

Again, welcome to the journey.
