In the university town of Isla Vista, California, a group of concerned individuals saw returning veterans, families, and young people in distress. They gathered resources and developed a community counseling outreach program to aid those around them.

Pacifica Graduate Institute is an innovative, employee- owned graduate school dedicated to the purpose expressed in its motto: animae mundi colendae gratia—for the sake of tending soul in and of the world. That community initiative evolved into a graduate program in counseling psychology. What was then known as the Human Potential Movement influenced both the degree program and its founders. Following the push of the times and their own calling, they attended workshops and trainings at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. There they came to know Joseph Campbell, James Hillman, and the work of Marion Woodman. These pioneering thinkers made frequent trips to Santa Barbara and offered support as the school and its programs evolved. These mentors helped what was then The Human Relations Institute grow into Pacifica Graduate Institute—a respected and accredited graduate school firmly rooted in the traditions of depth psychology. Today the world is quite different, yet remarkably the same. Troubled veterans return from war, society faces a partisan divide, and truth is so often elusive. It will take a new generation of therapists, community activists, and storytellers to meet these challenges. Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? ~ MARY OLIVER PACIFICA.EDU | 3 2 | PACIFICA GRADUATE INSTITUTE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WITH A DEPTH PSYCHOLOGICAL ORIENTATION The concepts and practices at the core of contemporary depth psychology are central to Pacifica’s graduate degree programs. Each program’s curriculum is infused with depth psychological ideas. Pacifica’s degree programs expand upon the work of the innovators, scholars, and original thinkers who helped to create and develop the modern field of depth psychology. CARL G. JUNG JOSEPH CAMPBELL PAULO FREIRE MARION WOODMAN JAMES HILLMAN Through the study of dreams, images, symptoms, slips of the tongue, spontaneous humor, and meaningful coincidences as well as interpersonal engagements, depth psychologists attempt to understand the language and the dynamics of unconscious processes as they manifest in their work with clients and in the world. Depth psychological approaches to psychological suffering attempt to help us become aware of what has been cast out of consciousness or not yet able to be known. Healing is associated with allowing what has been repressed, rejected, denied or ignored to come forward so that we can explore its significance and integrate it, allowing for a transformation in consciousness. Evidence for the effectiveness of depth psychological approaches to psychotherapy shows that depth psychology has a longer-lasting and more profound impact than cognitive or behavioral psychologies alone. Depth Psychology also attends to the way unconscious processes express themselves in society and culture, and how culture affects the psyche. Depth psychological studies include psychotherapy as well as community, cultural, and ecological issues. Pacifica students and graduates help the field evolve through their scholarship, creative work, and actions in the world. The tradition of depth psychology can be traced all the way back to ancient storytellers, dramatists, and philosophers— those individuals from all walks of life who sought to record the workings of the human imagination. From them we learned that the multiple dimensions of psychic reality are revealed in the art and literature of different cultures, and in the maladies of individuals and communities. The modern academic and practical field of depth psychology originated with the work of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud in the early 20th century. They called attention to the importance of what lies below the level of conscious awareness, and pioneered methods of association, amplification, and active imagination in order to explore it. Their work was advanced and expanded upon by original thinkers such as Joseph Campbell, Marion Woodman, Paulo Freire, and James Hillman. In this current time of global warming, hurricanes, fires, mass violence, and political polarization, the Pacifica community is evolving new ways for depth psychology to address the concerns of the world we live in. We start with how we treat one another, for this is integral to the soul of the world. Empathy needs to be grounded in its archetypal base, acknowledging resonance with the roots of all being, transcending the individual, becoming communal in the broadest sense, including the Anima Mundi, the soul of the world. The larger issues of environmental degradation, social injustice, and the polarization of society with racist and xenophobic fears requires greater attention in our educational system. A new paradigm is required where learning and community are integrated at affective and somatic levels as well as through cognitive understandings: conscious and unconscious, personal and collective activations all need to be considered. Learning to recognize and take account of the deep connection between natural and human events can begin healing the historical wounds from a soulless, mechanistic understanding of reality. The complexity of our emerging world requires us to cultivate new ways of knowing and being with one another, with attunement to the holistic aspect of the environments we live in. Only through deeply felt awareness of the profound interconnectedness of our world can a hopeful path through these times be discovered. Pacifica, as ever, is devoted to re-imagining uploads/Geographie/ pacifica-guide 1 .pdf
