The Institute’s programs in psychology, the humanities, and mythological studies are informed by the rich tradition of depth psychology. Depth psychology calls attention to the importance of what lies beneath the surface of conscious awareness. That vital importance is clearly revealed in the arts and literature of every culture, as well as through the dreams and collective symptoms of individuals and societies. At Pacifica, leading scholars have developed a cutting-edge curriculum that meets the complex needs of a diverse student body. Educational formats include three- and four-day monthly learning sessions, and hybrid, low-residency degree programs. The Institute’s two campuses lie between the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains, a few miles south of Santa Barbara, California. Tranquil and beautiful, they form ideal settings for contemplation and study. Pacifica was born during the cultural upheaval of the early 1970s—a time when existing paradigms were questioned and new ones came into being. That sense of innovation, coupled with an abiding respect for the power of ideas, has remained central to the Institute’s culture and curriculum. Pacifica is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).

By creating an educational environment with a spirit of free and open inquiry, consistent with the recognized values of academic freedom, Pacifica is dedicated to cultivating and harvesting the gifts of the human imagination. So that these insights may influence the personal, cultural, and planetary concerns of our era, this dedication is contained in the motto: animae mundi calendae gratia- for the sake of tending soul in and of the world. Origins & Orientation Pacifica traces many of its central ideas to the heritage of ancient story tellers, dramatists, and philosophers from all lands who recorded the workings of the imagination. The legacies of these early men and women have evolved in multiple cultural contexts including the systematic explorations of the unconscious by Freud, Jung, and other theorists of the psychologies of this century. The concepts of depth psychology results from this long development and are at the core of Pacifica’s orientation. These ideas- such as the importance of symbol and metaphor in personal and cultural imagery or the recognition of the dynamic interplay between the natural world and the world of the human psyche- are articulated in all of the Institute’s programs. Pacifica students and faculty contribute further to this rich body of knowledge through the intricacies of the human imagination. Extending the concepts of psychology and mythological studies beyond the personal, beyond the consulting room, and beyond the classroom, we see psychological life as an evolutionary development within nature, alive in all the phenomena and systems of our world. In studying and working with these multidimensional exchanges, we facilitate contributions to the contemporary concerns of our world through dialogues between the psyche of the individual, the mythologies of the culture, the collective human imagination, and the living planet. 4 Published: 02/14/2018 Masters in Counseling Psychology WITH EMPHASIS IN MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY, PROFESSIONAL CLINICAL COUNSELING, AND DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY This dynamic program of study integrates marriage and family therapy and professional clinical counseling with depth psychology, preparing students for a meaningful career through enriched coursework, collaborative and experiential learning, and an engaged relationship with the mysteries of the psyche.
