OPUS Archives and Research Center is an active site for wonder and participation
in the great questions of our time. Located on the campuses of Pacifica Graduate
Institute in Santa Barbara, California, OPUS is a dynamic center for the
advancement in the fields of depth psychology, mythology and the humanities, and
their place on the world platform especially as they inform the areas of social
justice and environmental sustainability.
In addition to serving as a destination research facility, OPUS sponsors
interdisciplinary dialogues, community networks, internet forums, and creative
conversation among researchers, scholars, students, and faculty from various
disciplines on a broad series of topics relevant to the issues of the day and
how they are informed by eminent scholars in the fields. Thus, OPUS forms a
nucleus for the exploration of psyche and myth in the world. It is a center
that, in Joseph Campbell's words, provides a "secret opening through which the
inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation".
