The Animist Guide to Ancestral Dreamwork
September 25th, 2023 ~ November 27tH, 2023
REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
This connective gathering is for anyone seeking meaningful ways of understanding how the landscapes of dreamtime and our ancestors who inhabit this liminal field are sources of potency, foretelling and ways of being of service. For those who bring heart awareness, presence and willingness to explore the blessedness of dreaming & ancestor veneration as restorative healing in connection with the wider field of relations, seen and unseen.
This is also for anyone who is seeking and wanting to participate in a community of dream weavers, ancestor venerators, alchemists and midwives of the soul through deeply embodied dreamwork. For those who seek to know, both intimately and through witnessing, the benefits of understanding the soul’s journey in non-ordinary reality as we sleep and wishing to embody those experiences in waking life.
Our work is rooted in an animist, earth honoring, diverse and culturally competent safe space, We will explore these liminal landscapes bringing not only holy levity to the work but also auspicious and timely-needed kindness .

The liminal place between waking and dreaming is a land rich with your personal metaphors waiting to be witnessed, alchemised and birthed into being. In this way we become the dream midwife, the alchemist of our dreams together with your people, the lamented, the well, the ancients. In our time together you will enjoy the safe container co-created by our focused intention to:
- Create ritual space in which you may explore the many realms of your waking and sleeping states with your ancestors of blood spiritual lineage, and former selves
- The circle is weaved for the 10 weeks through the potent threshold of Samhain, a honoring season of the dead.
- We will orient our dreamtime to an experiential space as opposed to an interpretive space.
- Engage in Rituals of Ancestor Reverence and Elevation
- Learn to differentiate different types of dreams, and the levels of wellness of your ancestors interacting in your dreamscapes..
- Develop meaningful connections gaining insight into how your ancestors and other helping spirits are directing you through your dreams.
- Explore reasons why the dead are appearing in your dreams and how to provide ritual assistance
- Develop deep wisdom associated with dream tracking, following synchronicity, putting your dreams into action.
