Explore the liminal relationships of dreaming and astrology through Inner source work, Somatic awareness, and Spiritual Acuity.
What we Will Explore
It’s the season of darkness, the time when the earth falls dormant once more, sleeping until the spring returns. We, sleeping with her, enter into her cave of deep reflection, dreaming of what may come of us when we too emerge in the spring.
During this season of Winters Dreaming we’ll be exploring Dreaming with the Moon.
For this offering you will be guided and supported by Shannon Willis and Shobhana Mason through an entire lunar cycle of dreaming. Over the 13 weeks of the course we will journey, first, to establish a connection with our natal moon, the astrological archetypal guiding force which reflects our instinctual, sub-conscious nature and then we’ll explore the house the moon was in at that time. Think of Houses as the landscape or stage of our dream time, informing us of life as it truly is, potent, edgy, exiting, arduous and everything in between.
Each successive week, our lunar selves will connect with the 12 zodiacal powers and their significance to your dreaming life as well as the 12 houses that are the landscapes through sequential drop-ins (journeys). You will develop skills for exploring dream re-entry through drop in, meditative, trance states where you will gain insight into how your natal moon, the powers of the astrological signs, the archetypal landscapes of the astrological houses and other helping spirits are building a bridge of relations with you, for connection, support and healing.
We’ll gather weekly for 13 weeks in live gatherings through zoom which will be a alchemy of relational teaching, guided practices, and break out sessions for dream sharing during each session. Lots of ways to stay connected through the ask Shannon a question feature, email, responsive Q & A during the live calls, and a dedicated community for the course.

This course is for anyone who is seeking and wanting to participate in a community of Dream Weavers, Astrologers, Animist, Alchemists and Midwives of the soul through deeply embodied dreamwork.
