Explore the liminal relationships of dreaming and astrology through Inner source work, Somatic awareness, and Spiritual Acuity.
It is 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.
Astrological dream journeying is transformative work. An intimate way to experience your natal moon at the time of your birth to fully manifest the guidance on offer to you in the sleeping world.
During this offering you’ll be guided 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. 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.
Then, 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).
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. 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.
The course entails several techniques to assist you with dream divination, and supportive ally connection as it relates to how your dreams are influenced by lunar machinations. 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 through these challenging times.
We’ll gather weekly for 13 weeks with our live gatherings through zoom being 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 optional closed Facebook group for folks in the course. The investment offers flexible options to accommodate for the impact of our recent world crisis, $395, $295 and $195 for 20 hours of connection to allow for folks wanting to participate in consideration of financial means.

You will find this course will meet you at the crossroads of dream re-entry and approaches to dream work and astrology, as well other supportive healing modalities in connection with supportive guides. Knowledge and experience with these approaches is helpful as is experience with earth honoring ritual and how to hold safe space for yourself, but not required. We’ll touch on these basic skills as an overview but the intent of the course is to explore the liminal field as they converge.
You’ll be a good fit if you identify as:
➣ Having a natural curiosity to explore the liminal landscapes of your dreams, and have used approaches which align with the animistic values of considering that dreams are informed by the greater web of our relations, including more than just our experiences, but also our ancestors, and other than humans that seek to be in reciprocity and communication with us.
➣ Ideally coming with some knowledge and experience with earth-honoring ritual, dream tending, and astrology. In particular knowing your lunar moon at the time of your birth. That being said, the space is truly open for everyone, and it’s helpful to reach out before hand for a private consultation to get the basics as it could be useful, if you’re able. You can contact me directly at shannon@redearthhealing.org.
