Course Content
Dream Work is the art of being fully present in the everyday of our lives while embodying the inner knowing from the world of our dreams. Put into practice, we can use this connection with our dream landscapes and all of the helpers that appear there to facilitate our soul’s growth in our waking life.
Welcoming you to this course who is for anyone seeking meaningful ways of understanding how the landscapes of dreamtime and all who inhabit this liminal field are sources of potency, of life actualized.. For those who bring heart awareness, presence and willingness to explore the blessedness of dreaming as restorative healing in connection with the wider field of relations, seen and unseen.
This course is also for anyone who is seeking and wanting to participate in a community of dream weavers, alchemist and midwifes 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.
I developed this course through a culmination of dream experiences since childhood and dedicated dream tending over the past 20 years. This course provides a safe, grounded framework delivered in a non-dogmatic and experiential context rooted in informative guided drop-in/meditations and rituals that are inclusive to people of diverse beliefs and ancestries.
I set the intention at the beginning of all my endeavors as taught to me by one of my dear mentors. If anything we say, do or enact which is derived from lack of experience or ignorance causes unanticipated offense, we seek forgiveness, instruct us to do better in our endeavors and then we will. May all the doors be open to the wisdom and clarity that we seek May we be held and guided through this framework with all kindness and in ways that bring healing for self and others with harm to none,
