In this section you’ll learn how to tap into your own personal images while learning the core techniques such as Lightning Dreamwork, dream re-entry and tracking, as well as dream theater. Using these tools you’ll learn to share dreams and get helpful feedback and guidance for action. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the landscapes, gain new insights and possibly reimagine the outcomes of dreams or help others explore their dreams. In addition, you’ll get to bring dreams to life in dream theater, interacting with dream characters and opening up to creating new possibilities. Using shamanic techniques to embark on intentional dream journeys we will explore not only our dreams, but our lives (past and future) and other dimensions and realities. And most certainly we’ll be discussing opening up to the synchronicities of life and the way the universe is speaking to us all the time. SATURDAY (9am - 5pm) Dreaming the Chakras Our bodies are composed of energy centers called chakras. In this section of the workshop we will be exploring 7 chakras that are located in our body. By using these energy centers as portals, you will have an opportunity to learn more about both your energy and physical body. As you enter the journey you may hold an intention to discover something about that area of the body and be aware of what images, guides, helpers, memories, words and thoughts that emerge to bring additional insight and perspective to your intention. Using some core practices taught in the previous session, we’ll delve deeper into these areas to further understand what our bodies want us to know. Healing the Soul When we suffer pain, loss, abuse, do not follow our hearts desire, or hide who we are to fit in, essential pieces of our soul leave. When this happens we may experience depression, illness and an unfulfilled life. The Iroquois teach that if we have lost our dreams we have lost part of our soul. Using the core techniques of Active Dreaming we can use our own personal dreams and images to reclaim these lost parts of our soul and set us on a path to a whole and healthy life. In this section of the workshop, you will journey through memories or dreams from your life, exploring your own personal images, and reclaim pieces you may have hidden along the way. You will explore landscapes, gain new insights and possibly reimagine the outcomes of your life and create new possibilities. Bring your memories, dreams, and you sense of adventure as you explore and have fun with active dreamers! Dreaming into the Creative Self Our creativity is the path to all that we bring into lives. It is more than being an artist, musician or writer, it is the way we manifest our hopes and dreams. All creativity starts with imagination. As we grow from childhood, we are often told to put away the things of imagination and focus on ‘fact’. This leads to a imaginal block in many, keeping them from being able to picture the life that they want to create. The Greeks had muses that would inspire the imagination of the soul. During this part of the workshop we will journey to find our personal muse to awaken the eye of our imagination. We will use active dreaming to walk into the creative world that we most deeply desire and find how we can manifest that world in our life. We will participate in creative activities following the journeys to honor our muse and put our creativity into practice. SUNDAY (10am - 3pm) Journey with the Archetypes of the Tarot Images are powerful tools for healing. The major arcana cards of the tarot are based on universal archetypal images that have deep resonances in our psyches. Using the tarot images as companions on a deep journey into our own psychic material, we will connect with these images in a richer, fuller and more informative way. Dreaming into True Power In this part of the workshop, you will journey into the ogre’s cave to find out what is left of your body. You will also be able to get in touch with your true power and discover how to stand up, collect your remains and rebuilt yourself. Then, you will dive deep into the waters of the Goddess to pay your respect, ask for her help and wait for her answer, her advice. After confronting the ogre’s cave and the overwhelming power of the Goddess, you may come back with a deeper understanding of who you are and what you are here for. |
