The wounding becomes sacred when we are willing to release our old stories and to become the vehicles through which the new story might emerge into time. – Jean Houston
When we close our eyes and go to sleep at night, something inside us awakes. We step into dreamland and explore the inner corridors of our psyche. There, we encounter dream figures who are symbolic and beneficial for our personal growth. Our dreams contain nourishment and medicine that is needed to support, sustain, and even heal us. We can learn to cultivate this nourishment and to distill the medicine from our dreams and improve our physical and psychological wellbeing. Working on our dreams allows us to not only release the old stories but also to create a new story through becoming who we were meant to be.
This online Dream Group is for dreamers, seekers, and healers desiring to gain more insight into the healing power of their dreams. Together and through working with our dreams and our fantastic imagination, we tap into our deep creativity, establish a connection with the unconscious, and gain clarity, insight, and healing. We will work on dreams using the principles of Integral Dreaming, Jungian and Archetypal Psychology, and the Dream Tending method.
The work on dreams is hard to do by ourselves because we can never see where we are unconscious. Additionally, research shows that dreamwork in group settings can lead to increased empathy towards others as the dream becomes an opportunity for the group members to see themselves through its images. As a result, issues relating to our shared humanity easily surface and psychological wounds are openly dealt with through the empathy that flows in all directions in the group.
We come together in community and support each other to access a deeper understanding of what our unconscious is saying to us. Together, we create a sacred space for connection and healing. You can read about my research on the Transformative Potential of Group Dreamwork Here.
