GROUP DREAM WORK
The work done in a dream group is deeply personal. When you join a dream study group, circle or workshop you form a bond and build trust with the other members of the group so that any sensitive and personal revelations are held with respect, compassion and confidentiality. It is also a place where you can practice using your intuitive insight in service to others without judgment or worry about whether it's accurate or not. Therefore, when you make the decision to do this work with others, you are making a commitment to be present to both receive and to give support, understanding, and help with interpreting the messages contained in your dreams and the dreams of other group members.
All are welcome, few will choose.

ALLIES OF THE DREAM TIME - WORKSHOP
An ally is a helper who at first may not appear as such. The allies in our dream time may seem familiar, appealing or frightening but they always draw our attention to something we need to know and are there to help us grow in understanding of our life situations. In this 3-hour workshop you will explore and learn how to recognize some of your dream allies and how they help you to discover the messages that are hidden in a dream or life situation.

DREAMING TO WAKE UP! - DREAM STUDY GROUP COURSE
Dreaming to Wake Up! is a 16-week skill building course in dream interpretation, self-exploration and life application offered in progressive, multi-session rounds. This course of study is appropriate for anyone of any age who is interested in the landscape and meaning of dreams, whether they happen when you’re asleep or awake. It is for those who are serious about inner healing and wholeness, conscious awareness of self and Soul, emotional intelligence, mental clarity, spiritual embodiment, understanding the value of the shadow and reclaiming shadow aspects and disowned parts of one's self. Participants will become more confident and empowered to address the difficult or challenging issues they experience in life. Some will experience emotional and energetic healing and ah-ha moments. Some will be able to follow through on situations previously perceived as hopeless.
The ultimate goal of this course is to teach participants greater self-reliance in accessing inner wisdom and opening awareness to opportunities for healthy actions that align everyday choices with the soul’s purpose and mission, and to help others do the same. Strategies to accomplish these goals are 1) supporting and guiding participants to greater self reliance and awareness of the dream time and spiritual realms, 2) building community and friendships around a common interest, and 3) providing an emotionally safe environment in which to do this work.
