This course explores the dream space as a sacred realm for inner wisdom. Merging ancient indigenous practices with Jungian depth psychology, you will learn tools like dream recall, incubation, interpretation, embodiment, and more.
Modern science suggests that the subconscious is tens of thousands of times more powerful and information-rich than the conscious mind, making dream material the rawest substance we have for unlocking inner power, pattern, and potential. Across cultures and centuries, dreams have been revered as messengers. Dreaming Ourselves Awake is for those interested in developing a sustained, transformational relationship with dreams as a living practice within their modern spiritual praxis.
In our hyper-rational world, we need empowering resources that support us in accessing deeper reservoirs of self-awareness and grounded growth, inner maps charting the treasure available in our psyche to bring back the jewel of our true self for our communities and the world. Dreams reveal the treasures, the allies, and threats on our soul's path.
This course covers a vast scope of understanding and practice so whether you're a lifelong dreamer or someone who never remembers their dreams, you are welcome.
Partial scholarships and exchange opportunities available to those in need. Please fill out the following:
