CEUs: 6

Limited to 15 participants.

We each see the world through a particular lens that is forged by our history, family, culture and what we’ve been taught. Guiding every step, are the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, what we can achieve, and how much love, joy and money we deserve. Our lens informs our expectations and this sometimes limits our possibilities. In this workshop, Sheryl will lead you through exercises to identify your personal lens and help you create a picture book that represents it.  Then we will destroy this book.

In the second half of the workshop, we will create a new book representing who you would like to be. This will be the person who you already are but haven’t been able to see, who is able to experience more joy, love and abundance. Prior to the workshop, you will receive a handout with a pre-workshop exercise and a list of the supplies you will need.

*includes one-hour break for lunch, not supplied

Dreams and dream work are valuable to the understanding of our lives.  Dreams have been part of the most sacred and spiritual traditions.  Those traditions, ancient through contemporary, have taught that dreams provide inspiration, healing, guidance and connection to our unconscious.  Tapping into that wise world of personal symbol, myth, and metaphor can be very rewarding. Our dreams offer valuable information about the deepest levels of our personalities and how we behave in the world.  Jung’s model of dream work is one of healing and wholeness, the seeking of balance in our lives, both masculine and feminine. In this introductory session, participants will learn skills for recording and remembering their dreams and beginning techniques to work with their own dream interpretation. Please bring a dream, in written form to work with during the session.

About the Instructor
