A day of reflection, dreamwork and gentle movement

Held In-Person
Ann Shine Duck and Keren Vishny
CEUs: 6

Limited to 8 participants.

Join a respectful, nonjudgmental community of individuals as we take time out from the fast pace of daily living to reconnect with ourselves and each other.  Attuning to the rhythms of late fall, we’ll drop into slow-time. We’ll draw on exercises and contemplative practices  from Natural Dreamwork, BodySoul Rhythms and NARM traditions to  align with the rhythms of body and dream.

We will begin the day in a circle, getting to know one another and creating personal intentions for our day. With the support of guided meditation, we will drop into the dream world to revive and deepen our dream experience. Each participant will have the opportunity to explore dream material through dream embodiment, reflective journaling and image-making. These practices will be interwoven with gentle movement to support integration of the material.

In the afternoon, we will use Natural Dreamwork 5D dream enactment to explore 2 or 3 dreams in greater depth. 5D work brings the group together as a community: group members volunteer to embody the various dream entities thus allowing the dreamer to walk through their dream. In this way the experience becomes a “living dream” allowing us to reclaim feelings we have brushed aside, recognize the Sacred Encounters each dream holds, and find ourselves pulled into dream roles that resonate with our own healing, growth and deep desires.

*includes a 1.5 hour break for lunch, not  provided
