Dream Council
"dreams are visions - gifts pointing the Way"
Dreams wish us to reconcile the unlived disowned parts of ourselves - encouraging us to look into the hidden corners of our life and embrace what is often excluded. The dark-light beauty of the benevolent power of our dreams falls through the mystery of the night bringing images, symbols and stories to the presence of our day. Dreams aspire to bring us to wholeness, wanting to help and guide us to our true destiny.
Dreams reveal and give expression to our most primitive instinctive nature, trying to wake us up to what is out of balance. The ancients knew the power and importance of their dreams. They understood that dreams come from a benevolent force that weaves together not only the images, symbols and metaphors from our own life, but also of those who have come before us.
"Our dream world is the doorway through to our soul, the gateway to the depth of our nature"
In this dream council you will learn the skills for accessing and processing your dreams. Using journal-writing, art, poetry, storytelling and drama - we will deepen this practice by creating ceremony with the dream being the guide. Time will be spent in nature and in dialogue with the dreamworld - learning from the mystery. Our council will bring together dream work from ancient tribal traditions and modern dream work processes. You will be making pathways to the language of your dreams and how they are trying to teach and help.
This course is for any one who wants to explore their dreams and what is hidden within them and to perceive this landscape in new and different ways.
"Dreamwork releases an experience that grips or falls upon us from above, an experience that has substance and body such as those things which occurred to the ancients."
Carl Jung
