Way of Council Mentoring & Dream Work
Mentoring
Each session is a time to lay down what you carry - the stories, questions, and challenges that are alive for you now.
​
Like gathering at a fire, we pause together.
I listen with still witnessing, reflecting back what I hear, offering questions that may help you see more clearly the path before you.
The Circle & Container
Our session follows the simple, timeless form of Council:
-
A candle lit to mark our beginning
-
A few words or a short poem to open the circle
-
A Talking Piece you may bring from nature or your home - stone, a shell, or something loved and special to you.
-
Closing words or a blessing to complete
This is a gentle sacred space of respect, attention, and deep listening.
Dream Work
Dreams come like messengers of the night, carrying images from the depths of soul.
In our work we will:
-
Bring your dream into the circle, allowing it to speak
-
Explore it through writing, drawing, or poetry
-
Listen for the images and teachings it offers
-
Learn how dreams can guide and companion you on your journey
By tending your dream life, you open to a language of symbols and stories that connect you with inner wisdom and the wider world of spirit and nature.
The Way of Council
At the heart of Council is a simple, ancient practice:
Two or more people in circle
-
A talking piece to steady our attention
-
A few shared intentions
-
As Council carrier, I will guide us with these principles:
-
Allow words to come simply and spontaneously
-
Honour confidentiality and what serves the circle
-
Speak from the heart
-
Listen from the heart, without judgment
Speaking with a talking piece slows us to slow down, be more aware and attentive to the present moment. It lets each voice be heard fully - like the wind through trees, or the river over stone.

"You must give birth to your images.
They are the future waiting to be born….
Fear not the strangeness you feel.
The future must enter you long before it happens…. Just wait for the birth
for the hour of clarity" -
Rainer Maria Rilke
