Dream Circle

The Dream Circle is such a pleasure to host, and a wonderful way to stay connected with a deeply engaged experiential dream community. In this group, we continue to learn and practice methods of working with dreams with other like-minded therapists and dream enthusiasts – with a focus on methods of group dreamwork. This intimate Circle has become a venue for the development of Dreamweaving, a collective approach to dream group practice that includes aspects of active imagination and embodied experiential dream exploration. All members of our ‘EE’, focusing and dream group programs, and all experiential dream enthusiasts are welcome.

An inclusive dream group process

Dreamweaving

Dreamweaving is a collective approach to dream group practice that includes aspects of active imagination and embodied experiential dream exploration.

‍In a Dreamweaving session, participants share brief dream images in turn, reflect on the images that resonate for them, and respond to experiential prompts that open the image collage to collective imagination.It is often striking how dream images seem to weave together. Dreamweaving offers a way to collectively hold the images that are stirring in all of us.

No prior experience is necessary, only curiosity about dreams. Sign up to hear when the next live Dreamweaving session is announced.
