Why Dreamwork?
Intention setting can lift your life to new potential.
Here are some reasons why people do dreamwork:
Understand self
and find meaning
Dreams are a mirror you can use for better self-awareness.
Shadow work
and integration
You can understand parts of yourself that you have hidden away and promote wholeness of your being.
Open imagination
and creativity
You can receive creative ideas like story ideas or be inspired by art pieces from your dreams!
Meditative extension
The waking world becomes more acceptable and peaceful when you accept what arises in dreams.
Resolve recurring dreams
Dreamwork with a recurring dream often causes it to begin evolving or stop occurring.
Find messages within dreams
Some people seek messages from their dreaming mind, higher self, spiritual guides, loved ones, etc.
What about dream interpretation?
You are the authority on your inner life.
Through dreamwork sessions and groups, we discuss many possible meanings to dreams. However, no one can "interpret" your dream except you! You are the only one who really knows your inner life, beliefs and experiences. You may feel a moment of realization or deeper understanding during dream discussion. Those are the clues on the path of understanding your dreams! We will be happy to guide you on the journey.
Dream Group is a must-try unique experience of group sharing and discovering deep wisdom in a caring environment. We also benefit from the humor of how absurd nighttime dreams can be!

How does the Dream Group work?
A certified Dreamworker will present easy-to-follow guidelines for dreamwork. All participants will share a dream and suggest possible dream meanings for others. The dreamer retains authority of their own dream and its meanings. The dreamer may have realizations about their dream during the group work. We will create a caring space to hold each other’s dreams.
Based on the individual needs of this group, we may also try creative techniques (such as writing or simple drawing games). Please bring a written dream of yours or be ready to share one from memory. We can work with any dream snippet! We can also provide tips for dream recall.
Seats are limited, and booking in advance is encouraged. Each meeting is usually 1.5 hours long.
What are Dream Circle events?
Our Dream Circle events are one-evening workshops that include more presentations and teaching about the possibilities of dreams than our Dream Group meetings. Typically a presentation is followed by a portion of the evening where we discover dreams meanings together using Dreamwork guidelines. The group dynamic can be magical! You may never have experienced this kind of sharing about the fascinating inner world of dreams.
