The Dream Tending Retreat 2025 offers a rare opportunity to explore the depths of the psyche under the guidance of Dr. Stephen Aizenstat, a luminary in Jungian-inspired depth psychology. Hosted in-person at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbarathis three-day retreat promises an experiential plunge into dreamwork that bridges Jung’s legacy with contemporary practice.
Aizenstat, founder of Dream Tending and Pacifica, brings his decades of expertise—honed alongside giants like Joseph Campbell and James Hillman—to illuminate the living images of the unconscious.
Participants will witness 15 unique dream explorations, each tended live with Aizenstat’s skillful blend of association, amplification, and animation—core Jungian techniques that breathe life into dream figures. The retreat culminates in a group ritual, a creative offering unique to this cohort’s journey. Enrollment is limited so early registration is recommended.
