Over the past two years, our lives have been altered. We have been forced to make significant changes. By looking at our present situation through the lens of dreams, it is believed that at the core of the stresses and fears that haunt us most, an agent of change can be found to transform our daytime problems and bring about a different sense of being alive.
Come join a small interactive, online dream group for writers, poets, artists, clinicians, and individuals interested in exploring one’s own and the dreams of others. Dreams are the universal language of the soul. In this group, you will be guided to re-enter the landscape of your dreams. A slow and careful exploration of the images from various perspectives can lead to an increased depth of the creative imagination and a profound sense of one’s own humanity.
