Something vital is happening this spring! Stephen Aizenstat will offer his new Spring Dream Tending and Imagination workshop. He will bring particular emphasis to the “generative” qualities of dreams. Dreams prepare us for what is to come. And, in times of uncertainty and challenge, this support and guidance is invaluable.
This year, the program will be online, and will be more interactive than ever. It will include 5-10-minute breath and movement exercises throughout the time together. Dr. Aizenstat will convey the primary underpinnings of his approach to working with dreams. And, he will provide you with a “tool kit” describing the methods you will need to tend your personal dreams as well as those of others. Common dream themes like Flying, Falling, the Intruder, Finding Valuables, Water, Animals, Death, Birth, Journey and many others will be explored and explained.
Dr. Aizenstat will show you how to tap into the “innate intelligence” of your dreams. He will demonstrate his approach by working with dreams of participants. He will then describe what tools he used and how these methods were utilized. You will then work in breakout sessions to personalize the teachings.
Participants will:
- Learn how to remember dreams and examine recurring dream themes
