A three-day dream workshop with Dr. Abi Blakeslee.
Throughout human history, people have dreamed, wondering “Why?” Is it a message from the unconscious? Is it memory reconsolidation? Is it a collective call that resounds as barriers of consciousness dissolve?
In this workshop, we will explore a leading-edge approach to working with dreams. Accessing non-conscious memories and processes involving movement, conscious awareness of
sensation, and embodied emotion unlocks the barriers between unconscious and conscious knowing.
Dreams and even nightmares are gifts that are our inherent drive toward self-regulation. In this workshop, we will practice applied techniques from neuroscience, the field of psychophysiology, and Jungian psychology how to mine dreams for the gems of meaning and healing.
We will explore:
Embodied Archetypes: Archetypes are pre-existing patterns and symbols that humans base universal knowing upon. We may, for example, deny one archetype, one aspect of the Self, and settle rigidly into another for protection.
Active Imagination: Interact with dream figures, who are all aspects of the Self. You will learn to use direct experience such as repair dialogue, emotional expansion, expressive movement, and conscious awareness of your nervous system to connect to your empowered integrated Self.
Shadow: Underworld dreams or violent frightening dreams naturally process psychological experiences. Drop by drop,they alchemically serve to integrate traumatic memories.
Collective Unconscious: Dreams can be explored through cross-cultural stories and myths. Humanity’s wisdom offers many dimensions to symbols that are gifted to us in our dreamtime. Also, by exploring our collective through our physiological and unconscious memory, we deepen our connection to Source.
Please bring a dream or several in mind to work on in the workshop. You can also work with your clients’ dreams.
