Dreaming 101

Almost everyone dreams every single night. This class is for those who are curious to begin to dive into the realm of their dreams. Learn about ways to remember and record dreams, different types of dreams, basic symbols and archetypes, and useful practices to begin engaging with your personal unconscious material. A dream is a nightly gift from a timeless liminal space beyond waking awareness, it will never tell you something that you already know. When working with this state of consciousness we are able to access wisdom and illuminate deeper aspects of ourselves and our life path. Come learn how to approach your dreams from a practical perspective and start a dream work practice that will change your life.

The Art of Dreaming

Participants arrive with a dream they would like to work with, all other materials will be provided.  We engage in a meditation which I call "Dream diving", which improves dream recall and invites intuitive insight.  Then we begin intuitive art making through the medium of spontaneous collage. Dreamers are encouraged to share their collage along with their dream, inviting insight and projection from the group. The wisdom of self and collective discovery is available to us every night while our egoic mind is asleep, and working with dreams enables us to develop a deep and transformational relationship to this process.

Demons to Daemons: Introduction to Nightmares and Shadow work

This is an introductory workshop for those who want to dip their toes into shadow work. What is the shadow? How does this psychic energy show up in our dreams? This class will be both informative and experiential. Using grounding practices and a safe space I will facilitate a guided meditation based on an ancient Tibetan practice and gestalt therapy. This class is designed to touch lightly into the shadow. Shadow work can be intense and overwhelming so I request that if you have a history of trauma or would like to go deeper please contact me for individual work or a referral.

Part 1: Psyche and Magic 

We are magical beings in physical bodies with psychological experiences. The word psychology originates from ancient Greek and can be translated as “the discourse of the soul”. Jungian Depth psychology extends psychological theories to include unconscious aspects of the psyche and is truly the study of the soul. This classes discusses the basics of Jungian Psychology, its intersection with magic and how living psychologically can transform our world. In working through journal prompts, conversation, and experiential exercises you will get to know thyselves and become in greater alignment with your unique multiplicity. Learn to create a framework for integrating psychological awareness into your understanding of yourself as a spiritual being.

Part 2: Trauma and Resilience 

 Many people have experienced varying degrees of trauma and these experiences inform our ability to effect healthy relationships with ourselves and others. You don’t have to be a therapist or a counselor to create emotionally corrective relationships and experiences. This class is designed to promote emotional intelligence and mental flourishing, topics that are barely addressed in the typical western educational system. In focusing on empathy, perspective taking and non-judgment and how these skills ripple outwards in our magical, political and relational work. Your oath to do no harm makes it an ethical decision to take care of yourself. Self-care is not just a buzzword; it is as personal as it is political. Identify your triggers, ways to support your nervous system and magical tips and tricks for cultivating resilience. Feel free to bring ideas, practices of your own and an open mind.

Part 3: S-P-E-L-L-S and Communication

 Communication is the basis of our experiences with others and the external world. As the ancient Aramaic and Hebrew translations suggest, in Aramaic abhadda kedhabhra, meaning “disappear like this word” and Hebrew avra kehdabra, meaning “I will create as I speak”, language has always held incredible and potent magical power. Violence has been built into the ways in which we speak and relate to one another in the Western world. How can we restructure our speech to match our intentions? How can active listening and speaking activate spells? This class will go over the basics of non-violent communication, how to increase awareness in relationships to make your needs and desires manifest, and how words impact your magic and psyche.
