Event
Dreams and the Environment
In this half day workshop we go deeper into the theme of Friday evening to learn how nature enters into our dreams and asks us for our engagement.
Dr. Stephen Aizenstat invites you into an innovative approach to dream work. Through story and example, Dr. Aizenstat shares Dream Tending methods that feature a process of discovery in which dreamers become "naturalists" of the psyche, observing the activity of the images in their unfolding dreamscape. He experiments with a worldview that playfully and soulfully sees the world as alive and always dreaming. He advocates we go to the very depths of experience, to the level of the anima mundithe soul of and in the worldand listen. At this level of experience we engage the voices of the world's dreams, effortlessly arising and speaking on their own behalf and asking for response. In this lecture/demonstration the "call to action" emerges from the dreaming psyche and is in service to the landscapes we hold dear.
