Path of the Dream

When was the last time you remembered your dreams? For once, I’m not talking about the dreams you had last night. We’ll get to those later.

I’m talking about the dreams you had for yourself–at any time in your life. Did you once carry a dream of love? Of deep, committed partnership? Of having children?

Or was it a dream of creativity? Is there an instrument somewhere getting dusty? A forgotten plan to write a book or paint pictures or maybe even start a business?

Perhaps you’ve held a dream for your family, for your friends, for your community—held a vision for change.

Maybe your dreams were more simple. Maybe you just dreamt of relief from your circumstances, of something better than what you were dealt. And maybe you’ve worked hard to make that dream come true, and your life is more stable–but it’s like your insides can’t catch up.

I CREATED THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE THERE’S A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE DREAMS YOU HAVE AT NIGHT AND THE DREAMS YOU’VE HAD FOR YOUR LIFE:

IF YOU IGNORE OR DISMISS YOUR NIGHTLY DREAMS, YOUR WAKING DREAMS WON’T COME TRUE.

In 2009, I scheduled my first dreamwork session, after graduating from college and having no clue who I was or what I wanted to do. I was plagued by bouts of depression, self-doubt, and a history of unfulfilling relationships. But I was stubborn and cynical, and ultimately too ashamed of my issues to allow someone else to truly support me.

I remember that first session like it was yesterday–after a few questions about my dream, I found myself crying, with no idea where those tears were coming from. I realized my dreams were working on me from a place deeper than my conscious mind–and that they had a power and wisdom so specific to me that I couldn’t ignore it.

Fast forward 9 years, and I can finally say with confidence that I know who I am and what I want to do. I’m happily committed to someone I deeply love and have a strong and beautiful community of loved ones that’s built on mutual support and affection.

In this time, I’ve walked the path of the dream with dedication and devotion, developing a unique blend of Jungian and shamanic perspectives. This journey is for anyone who’s ready to make the dreams of their life come true. I am here to support you in developing a personal practice with this sacred, ancient tool that resonates with the deepest parts of who you are and guides you into becoming your true self.

YOU ARE A TRULY SPECIAL SOUL THAT DESERVES TO LIVE AN EMBODIED, PRESENT, AND FULL LIFE

THE WORLD CAN MAKE IT HARD TO REMEMBER THAT SOMETIMES

I BELIEVE THAT’S WHY WE DREAM

Walking this path means learning to trust that our wildest dreams can come true–if we are willing to be present first with our nightly dream experiences. And let’s be clear: there’s a lot of mundane, uncomfortable, and even scary feelings inside of our dreams. This program is an initiation–into believing that you do have the strength to be present with all that troubles you–and that in fact it is precisely in this presence that you will ultimately discover your medicine.

Dreams are the clearest path I know of to access the deep feelings that live unrecognized inside of our bodies — feelings that, when left unfelt, rejected, or denied, can end up running our lives. Dreamers are truly brave people, since our dreams ask us to be present with these unseen aspects of our humanity. When we grapple with the depth to which these shadows define us, we are gifted with the power to make a new choice. To commit to the dream is to trust that we can deeply change, and to discover that we have a direct line, the dream, to guide and support us in becoming our most full selves.

Are you curious, inspired, or even scared by your dreams, and want to gain the tools necessary to understand them deeply?
Are you ready for a transformational shift from disconnection and anxiety to presence and confidence?
Are you overwhelmed by the external world and in search of a way connect and stay grounded in your heart’s path?
Do you seek reunion with your capacity to dream, imagine, and create with passion and conviction?

THEN THIS PATH IS FOR YOU

Now is the time for our culture to engage with the natural healing tools that the dominant paradigms declare obsolete. Dreams are one of the most denigrated of these tools precisely because of their power. Walk this path and receive one of the most ancient and humbling gifts given to every single human, every single night.

This program is a hybrid individual/group experience, with one-on-one sessions to nourish your personal journey, collaborative learning to hone your techniques, and bi-monthly assignments to develop your capacity. By the end of the 4 months, you’ll have the tools and experience you need to continue to nourish and cultivate a powerful dream practice for the rest of your life.

The program begins September 4th and ends January 5th and includes:

2 private sessions per month (1 hr each, 8 total)

In these in-depth sessions, I will guide you through understanding your dreams’ images and the emotions they invoke in real time, guiding you in discovering their deepest messages for you.

5 group classes (2 hrs each)

Join curious, motivated dreamers from around the country to refine your practice, untangle thorny questions, and bond around the commonality in your unique journeys. Topics include navigating the emotional body, befriending the shadow, reclaiming projections, finding comfort in the unknown, facing the fear of love, and bringing our dreams to life.

Bi-weekly assignments and partner work

To strengthen the vessel being created for this program and connect you with the amazing well of support that others can offer you, you’ll get bi-weekly assignments to perform on your own and with group partners, focused on expanding your dream practice and providing accountability toward your goals.

COST

The cost of this program is $888 if you pay upfront, or choose a payment plan that fits you best:

4 payments of $242
2 payments of $456

I’m offering 2 discounted spots and one full scholarship to a dreamer in financial need. I’m especially keen on working with mothers, queer folks, people of color, and anyone with mental, physical, and/or chronic illness. Regardless, if $$ is what’s holding you back, get in touch and let me know why walking this path is important to you.

About how much time will I need to participate?

The program is designed to take up about two to three hours a week.

What if I’ve already done dreamwork with you or someone who does similar kinds of work, will this be redundant?

There will certainly be common themes, but I believe this program will be different in that it will be focused on how your dreams can be used directly to transform your waking life. I will be incorporating the tools and approaches I’ve learned through my past 5 years of shamanic work to guide the assignments and class discussions. The process will be a unique blend of inner work and outer action.

Will I be able to do dreamwork with others after this course?

The focus of this course is for you to come into your own deep inner relationship with your dreams, and develop a dream practice. That said, the very best way I know to become an effective dreamworker is to develop a relationship with your dreams that is personally meaningful.

What if I need more support?

Dreams can often bring us face to face with some of the most difficult aspects of our lives, including trauma, loss, and depression. This particular course was not built for addressing traumatic life incidents through dreamwork, but I do have related experience and can offer additional sessions and tools on request.

What if I have trouble remembering dreams?

Have no fear! I have some amazing techniques to help you jumpstart your dream practice; you’ll receive them immediately on registration, and two weeks or more to practice them and hit the ground running. Click here for more info!

My dreams have always been particularly vivid and sparked curiosity in me. Once I began working with them, I fell completely in love: their unflinching clarity, wisdom, and ability to manifest connection, transformation, and wholeness in our lives. Without exaggeration or falsehood, I can honestly say this new awareness and sensitivity to dreams has completely transformed my life. I committed my life to bringing their power into the world years ago, and I have never looked back.

My road to gaining the skills and experience necessary to guide others on the dream path has been long and thorough. I have been a student of a wide variety of traditions and practices–including Reiki, breathwork, Jungian dreamwork, indigenous and traditional ceremony and ritual, as well as more generalized cross cultural shamanic studies–and have worked to incorporate all of those approaches into my understanding of dreams.

No one dreams quite the way you do. No one will ever fully grasp your dreams the way you can. Every aspect of this program is designed to honor these truths completely. I am not here to teach you what I think your dreams mean. I am here to support you in discovering that truth for yourself. The primary methodology is simply devoted respect and presence with the content of your dreams. When we learn to honor and respect the dreamer within, we become open to a new way at encountering all of our reality. The goal of this container is for you to be given the support you need to discover your individual way.
