Journey to the Dream

Sunday, May 15th, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m
Sacred Mountain Studio, Burlington, Vermont

Shamanism and dreamwork are two of the most ancient spiritual/healing practices of humankind, having maintained its influence since neolithic times. One of the most important ceremonies/techniques used by Shamans to engage with the spirit world to facilitate healing and divination has been the shamanic journey. Shamans used journeying to explore the "Dreamtime", which they viewed as as a mystical and very real realm in which to interact with spirit guides. By working with our dreams and shamanic journeying we can bridge the gap between our waking and dreaming lives, as well as tap into the rich depth of knowledge available to us through sacred connection to earth and to that deep well of ancient wisdom within each of us.

In this immersive 3 hour workshop, participants will have the opportunity to explore a dream and develop or deepen a practice of working with their dreams using a simple shamanic journeying method. In a guided journey, supported by sacred drumming, basic journeying techniques will be taught. No prior journeying experience or dreamwork practice is needed. Please bring one or two recent dreams with which to work.
