Part of The Dream Caravan, 2015
Sunday, November 8th, 1 p.m. - 2 p.m
New Orleans, LA

Shamanism is one of the most ancient spiritual practices of humankind and often involved some sort of engagement with individual's dreaming lives. 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 within each of us.

In this unique 1 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. 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.

This workshop is offered by Mary Kay Kasper, a Druid Priestess and Ecotherapist and Laura Smith, an Archetypal Dreamwork Practitioner working with clients internationally (see detailed bios below), and is part of The Dream Caravan 2015, a two-day dream event in New Orleans, November 7th & 8th at the Arts Estuary Building, 1024 Elysian Fields Ave. Workshop times are between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Cost: sliding scale $10 - $35 includes all workshops/lectures on Sunday and a free one-on-one dream consultation!
