DREAM WORK INTENSIVE

NOVEMBER 27-30 - 10-5pm

In this 4 day intensive we will practice the tools of the work so that you can bring them into your own personal creative practice. Participants will choose a role or creative project and ask for a dream and work with what follows. We will then bring the material from the dreams into a private moment exploring how to bring your inner material alive within the container of a creative role or project. We will call upon Stanislaki’s idea of public solitude and Lee Strasberg's private moment exercise while working with a tenant of this work which is to reveal not expose and to express the inner dynamic that the creative material is asking you to be with at this time. 

We will begin our days cultivating a soft and open nervous system and a sturdy and flexible container. This will allow us to feel our authentic feelings and to follow our own images and impulses, dissolving the need to please/obey the other or the culture/industry.  We do this by opening the body, voice and breath and working symbolically to untangle and soften narratives that are no longer serving us. From here we will work privately on the mat exploring our dreams and creative material in our bodies and with our senses. 

There will be time to bring what came through with art supplies and journaling. We will spend our afternoons with group work and an exploration of weaving the insights from the dreams into a workshopped private moment. 

It is a rare and incredible opportunity to explore this work as a group and to help each other illuminate our dreams and creative expression. This workshop will set the groundwork so participants can begin to touch on and cultivate a dream work practice.

This intensive is for participants who can wholeheartedly commit to the entire workshop. Dream Work experience is not as necessary as a commitment and willingness to fully explore.
