REGISTRATION CLOSES JULY 3rd

Three days of an experiental dive into your dreams and creative work. Drop beneath the rational and explore how your felt inner material can be woven into your creative work to express that which only you can express.

Each participant will ask for a dream about a creative project — a role, a film, a novel, a painting — and unearth what is waiting in the unconscious to rise up and be integrated into the work. The magic, the horror, the sorrow, the fury, the desire, the revolution.

The world is in mud and on fire. We need our imaginations more than ever and yet the onslaught of information and outside images keeps us from them. To access the imagination, we need soft nervous systems to feel containment so that we can express beyond what we might normally allow (hello fury, hello numbness, hello awe, hello fire, hello help) And all in service that the waking of imagination can contribute to the yearning story/collective dream of our times.

We begin by cultivating a soft and open nervous system and a sturdy and flexible container — so we can feel our feelings, follow our own images and impulses, and dissolve the need to please or obey the other, the culture, the industry. We move away from collective consciousness and into our own specificity.

We work privately on the mat, in the body, with the senses. What comes through we bring to art supplies and the journal. Then we work together — weaving what the dreams reveal into the creative project itself.

Dream work experience is not required. A willingness to fully show up is.
