This initial group will be small, only 5-6 of us, and it will be cost-free for the first year. We’ll begin with monthly, hour-long meetings and consider longer sessions once we get rolling in the practice. Please start by reading The Wisdom of Your Dreams by Jeremy Taylor, which presents a comprehensive view of both individual and group dream work. If you don’t already, start recording your dreams in a journal, or even by using the note-taking application on your mobile phone.

We won’t try to interpret meaning for the dreamer, rather we’ll use a projective method to determine meaning from each dream for our own, individual benefit. Often, the dreamer will also benefit from the projections shared by the group. Advance knowledge of Jungian concepts is not at all necessary!

“Carl Jung developed language and methods for better understanding dream meanings – concepts like projection, archetypes, collective unconscious, anima, animus, and shadow. Because it is often difficult for the dreamer to analyze and understand messages from their own dreams, projective dream work is helpful for grasping dream meanings.”

“Sharing the stories our nightly dreams tell is an age old practice, one that has provided inspiration, entertainment and revelations throughout history. Dream work offers a method for healing old wounds, living more fully and joyfully each day, increasing self-awareness, improving understanding of our life purpose, and integrating new understandings. Each of these leads, in turn, to greater empathy and compassion.”
