Dreaming Into Your Depths

Each of us has within a place of depth and mystery that is accessible through dreams. Through the perspective of depth psychology we will learn to understand and translate the images of dreams on individual, group and world levels. We will also consider current events as part of the dream of the world and translate them like a dream, to develop a symbolic and psychological understanding of world events.

Dreams help us recognize patterns of our personalities and communications from the depths of our being to give us guidance in our lives. When one person shares a dream in the group it becomes each persons dream. As group members share in the format "If it were my dream or in my dream..." we open to multiple meanings and the experience of our shared humanity.

Past class participant comments:

 

This group provides a rarified field in which to explore my own dreams and others dreams as my own. It is a unique opportunity to listen to and weave together the rich images from the depths of  being. Rod creates a profound space of balance between  analysis and practices to cultivate intuition. His expertise in Jungian and Gestalt approaches  and knowledge of wisdom traditions  enrich the experience and make this more than just a dream group. As a result of this  series, I have become more in touch with the spirit of depths as a guide in my daily life. I highly recommend this group to anyone who wants to look at dreams as a gift to offer themselves and the world  " T

"Investigating my dreams with caring listeners actually helps me be more present in my waking life.  I notice my body more.  The colors in my environment seem more vivid.  Everything seems more alive.  Yay dreams!" S

"The process of sharing my own dreams and hearing those of others was a deeply fascinating and contemplative experience.  The dreams retain their own mysterious terrain, yet are evocative of inward shifts.  Both the sharing and the witnessing were a meaningful part of this practice." S
