Dreaming into Wholeness:
Working with Dream Themes and Archetypes
A special weekend workshop
with Dr. Jeremy Taylor, D.Min.
Our workshop will begin Friday evening with an introduction to the main principles of working with dreams in a group setting, beginning with the foundational principle that all dreams come in the service of health and wholeness. This presentation will focus on some common themes and universal archetypes of dreams. Together we will explore how these themes and archetypes serve us in our journey toward greater health and wholeness.
On Saturday, there will be the opportunity for participants to share their dreams and explore multiple layers of meaning, respecting the fact that only the dreamer can say with any certainty what meanings his or her dreams may have.
Join us for what promises to be a rich and insightful weekend with Dr. Jeremy Taylor, the internationally respected innovator of the group process in dreamwork.
