Spring Dreamwork Retreat with Jeremy Taylor

April 23-25, 2010

A weekend of dream exploration blending group dream sharing, dream portrayal, yoga, art and intuitive readings in the pristine and tranquil surroundings of Sunrise Ranch, Loveland, CO. All levels of experience are welcome.

Our dreams come every night in the service of health and wholeness always guiding us toward becoming our most Authentic Self. Working with dreams in a group setting provides greater depth of insights and builds a sense of community and connectedness.

In Circle Dreamwork, all participants discuss what the chosen dream might mean to them in the “if it were my dream” format.

Dream portrayal uses the same group discussion method, combined with theatrical techniques and props, to allow participants to embody and interact with dream characters and physically explore dream landscapes.

Through these techniques, “every dream becomes everybody’s dream.”

Exploring dreams reminds us that we all share a universal bond through the language of metaphor and symbols. Sharing dreams together helps us to enter into a state of compassionate awareness of our common shared humanity.

Join us for a journey into the Unconscious to discover your hidden potential and learn the Language of the Soul.

Topics that Will Be Covered:

Circle Dreamwork: In Circle Dreamwork, all participants discuss what the chosen dream might mean to them in the “if it were my dream” format.
Optional Break-out Programs:
- Dream Portrayal: Dream Portrayal creates a community of dreamers who assist each other in physically recreating and then re-entering a dream.
- Morning Yoga Classes: Dru Yoga is one of the most effective antidotes for the stress of modern-day living. Perfectly suited for any age, state of health or level of fitness, its graceful yet powerful sequences enable you to relax, re-energize and develop a calm, clear mind.
- Readings/Healing Sessions: Your registration also includes two mini-intuitive readings or healing sessions with experienced practitioners (more info provided with your registration.)
