Dreamwork Topics
for a Presentation, Workshop, Series or Retreat

Introduce dreamwork to your tribe. This is a wonderful resource to offer as a church retreat, an experiential workshop, a small group study, or a formal presentation.

You can choose a topic below or I can design a program to fit your needs. Whether learning the basics of Jungian dream theory or experiencing immersive dreamwork, your people will discover a powerful practice and a vital way to connect at soul level.

​Night Wisdom for Daily Living: Practical Dreamwork for Busy Souls
Discover the basics of dreamwork through lecture, simple activities, and storytelling. You’ll
learn the “4R” method for working and playing with your dreams, and you’ll practice moving from dream image to waking life connections. Adaptable to include art, writing, and group dreamwork components.

The Field Guide to Dreaming: Jungian Dreamwork
Interested in learning the principles of dreamwork as taught by Carl Jung? Through a series of dream stories, we’ll explore the core principles of Jungian dreamwork. Includes powerpoint illustrations and time for questions.

Nightmares: Three Ways to Work with Midnight Emergence-ies
When you’re in a state of panic, it’s hard to believe that nightmares can be your best teachers. Learn to invite calm and apply three proven strategies for discovering the waking-life truth that’s emerging through your dream-life emergency. Adaptable to include art and writing.

This is the Gate of Heaven! Dreams and Dreamers in Scripture
When we consider the place of dreams, visions, and visitations are in the Bible, it’s clear that God often relies on the unconscious to wake people up. In this discussion-oriented presentation, we take a deeper look at Biblical dreams, exploring their spiritual, emotional, and social impact for the dreamers and their communities. Experiential components optional.

Dreams as Parables in the Gospel God is Writing Through Your Life
This is an invitation to a radical revisioning of God’s presence in our lives. What happens to your story when you see your life as Gospel, and your dreams as parables in that Gospel? Dreams, synchronicities, and memory combine with metaphor, parable, and storytelling in this autobiographical exploration of Holy Wisdom. Works well as an experiential retreat.
