Module 1

Welcome to the Cave of the Dreaming Bear

You will be welcomed into a place of healing and regeneration and re-connection with the animal spirits. You’ll grow your personal Tree of Vision and find you can use it as a portal to many worlds. In a shamanic journey, powered by drumming, you’ll be invited to enter the embrace of the Great Mother Bear and discover what you need in order to heal yourself and help others to heal.

Learn a fun, fast technique for sharing dreams and personal stories in which you will  receive helpful feedback and guidance on how to embody creative and healing energy from a deeper world in your everyday life.  Through these adventures, you'll show your  Magical Child that you are safe and you are fun, so she will bring more of her vital energy and imagination into your body and your life.  

Module 2

Grow Personal Imagery for Healing

While guided imagery scripts can be useful, the most powerful imagery for healing comes fresh from our own lives and especially our dreams, which are constantly showing us what is going on inside the body and what it needs to get well or stay well. Dream images also connect us with parts of ourselves we have neglected or repressed, and connect us with a wiser and deeper Self that can facilitate direct healing and empowerment. 

Any image that belongs to you can be a source of power and healing, even the scary stuff you would rather keep in a locked box. The trick is to learn how to develop your personal imagery so it can help you to get well and stay well. Your body is waiting for you to get good at this. 

Learn how to harness the diagnostic power of dreams and stock your mental shelves with healing imagery. Practice the powerful dream reentry technique: to journey back inside a dream to overcome nightmare fears, dialogue with a dream character, claim a power for healing or continue the adventure as a lucid dreamer

Module 3

Journey to Realms of Healing

In Greco-Roman times, from as far west as the British Isles and as far east as Ankara, seekers traveled in hopes of healing in the temples of Asklepios, the god of medicine believed to treat patients in dreams. The Celts practiced similar modes of dream incubation in the temple of Sequana at the source of the Seine, and of Nodens in Gloucestershire.

In this class we will review the testimonies and evidence for the successful ancient practice of dream healing. We’ll seek to meet the conditions for entry, which include not only spiritual cleansing, but bringing a dream of invitation and invoking the sacred guide in the correct way.

We’ll seek permission to enter a place of profound imaginal healing. It is known in indigenous North American tradition and is understood to be deep in the realm of the animal powers. You go there only by invitation. We’ll harvest practices for imaginal healing and dream incubation we can use any night, or day.
