A Year of Mindful Dreaming
Dreams are a significant part of our lives. As an honest and precise mirror of our inner and social life, they reflect how we relate to ourselves and others. This sacred mirror provides spiritual blessings, visions, and guidance. Even when dreams appear in the form of nightmares they are opportunities for personal and spiritual growth.
Dreams are an expression of our unconscious intelligence. Pointing to imbalances, to pain and problems, but always also to resources, often even to solutions. This problem-solving aspect of dreams may more clearly be appreciated by looking at series of dreams. And this is possible in the year group.
In the Year of Mindful Dreaming you have the opportunity to transform culturally conditioned imbalances such as
- daily stress
- burn-out
- depression
- anxiety
- compulsive thinking.
The group provides a safe, respectful and inspiring container for exploring your inner depths. Part of waking up is to realize that you are responsible for your own life, but you are not alone.
Maximal 10 participants

- avoid spiritual bypassing

- use dreams to support your relationships
- increase the capacity we all have to be lucid dreamers
