An online workshop on sleep, dreams, dreamwork, and individuation.
Dreams, which have famously been called a “royal road” to the unconscious, are nightly portraits of our psyche. Not only do they reveal our inner life with its complexes and conflicts, its imagination and hidden potential, but they can also act as both signposts and guides on our path of individuation – the journey towards the fullest expression of our whole self and our unique talents. In this brief introductory course consisting of two live workshops, we will explore the science and art of dreamwork, experientially working with our own dreams and understanding their messages for our individuation process by drawing on the current scientific knowledge and diverse psychotherapeutic methodologies, with a focus on the Jungian approach.
Workshop Details:
Dates: Sunday the 17th, and Sunday the 24th of November 2024
Times: 1 PM London/ 8 AM NYC (the webinars are recorded for anyone unable to attend live)
