    1) An in-depth description of one particular dream experience
    2) A reflection on the somatic and emotional material of the dream & any connections made between those experiences and waking life
    3) A conscious mind aspiration, goal, or daydream that you are currently nurturing

  • Imagination and the Sacred Encounter Workshop Series

    Practice with Rodger Kamenetz, through the Institute for Jewish Spirituality

    January 14 – February 11, 2026

    Five online sessions Wednesdays, 2:00 – 3:15 PM ET

    January 14, 21, 28, February 4, 11

    Renowned author and poet Rodger Kamenetz (author of the classic bestseller The Jew in the Lotus), will offer a five-week program of imaginative spiritual practice based on his new book: Seeing into the Life of Things: Imagination and the Sacred Encounter.

    Do you find yourself grappling with the anxiety and uncertainty of our times? How can we engage our five senses to develop a gratitude practice that purifies an afflictive state of mind? In this 5-week course, you will embark on a journey that entwines our senses, dreams, and imagination with the sacred by:

    Engaging the healing power of “feeling into images” in memory, perception, and dreams.

    Cultivating a mindset of “counting blessings” and integrating this blessing practice into the traditional Jewish morning prayer practice.

    Connecting inner feelings with the outer world, evoking images from our dream life. 

    Developing greater empathy and a shift in consciousness toward what Kamenetz terms “the Great Opening.”

  • Contemplative Nature-Based Retreat

    Join us for a contemplative nature-based retreat based on the profound new book by Rodger Kamenetz, Seeing Into The Life of Things.

    Taking place at All You Need Institute in Lumberton, MS Feb 28 - Mar 1.

    We will practice turning our attention away from the afflictive emotions that consume our day to day and towards that which cultivates a sense of gratitude, connection, and meaning in our lives. We will draw upon the gifts of poetry, the unique sandhill ecosystem that will surround us, and our dreams to spark our imagination and deepen our sense of connection to all things.

  • Seeing Into The Life of Things

    The new book by poet and author Rodger Kamenetz on the healing power of images, poetry, dreams and imagination.
