Dreaming into the Mystery

How can we help those at end of life experience the

support and healing found in their dreams and visions?

with Mary Jo Heyen

Dream Awakening

Embodied Contemplative Practices from Dreams

With Kathy Samworth and Marian Gay

In this workshop we will explore devotional practices arising from the sacred encounters in dreams. Contemplation of image, feeling, gesture and voice can help our bodies and hearts open to the dream presences who come to heal, teach, and love us. We’ll share experiential practices and have time for reflection.

Finding Stillpoint

A tribute to Marion Woodman w/ Keren Vishny

Keren will share her experience working with Marion, and teach about Stillpoint through discussion and meditations with sound and movement.
