Introducing our newest expanded offering: PROJECTIVE DREAMWORK with Kristina
We offer several options for exploring and honoring the messages and imagery that come during dreamtime.
You are the perfect candidate for projective dreamwork at the Penfield Arts Center if:
• you remember your dreams
• you have always been fascinated with dreams but haven’t known where to begin to comprehend the meaning behind them
• you are interested in harnessing the power of your subconscious and lifting “stuff” out of your unconscious and bringing it into conscious awareness for overall health and healing
• you understand that ALL DREAMS COME IN SERVICE OF YOUR HEALTH AND WHOLENESS!
Projective dreamwork is a method of dream analysis that involves sharing dreams with another individual or in a group setting. Participants interpret each other's dreams based on their own personal associations, essentially going into the dream as if it were their own dream, "projecting" their own understanding onto the dream imagery, thereby potentially revealing deeper insights about the dreamer's unconscious mind. It works its magic by tapping into the collective unconscious and shared human experiences.
Focus on Group Dynamics:
The core practice of projective dreamwork involves sharing dreams in a group where each person interprets the dream from their own perspective, allowing for a richer understanding of the dream symbols through multiple viewpoints.
Projection as a Tool:
The "projective" aspect refers to the idea that when we interpret another person's dream, we are also revealing something about our own unconscious mind and projections.
Therapeutic Potential:
Projective dreamwork is seen as a powerful tool for personal growth, self-awareness, and healing by allowing individuals to explore their unconscious through the lens of others.
DREAMCATCHERS LEVEL ONE: 6 Tuesday nights, 6:30 - 8:30 pm February 18, 25, March 4, 11, 18, 25. $20/person. (Drop-ins welcome)
This course is a basic introduction to projective dreamwork. Attend one class, or all six sessions. Bring a friend or come solo. Bring your dream journal with a dream to share, and experience the projections of other dreamers. Learn about how to improve dream recall, techniques for remembering and recording dreams, types of dreams, the creative value that can be gained from listening to your dreams, and experience camaraderie with other dreamers in a safe environment.
DREAMCATCHERS LEVEL TWO: 6 Wednesday nights, March 12, 19, 26, April 2, 9, 16 6-9 pm. $195
This course requires a commitment to 6 weeks of dream study, with a minimum of 6 people to run the class. We will continue to build upon the dreamwork in Dreamcatchers Level One, going deeper, as we benefit from the longer session and the repeated sharing with the same individuals in our group. This level of dedication to dreamwork begins to create its own magic, with better dream recall, shared dream experiences, and intense breakthroughs. As always, we create a safe space for this work, and the dreamer is always the one to decide whether outside projections feel accurate, and whether or not they lead to an AHA experience. The dreamer can share as much or as little about whether the group projections have lifted something from unconscious to conscious level awareness.
