Immerse yourself in the sacred art of Dream Tending while on retreat!
Dream Tending is an enlivened practice of accessing the wisdom of our dreams. It’s a blend of Western and Indigenous ways of engaging with dreams, originated by Dr. Stephen Aizenstat, founder of Pacifica Graduate Institute. The retreat is open to experienced Dream Tenders and participants who have not yet been introduced to Dream Tending, yet are courageous enough to jump in and practice the art with brief explanations and demonstrations by the retreat facilitator, Dr. Dianne Frost.
A safe space will be created in our whole community and small groups so that participants may enrich their understanding and experience of the lively art of Dream Tending. Dr. Frost encourages participants to buy and read Dr. Stephen Aizenstat’s book, Dream Tending, if possible, yet nothing is required for the retreat other than a journal for recording dreams and a notebook for recording insights gleaned from the process of Dream Tending. Join in with an open heart and mind and a willingness to be imperfect in the art. Dreams may be tended from a variety of approaches and hold a multitude of insights, all of them valuable! In addition to Dream Tending, we may find the opportunity to engage in Dream Theatre during our retreat. Come play with us!
