Sacred Dream Group

We will take another journey through the night realm beginning February 14th but you don't need to have attended the previous dream group in order to join this journey.

We will take our dream work into connection with the day via the Tibetan tradition of Illusory Form Practice and Dream Yoga. In this way, we integrate the lucid richness of night with our daily life experience. We will also use Subtle Body exercises to help us do this.

All the while, we will weave in these places of emphasis from our last series:

• Freeing ourselves from anxiety about nighttime and sleep

• Developing a loving relationship with our deep unconscious mind

• Getting more sleep and rest than ever

• Connecting with guides and guidance from the dream space

• Exploring dream and night practices from various cultures

• Learning how to honor the sacred space of night and develop night ritual

• Learning to understand our dreams and how our dream awareness communicates to us

• Exploring the world of lucid dreaming (including methods for becoming lucid and what to do once you are)

• Daytime rest as spiritual practice

Our Sacred Dream Group includes:

• Live gatherings, Saturdays 9.00am to 11.00am PT: February 14th, February 28th, March 28th, April 11th, May 9th, and June 6th. These sessions will also be recorded and uploaded to the webpage.

• Recorded sessions March 14th, April 25th and May 23rd, available on the webpage.

• Dedicated webpage that you can access at any time, will include: guided meditations; breath work; songs; storytelling; ideas to explore; and encouragement on your nighttime path.

• Optional Whatsapp Group to connect with your fellow sacred dreamers.

The group is offered on a sliding scale of $325 to $450 (please reach out if you need further scholarship and we will try to accommodate your request).

A Note From Rose: I always had seeds of interest in the mysterious night practices since my childhood (I recall my mother telling me about what to do when I was dreaming and knew I was dreaming), but it is only in recent years that this has grown and blossomed into a vivid and captivating realm. The night garden is now my main place of spiritual growth and, although at times frustrating and confounding, I also find it full of wonder, healing, meaning, guidance, humor, and joy. 

I used to have a certain resistance to night practices as I have had insomnia since childhood. At night, I generally wanted to check out and was just thankful to get whatever sleep I could. I had intermittently tried some night practices from Tibetan Buddhism, but without much benefit.

However, over the past many years through work with plant medicines, dark retreat and meditations, and daily practices from a variety of night traditions, my connection with the night has transformed into a deep, mutual, and sacred relationship: it is where I feel the most movement in the integration of my spiritual practice and daily life. And, I’m getting more sleep and rest than ever!

Part of this shift is that I have moved from having a transactional relationship with night and sleep—"give me enough rest so I can get through tomorrow”—to a deeply respectful relationship. The night is a mysterious realm of dark and light; liminal consciousness; movement through cycles of consciousness from dreaming to non-dreaming, deep to light sleep; and revelations and communications from our unconscious mind, as well as beyond our individual mind. 

Our modern world has a major bias to left brain activities over right brain activities; visible, outer achievements, rather than inner, soul growth; light and blazing electricity over darkness, the masculine sun over the feminine moon. So, too, we bias day and daytime activities over the night and the mysterious realms of consciousness that open up to us under the moon. 

For me, the first shift I made was to begin to respect and honor dark night for what she is and to begin to be curious and to explore—and much of this exploration and practice takes place in the day, examining what has happened in previous nights, doing dream re-entry, journaling, and preparing for the coming night.

 This exploration has been profoundly aided by spending time with others who are also exploring this space. Our Sacred Dream Group will build support for all of us who wish to explore the wonders of night; the full potential of this extraordinary consciousness that we have all been gifted; and the world beyond our individual consciousness that we are each woven into and inseparable from.
