THE BOOKS OF NIGHT AND DAY: Learning
from Bishop Synesius of Cyrene about Dreamwork as Real Church
We can have direct access to sacred knowledge, in our dreams.
Our dreams are a personal oracle that reveals the future and helps
us prepare for it. We must not let anyone tell us what our
dreams mean or stand between us and the direct experience of the
sacred that is available in dreaming. We want to pay attention
to signs from the world around us in the knowledge that everything
in the universe is interconnected and constantly interweaving.
We need to journal both our dreams and our waking experiences in our
Books of Night and Day. These insights come from a
fifth-century bishop of the church, Synesius of Cyrene, whose
treatise On Dreams is one of the wisest books ever written on how to
work with dreams and synchronicity. We can learn from him how
to practice dreamwork as real church, and move beyond the sad
situation Jung evoked when he said that "one of the main functions
of formalized religion is to protect people against a direct
experience of God."
Saturday, October 16 (morning): Featured Workshop
TAPPING THE POWER OF DREAMS,
COINCIDENCE AND IMAGINATION
In this fun,
high-energy program we'll learn techniques for empowering and healing our
lives, every day, through dreams, coincidence and imagination.
Dreaming, we have
access to rich sources of healing and creativity. In our dreams, we are
coached on how to handle challenges and opportunities that lie in the
future; we become time travelers and communicate with spiritual teachers and
allies.
Coincidence may be a
signal from a deeper world, and a chance encounter may be an amazing
opportunity. By monitoring the play of coincidence, we awaken to a hidden
logic of events, and gain access to extraordinary counsel.
Synchronicity opens paths we never noticed
before, and draws new people and events towards us according to our passions
and our willingness to go with the flow.
Through the practice of imagination, we can help to heal our
bodies and move towards the manifestation of our heart’s desires. As Tagore
said, with a poet’s insight, “the stronger the imagination, the less
imaginary the results.”
In the
2-day depth workshop, we’ll play the Lightning Dreamwork Game, a
fast and fun way to share inner experiences, get helpful feedback
and guidance for action. It’s a great inner workout that can deepen
and energize your relationships. We'll learn to recognize and work
with diagnostic and precognitive elements in dreams, and harvest
personal imagery for healing and creative projects. We'll learn how
to go back inside our dreams to gather more informsation, go on with
the adventure, or move beyond nightmare fears into healing and
resolution. We'll practice the arts of conscious dream travel and
learn to travel. We'll find personal places of vision and imaginal
healing, release the artist and creator inside us through
spontaneous art and storymaking and performance, and grow the
wonderful group energy that makes the extraordinary easy.
