A Dreamwork Circle for Women in Transition
with Dreamwork Practitioner and Certified Hypnotherapist Susan Audrey
Our dreams can be potent during a transitional stage, holding much wisdom and guidance to help us navigate and find peace in our new situation.
When we take a new path, whether by choice or because life steers us there, the change often comes with stress. Loss of a job, a new job, divorce, a new relationship, losing a home or a loved one, retiring, dealing with illness or aging, becoming a new parent or adjusting to an empty nest, even embarking on a new adventure are all transitions that can leave us feeling vulnerable, anxious, emotionally unbalanced and, at the very least, not quite ourselves.
In this Dreamwork Circle for Women in Transition led by Susan Audrey, CHT, you will have the opportunity to share your nighttime dreams in a safe and supportive setting and gain valuable insights and guidance from your own dreamscapes as well as those of other dreamers as the synchronicities of group dreamwork unfold to promote the healing and well being of the entire circle.
Learn how to:
- Remember your dreams and keep a dream journal.
- “Meet” your dream images and work with them in an embodied, experiential way that maintains their potency.
- Tap into your own higher wisdom for important guidance during a time when it is truly needed.
- Find the “medicine” in nightmares and reoccurring dreams for use in helping heal and reframe waking challenges.
- Gain valuable insights from the collective dreams of the group and their universal archetypes.
- Bond with others in transition, gain support and build community.
