Embodied Dreamwork, Ritual & Play Workshop

February 25th 2023

12pm-5pm

Sliding Scale contribution- 50£- £125

• Limited to a Total of 8 participants

Have you been yearning to deepen your relationship to your dream body, to uncover what your subconscious is trying to communicate with you?  Are you curious about Ritual Theatre and Play and how all 3 of these elements ( Dreamwork, Ritual, Play) can assist to awaken your life and bring about more of what you want and less of what you don't?  If you are... So am I!

Invitation:

Calling out to all the curious ones, those whom are ready to listen and willing to drop into their dream landscapes, to embody, to share and to create with the inspiration that our dreams are communicating with us. It is my understanding that our dreams are our helpers. Every night we are offered information that can guide us to shape and form the decisions that we make with our lives. It is a dangerous feat to uncover our own dreams as we are highly influenced by our narrowed bias. Which is why I am excited to bring together a group of willing curious dreamers for one whole weekend, to explore, to embody and to share our dreams. We will then carry the insights from these dream landscapes into creativity, ritual theatre and play, the intention here is to go beyond cognitive comprehension, to embody and embed these insights into nature based ritual that can uplift and support our lives. 

I have been apprenticing my dreams for more than 10 years now and since the pandemic I decided to listen more closely, writing my dreams everyday, exploring lucid dreaming and painting amongst other things.  This so called dream tending led me to undertake a year long  initiation in dream work which included a certification course in Experiential Embodied Dreamwork. 

As a Clown and Creative coach (founder and facilitator of www.Clownlife.org) I am curious about how our dreams can influence our creative lives and our well being at large. Since committing to my dream practice (which I will teach on this course and mention below) my life has completely transformed. I am not alone on this, in my research, I have come to see just how influential and transformational dreamwork can be and for millions of people around the world since time immemorial.  Dream tending has been one of the most profound and empowering creative practices that I have committed myself to in the past 10 years, which is why I am excited to share this work with you now.

This workshop is the first of this kind (which is the reason why I have priced it so low for what it will be). I want to recognise and acknowledge that this workshop will be an exploration, an experiment, a research for me in how my Embodied Dream work can meet and dance with the work I facilitate in Ritual and Play. These three pillars of Dreamwork, Ritual and Play on their own hold such incredible potential for transformation, empowerment, discovery, and deep life insights, so for me, I have absolutely no doubt that in bringing all of these forms together for a weekend, we will uncover something big, meaningful and rich. It is my greatest intention to hold the space with delicacy and to co-create a safe container with and for us all to listen and support each other with compassion, care and understanding and so for this reason I am keeping our group small in size.  I invite all players in on this conversation around how Dreamwork, Ritual and Play can come together and alchemise our lives. Whilst I will offer; exercises, dreamwork practices, rituals and games, I see this weekend as an emerging open conversation around the potential of creative practices and deep listening.
