The first thing extra that I did when I
moved to this Valley, outside of the
everydayness of life, was inquire from my new neighbors if there was a dream
group going on. This led me to the Stone
Mountain Farm, to the Center for Symbolic Studies and to the Larsens. That was Autumn of 1998. I have been meeting with a steady flow of
characters to do dream work, twice-monthly for these past years.
At CSS dream group,
we delve into the art of dream work and power of dreaming- sharing dream themes
as brush fires, bagels and coffee; offering our own poetry, art, dance and song to
honor the dream.(www.symbolicstudies.org)
Stephen Larsen bestowed upon me verbal
certification of Dream Group Facilitator in his office- a painting of Carl Jung
above his head. I hold this lineage in high regard- from the man on the wall
himself, to Edward C. Whitmont, Steve on down.
I must pay tribute to the other teachers I
hold in high esteem from Jeremy Taylor whom I have the good fortune to do group
dream work with seasonally at Miriam’s Well (www.miriamswell.org) and who has
certified me in dream work from the Marin Institute of Projective Dream Work;
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, whom I have learned with about the Buddhist Bon
tradition of dreaming, which has enhanced my dream practice considerably;
Reb
Gershon Winkler- teacher of Jewish Shamanic practices and source for
teachings on dream from the Biblical, Talmudic and mystical traditions; lastly,
Robert Moss - a dream shaman in his own right, author and guide, teacher of the
ancient history of dreaming, and founder of the Robert Moss School of Active Dreaming. (www.mossdreams.com).
