About this Groundfloor Gathering

This is a space to explore the wild creativity of the dreamscape - entering the dream cave to explore our mysteries.

Pythia, so the story goes, is the priestess caretaker of Pythos, the serpent who lives at the center of the Earth. From the cave’s vapors the priestess receives oracular messages. So too is the dreamscape a space for entering the numinous dark of the psyche’s caves to receive instruction. Images and sensations found in dreams provide a universal language that spans culture, time, place, and even constructs of reality. Through speaking the language of the dream realm, one builds connection to self, soul and spirit that brings belonging and authenticity.

The dream is the mytho-poetic language that underlies our waking reality. The liminal language of dream can help to re-write and re-imagine our stories and imagine new realities.

In this dream workshop, you’ll receive tools for working with dreams and a safe and intimate space in community to share dreams through dialogue, art and somatic movement. We'll explore dreams through creativity and conversation. Bring a dream that intrigues, baffles or bores you, and a journal to record dream notes and interpretations. Wear comfy clothes to explore gentle movement and somatic practice.
