DREAM CIRCLE
Welcome to the Dream Circle
A Dream Circle is a group of people who come together to share and explore their dreams. In a Dream Circle, participants take turns sharing their dreams with the group, and then the group engages in a collaborative process of exploring the meanings and themes that emerge from the dreams. Dream Circles can be led by a facilitator or can be self-directed, and they can be held in person or online.
Dream Circles draw upon the belief that dreams can provide valuable insights into our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By sharing our dreams with others and exploring their meanings together, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Dream Circles can also provide a supportive and nurturing environment where participants can feel safe to explore their inner worlds and share their vulnerabilities with others.
In addition to exploring the meanings and themes of individual dreams, Dream Circles may also explore common themes or patterns that emerge across the group's dreams. This can provide insights into shared experiences or concerns that the group may be facing. Dream Circles can be a powerful tool for personal growth, self-awareness, and building community.
In Japanese, the word for dream is yume, meaning “the eyes in sleep.” We could also say this is what we aspire to in Zen, the see in the dark, to have insight. For several years now I have been working with students and groups to help us develop a dharma eye for our nightly dreams – to enter into their secret language, a language that is at once very personal to each of us and at the same time, universal. Jung said a dream was “speech that is not yet ripe.” How familiar to us in practice, this wordless “felt sense” of change along the path.
Seido, Empty Field Zendo
“Life has always seemed to me like a plant that lives on its rhizome. Its true life is invisible, hidden in the rhizome. The part that appears above ground lasts only a single summer. Then it withers away—an ephemeral apparition. When we think of the unending growth and decay of life and civilizations, we cannot escape the impression of absolute nullity. Yet I have never lost a sense of something that lives and endures underneath the eternal flux. What we see is the blossom, which passes. The rhizome remains.”
Memories, Dreams, Reflections

VISUAL POETICS
Intuitive Digital Collage
Although my intuitive digital collages are visual, they are wordless, but in this space, they speak. I feel that there is a narrative that can be created by each image, either poetically or in creative writing. Willard Bohn defined Visual Poetry as the “poetry that is meant to be seen – Poetry that presupposes a viewer as well as the reader.” In my case, it can incorporate a writer, who can view the images, engage with it, and create their own stories or poems, or art in response to it. I find that art is interactive, another form of narrative practice, another way of dreaming, connecting, and healing.
My intuitive digital collage holds space for dreams, for coincidences and the unconscious. I believe in synchronicity, that each image holds together something that was meant to be. I trust my body’s felt sense in the choice of an image, and how they eventually come together to make a whole. If I trust my intuition, I trust myself and allow images to represent what needs to take form. Art is about faith; it is about trust.

The Dream Circle
Join my monthly online Dream Circle to learn more about nighttime and daytime dreams and how their wisdom helps us in our daily lives. In our dream circle, we engage with someone’s dream as if it were our own, liberating the dreamer from our interpretation of their dream. In this method, only the dreamer has a true understanding of his or her dream. Please come with your life experience, with your dream experience. We welcome all of you, as you will all come with various life experiences and training, and your knowledge will enhance our understanding of our dreams, so you are all welcome. Individual one to one sessions are also available, but also in our Dream Book Club, we will share the knowledge embedded in various dream books from dream leaders past and present.
