The archetypal landscape of psyche is profound. Collective themes and images emerge in our dreams, inviting us individually to ponder shared questions and pursue similar areas of growth. Exploring dreamwork and archetypal themes together can provide a deepened understanding of our own individual psyches and the infinite ways in which we are connected.
In this six-week seminar on symbols and dreamwork, we’ll begin each session amplifying a frequent dream theme—one single image from a mythic, archetypal, and cultural perspective. There are countless directions in which we could move. Some of the symbols likely to lead this archetypal deep-dive are Snake, Spider, Water, Homes, Cars, and Airplanes. Dreams with these elements tend to share themes with one another and they’re commonly occurring.
After discussing a dream symbol through lecture and discussion, we’ll spend time with one of the group participant’s dreams. Satya will host the dreamer, “feeling into” the dream for associations and amplification of images, inviting personal reflections before opening up the exploration to the larger gathering for “if this were my dream…” ; a safe, guided query into the way the dream impacts and resonates with others.
All participants will be invited at the start of each session to state whether they’d like to work a particular dream with the group. A dream will then be chosen by psyche, through synchronistic chance, with total trust that the dream we’ll work is the dream meant for the group that day.
These sessions will build on Satya’s eight-week course held in March and April of this year, though it is not necessary to have taken that seminar in order to participate.
A closed, safe online community space will be available to group participants for continued sharing and collective learning between weeks.
Recordings: All sessions will be recorded for any participants who are unable to attend the live salons or who prefer to watch at a different time.
