Tending Soul Through Dreams

Dreams whisper divine secrets, beckoning us to listen—will you heed their call?

Without a vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18

In Biblical scripture, for people to receive dreams and visions is common. In fact, the absence of dreams or visions is sorely noted. Life in modernity tells a different story; dreams are often ignored or devalued and nightmares terrify, while waking visions are viewed with skepticism and sometimes psychologically pathologized.

But what about the scripture of our lives? Divinity is stirring in our depths; do we believe it? Do we perceive the call and consolation of Mystery, or are we missing the signs all around and within us in the rush of our work-a-day lives? The living figures of dreamtime can support us in bearing the griefs and stresses of the waking world, open new capacities within us, and lead us into unexpected, meaningful, and joyful experiences and adventures.

Join this weekend retreat to make space to attune to the sacred material of your life. We will tend the dreams of participants who volunteer. The days will also include morning prayer, music, poetry, relaxation, gentle movement, and optional creative expression. People from all walks of life and orientations are welcome, including those without connection to a spiritual tradition.
