Dream Portal: Winter workshops and advanced dream trainings
|
Hi Reader, How's your dream life? Here's the info on my winter quarter workshops in the Dream Portal. Members in the Inner Sanctum level get access to all three of these courses; it's a killer deal. And because you're a subscriber to my newsletter, you can use a 15% coupon off on membership. that coupon is: NEWSLETTER Starting January 27th, I'll be leading a three week exploration into ancestral dreams. This workshop series focuses on inviting ancestral wisdom through our imaginal portals of dreams, intuition and synchronicity. This work is both collective and deeply personal, so we will take care as we support one another in our individual dream calibration practices. With an anti-racist and non-appropriative lens, ancestral dreamwork rests on the embodied wisdom that we all have access to our own deep lineages, even if we have lost all our names and original homes. As such, this is about ancestral recovery of past life ways as well as a practice of divination as we dream forward rich "ancestral futures." Ultimately, this workshop is an opportunity to sweep the path clear so we can listen and embody our own decolonized ancestral mind. Also, we will be inviting psychologist Linda Schiller, author of the new book Ancestral Dreaming, to join us for an intimate conversation during the course. Get access to Ancestral Dream Calibration and the other courses listed below by subscribing to the Dream Portal's Inner Sanctum here, which comes with access to past courses, live dream sharing and expert guests too! Don't forget to use the coupon code NEWSLETTER in the cart Katrina Dreamer is welcoming a new cohort into their popular and transformative 6 week workshop Social Justice Dreaming. Shake off the winter cobwebs and move confidently into spring with a cohort of like minded dreamers and intuitives who care about social justice. Each week will include guiding questions in the forum for journaling and personal reflection on how to connect intuitive practices with your particular arena of activism. Additionally, Katrina will include weekly case studies demonstrating how the intuitive practices in the class can work in your life. As always, folks can connect in the class's special area of the portal to cultivate community. This course is available a-la carte (separately) for $100 if you enroll before February 1st. The course is also included in winter membership if you subscribe in the Inner Sanctum. So if you are only interested in this workshop enroll here. If you're also interested in the other courses this quarter, subscribe here. This 5 week training is designed to take you from SCARED to SACRED in your sleep paralysis and hypnagogic dream practices. If you are an experiencer of sleep paralysis, you're not a victim. The phenomenon is a double-edged sword. What we experience as "sleep paralysis" is just the feeling of being stuck between two worlds --waking consensual reality and the Imaginal. That vulnerability actually turns out to be a powerful gift for calling big dreams. Sleep paralysis visions can easily shift us into cosmic realms of healing, knowledge and transcendence. This perspective is not just new age propaganda, but drawn from the world's ethnography, and history of religious experience, and grounded from the perspective of transpersonal psychology and the latest scientific research. As the author of the best-selling book Sleep paralysis, I have been charting these lucid territories for decades. When we move beyond the fear of the unknown, new possibilities await. This is a course for getting unstuck and becoming free. Visionary Hypnagogia will officially go on sale in a month (for a substantially higher price), but you can secure your seat now by subscribing to the Inner Sanctum level in the Dream Portal to get access to this course and the other courses listed above.

This morning, I woke up from a dream and then closed my eyes. I felt the energetic rumbles take hold and "I" slipped through the mattress into a cool dark space. I was immersed in unseen water, and I felt the waters healing me. Relaxing into it, I then felt like I was drawn by a current of water, like drifting down a river. I woke up to the sound of morning world (honking horns) and despite my annoyance of the wake up -- I felt absolutely refreshed. Ok, time to get to kids to school. This is...
Hi Reader, How's your dreamlife? I was a guest on Coast to Coast radio last week, talking about sleep paralysis night-mares and visionary hypnagogia. The phones really lit up. Even after an hour of taking callers, we barely dented the requests and George Noory had to apologize to listeners that we were out of time. I heard some incredible first-hand accounts. I was blown away with how many people have had this experience -- and how many are just at a complete loss of how to interpret what...
It's dang cold here in Philadelphia. And it's also St Brigit's Eve, the day before the first day of mid-winter, as celebrated by my Irish and Scottish ancestors as Imbolc. There's an old story in Ireland that this is the time when the winter goddess the Cailleach gives her power over to Brigit and her warming ways. As the winter goddess, the Cailleach is a powerful being. She often is depicted as an old woman who lives in a small hut in the forest. Sometimes she is depicted in terrifying...
