This is not a course on lucid dreaming induction but rather focused on how to navigate the lucid dream and work with transformations of imagery and self. With the metaphor of alchemy we will explore solar and lunar consciousness in lucid dreams and learn how to dance with these powerful ways of being in the dream. In particular we will be learning how our own choices in dreams (lucid and non-lucid dreams) create openings for uncanny knowledge and extraordinary experience. This course is included with membership at the Inner Sanctum level but will also be available for enrollment a la carte soon for the general public.

It can be difficult to call forth the wisdom of the dreaming mind to support your soulful goals. This could include dissolving a creative block, healing a nightmare wound, or exploring the non-dual spaces beyond your dream body. And learning how to navigate the dream world once you’re lucid is an emotional roller coaster. Truth is, navigating the lucid dream...
Hi Reader How’s your dreamlife? It's the dog days of summer here in the eastern woodlands of the US. The Perseids meteor shower just peaked but sadly I haven’t been able to see them. Why? because I live in Philadelphia where the night sky is occluded with light pollution. If I’m lucky, I can see half a dozen of the brightest stars in the sky.

They were fleeing England, where Baptists were harshly persecuted and not allowed to even freely gather.
