Dreams are one of the easiest ways available to tap into the creative imagination. In this workshop, you will learn simple dreamwork techniques for creative writing that will also deepen your self-awareness, cultivate a greater sense of well-being and support emotional resiliency. No prior dreamwork experience is necessary. All levels are welcome. Just bring along a healthy sense of curiosity and a willingness to try something new.
