A Clinician's Guide to Dream Therapy (2nd Edition)

Updated tools, expanded case material, and deeper insights into dreamwork in clinical practice.

Upcoming Events

I am thrilled to announce a group reading of Gendlin’s ground-breaking book, Let your body interpret your dreams (1986). In partnership with The International Focusing Institute (TIFI), we will be meeting 7 times this Fall to read and discuss the book together.

This program is a deep dive into the world of dreams, and a clear path to learning how to engage yourself and guide others in embodied experiential dreamwork practices. 

✨ Registration Is Now Open!

The Dream Circle has been such a pleasure to host, and a wonderful way to stay connected with those of you who have completed my dream and/or focusing training. In this group, we continue to learn and practice methods of working with dreams with other like-minded therapists and dream enthusiasts. I also use this group as a venue to teach more advanced skills, and to give you a chance to practice these with each other. All graduates of our ‘EE’, focusing and dream group programs are welcome.

Learn the gentle art of guiding someone inward

Focusing is a gentle method of learning what the body knows about your life and world. It’s a potent way of getting a sense of ourselves from the inside. Focusing was developed by Eugene Gendlin, who discovered that finding and following this “felt sense” can be taught to those who want to learn it. 

This experiential program is about partnership. It is aimed at helping others listen to their body’s signals. This course can be interesting for a therapist, coach, social worker, or teacher, but also those who function as guides in less formalized roles.

By exploring and analyzing our dreams, we can gain a better understanding of ourselves and the underlying factors contributing to our mental health struggles. Working with dreams can help identify patterns or recurring themes in our dreams that may be indicative of deeper psychological issues. By bringing these issues to light, we can work towards resolving them and achieving a sense of emotional balance and wellbeing. Additionally, dreamwork can help people process difficult emotions and experiences in a safe and non-threatening environment.

Our event is designed to help everyone understand the connection between mental health and dreams and teach them how to analyze, interpret, and work with their dreams. We invite audience members to come dressed up as their favourite dream characters as a way to encourage dream sharing, which fosters deep understanding and authentic connections.

Dreaming in Community: Dream Group offerings for Fall 2023

A dream that is left unexplored is like a gift that you don’t open. 
 
To fully appreciate the depth and richness of our dreams, we need to explore them in the company of others. This is why we (Leslie and Robbyn) are offering dream groups — so you can be with your dreams in community. Robbyn’s groups will be intimate gatherings for dream exploration and sharing of the impact of the dream images for everyone. Leslie is offering a dream group which includes dream sharing and a sampling of dream group practices — for those who want to learn more about leading dream groups, but open to all.
 
Space is very limited for these groups, so please register promptly.
"I have been working with my dreams for over 30 years and have recorded 30 dream journals; however, this course has moved me so much farther in understanding my dream life that is so precious to me."
