How to lead a dream group
4 classes, May/June 2024

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.

“I had such a wonderful experience in the group… Honestly, if I had to choose one word to describe my experience, it would be inspirational.”

“The dream group was extraordinary. Thank you for guiding us with care, precision and expertise.”

This is kind of glowing feedback we have received from our fall dream group sessions.

And it was such a pleasure for Robbyn and me to host that we are going to offer new dream group options starting soon!

Community Dream Group with Robbyn

Master dream community tender Robbyn Peters Bennett is offering a Wednesday morning group, limited to 8 participants. These dream groups are intended to hold our dream lives in community. We will work with dreams offered by group members using active imagination, focusing and collective dream reflection. These methods both deepen the dream for the dreamer and also activate the dreaming imagination for the group, bringing awareness of how the aliveness of dreams can touch and support us all.
