Dreamwork Education
Join the Fire by Night Book Club -
a free monthly opportunity for discussion and delight
We'll meet the second Sunday of each month to talk about a few chapters of the current book...as well as dreams, Jung, spirituality, and dreamwork.
This month, the book club will meet the fourth Sunday, Feb. 27th, instead of the second as usual.
Anyone interested is invited: we are reading Chapter 9 of Jeremy Taylor’s The Wisdom of Your Dreams. This chapter is called “Dreaming and the Evolution of the Archetypes” and I can’t wait to hear your responses and questions. Taylor introduces the idea that as humans evolve, we help change the archetypes themselves. He focuses on the archetype of the Willing Sacrifice and connects it to the choices we are making about how we live with each other in a time of environmental crisis.

The FBN Book Club is a free event. You’re welcome to pass along this invitation.
As you read the chapters, look for your 'Wow!" and "How?" -- that is, whatever grabs your attention and whatever sparks a question. Noting these will help you participate in the discussions. You'll have opportunities share both in the larger group and in small breakout circles.
While I hope you have a chance to read the chapters, you can come to listen and learn anyway.
Please come as you can! No commitment or fee. You're welcome to any or all of our meetings.
Dreamwork Topics for a Presentation, Workshop, Series or Retreat
Introduce dreamwork to your tribe. This is a wonderful resource to offer as a church retreat, an experiential workshop, a small group study, or a formal presentation.
You can choose a topic below or I can design a program to fit your needs. Whether learning the basics of Jungian dream theory or experiencing immersive dreamwork, your people will discover a powerful practice and a vital way to connect at soul level.
Night Wisdom for Daily Living: Practical Dreamwork for Busy Souls
Discover the basics of dreamwork through lecture, simple activities, and storytelling. You’ll
learn the “4R” method for working and playing with your dreams, and you’ll practice moving from dream image to waking life connections. Adaptable to include art, writing, and group dreamwork components.
The Field Guide to Dreaming: Jungian Dreamwork
Interested in learning the principles of dreamwork as taught by Carl Jung? Through a series of dream stories, we’ll explore the core principles of Jungian dreamwork. Includes powerpoint illustrations and time for questions.
Nightmares: Three Ways to Work with Midnight Emergence-ies
When you’re in a state of panic, it’s hard to believe that nightmares can be your best teachers. Learn to invite calm and apply three proven strategies for discovering the waking-life truth that’s emerging through your dream-life emergency. Adaptable to include art and writing.
This is the Gate of Heaven! Dreams and Dreamers in Scripture
When we consider the place of dreams, visions, and visitations are in the Bible, it’s clear that God often relies on the unconscious to wake people up. In this discussion-oriented presentation, we take a deeper look at Biblical dreams, exploring their spiritual, emotional, and social impact for the dreamers and their communities. Experiential components optional.
Dreams as Parables in the Gospel God is Writing Through Your Life
This is an invitation to a radical revisioning of God’s presence in our lives. What happens to your story when you see your life as Gospel, and your dreams as parables in that Gospel? Dreams, synchronicities, and memory combine with metaphor, parable, and storytelling in this autobiographical exploration of Holy Wisdom. Works well as an experiential retreat.
