DreamTending

•

Dr. Stephen Aizenstat will share the story of his journey into the unconscious with us and teach tools and tips for meeting dreams with greater presence and imagination. Through changing our approach to dreams, we move into a new relationship with the inner life. Through that more dynamic connection with our dreams we become better able to tap our innate genius, express our creativity and contribute to the world around us.

Dream Tending™ is a method of accessing the knowledge and wisdom hidden in dreams and using it to unlock creative potential and activate healing. More than that, though, dream tending is a way of living and interacting with the world.

Core Questions:

The core questions are “Who is visiting now?” and “What is happening here?” The phrasing of those questions is important; they aren’t asking why or attempting to analyze. They are openly curious questions that invite you to observe rather than investigate, pay attention rather than attempt to make sense of things. In that way, you stay centered in the dream and allow the dream images to introduce themselves to you and let you know what they want to tell you.
