DREAM CLASS SERIES
Led By Amy Kisei & Jogen Salzberg
October 11, 18, 25 & November 1
Tuesdays 6P - 8P PT/ 9P- 11P ET
$60 - $150 Sliding Scale
The inquiry into what we human beings are at depth is the primary inquiry in Dharma practice. This invitation is nuanced, textured, blessed, frustrating, insightful and so much more. Dreams are one such invitation where we can come to know ourselves: the tender, the mysterious, the fearful, the beautiful and .... Dreams show us our conflicts, our fears and open the door to worlds beyond what we thought possible.
In this Class Series we will be looking at dreams as a 'read out' of the 'Self'. Call it a way of lightening our shadows and embracing all we contain. Dreams also offer us insight into the empty yet apparent nature of experience. This insight is liberating on the heart-essence level and can transform our lives.
Come explore your own dreams and step into the mandala of the Self.
The way the Self arrays itself is the shape of the entire world. —Dogen Zenji
Led by: Amy Kisei and Jogen Salzberg two Zen teachers and Dream Workers who have been engaged in the conversation between the wisdom of the night-time dream life and the wisdom of the dharma for decades.

WEEK 1 – INTRO TO DREAM AS MANDALA OF THE SELF
Here we mean Mandala as an expression of wholeness. Dreams often present to us images, feelings, characters or presences that we tend to think of as “other”, thus making the polarities and conflicts in ourselves and our world. We begin the process of making this unconscious polarization conscious.
WEEK 2 – EMBODYING THE “OTHER”: SOMATIC EXPERIENCE IN DREAM-WORK
This week we will work with the polarities in our dreams through somatic practices of dream-work, learning to inhabit the felt texture of these polarities in our bodies and speech. We step out of our shoes into the unfamiliar and are expanded!
WEEK 3 – MAPPING OUR DREAMS: MAKING MANDALAS
This week we will continue to explore dreams through the creative process through paint, collage, poetry, dance, sculpture or music.
WEEK 4 – DREAMING THE DREAM ON: AWAKENING THE RITUALS OF THE DREAMING
Dreams hint at ways we can show up in the waking world differently, inviting new ways of seeing, perceiving and being. We will contemplate and design personal physical rituals to bring these new ways to life.
