Details of this retreat

A soul adventure residential with Zuza Engler, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology

22 continuing education hours for therapists and social workers ($25 certificate fee).

Are You a Dreamer?

Of course you are...

Apparently, if we didn't dream at night, we would be psychotic.
(Although, on some days, it's hard to tell the difference anyway.)

Humans have been dreaming since ancient times—since the caves of Olduvai, thousands of years ago. We dream to make sense of this complicated, beautiful, magnificent, confusing, impossible human life.

How else would we:
-Process everything we're asked to deal with these days?
-Know what the soul wants?
-Be in touch with something deeper than the daily grind?

Dream work is an invitation into the life of the soul.

But if dreams are so important, why do they often feel so frustrating?
Why do we wake up grasping for images that slip away like water?
Why do the symbols feel confusing, the meanings elusive?

Maybe you've tried to work with your dreams before. Maybe you've kept a dream journal that eventually gathered dust. Or maybe you're one of those people who says "I never remember my dreams"—and you wonder what wisdom you're missing.

Here's what I've discovered after decades of working with dreams:

Dreams want to be lived, not analyzed.

The magic isn't in figuring out what your dreams "mean." The magic is in embodying them.

Inspired by Gestalt and embodied imagination, we don't look for what dream symbols "Mean." We look for the lived experience of the dream.

Please contact us with questions or to ask about private rooms or camping.
