Dreams, Healing, and the Inner Life (Ella Baker)
This course invites you into a grounded and deeply human way of working with dreams. Rather than searching for universal meanings, we will explore how every part of a dream reflects something within ourselves. Together, we will learn how to sit with dreams, allowing their meaning to emerge, and to understand how they are shaped by memory, experience, emotion, and imagination. Overall, you are invited to begin welcoming your dreams as a reliable and meaningful source of insight, healing, and self-understanding.
If you are willing, you are encouraged to bring one or two dreams to share, as some dreams may be explored together during our time.
