Come, join us for this time of collective dreaming.
During this time together, we will use the words (and the silences in between the words) of a poem as a portal to access our deep unconscious. This is where our Dreammaker lives.
Each of us has a Dreammaker at our very core, who listens to the words in his/her own unique and authentic way. It is as if the water of the poem falls on the earth of our soul, and seeps into different cracks for each one of us. After we have allowed the words of the poem to cast its spell on us, we will allow the associations our Dreammaker makes with the words of the poem to enter our shared space. In this way, we will weave together our common dream.
We will use the framework of active imagination and Projective Dreamwork during this time of play and magic.
Facilitators:
Rev. Darby Christopher is an interfaith minister and holds a Master of Social Work degree. She is a graduate of the Haden Institute’s Dream Group Leadership Training program. Author of the recently published book From Anxiety to Connection: A Path to Authentic Relating, Darby enjoys speaking, writing, presenting workshops, leading dream groups, and companioning people on their life’s journey.
Rev. Dr. Sushmita Mukherjee is an ordained interspiritual minister, spiritual counselor and a Dean at the Seminary Program at One Spirit. Trained as a biophysicist and cell biologist in India and in the United States, she works as an Associate Professor of Research at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York City. Her scientific work focuses on high-resolution microscopy and image analysis, and their applications in cutting edge biomedical research. She is thus very finely attuned to the nuances of images, and the stories images can tell. Sushmita’s soul-work is that of psychospiritual alchemy, carried out within a Jungian/Archetypal vessel. This Work is deeply influenced by the teachings of Carl Jung, James Hillman and Joseph Campbell. Sushmita sees images that arise from the depths of our souls (in the form of dreams, fantasies, impulses and ideas), as carriers of potent symbols that can transcend apparent dualities. Images, for her, are living psychic entities which have the power to reweave the torn fabric of our souls, thus bringing about a profound wholeness. Sushmita loves to write, to visualize, to teach and to create art that lives at the interface of Science and Soul.
