Dreams show you where you are in your present tense. Every night – without exception – you embark on a journey into your own self. Each journey holds a seed for transformation and shows you a way back to a place of aliveness, creativity and connection.

The key to dreaming is the body. As an embodied being, you experience the world through sensing and feeling. The body puts these unique experiences into form, via images, so that we can see and understand them. These images become the visual language of your dreaming.

In this workshop you will learn to work with your dreaming. Experiential journeys in nature will sharpen your senses. Through exercises on deep listening, breathing and vocalization you will practice tapping into the on-going dreaming process, and translating it into creative actions. Working with short imagery exercises will support you in developing a language to speak to what you are experiencing inside. By looking at your nightdreams, you will learn how to shift perspectives, name patterns, see a challenge and a potential resolve, and create projects from your dreaming.

Anna Nowicka, Katarzyna Sitarz and Sabine Fischer invite you to this journey accompanying you with their expertise in the fields of dreaming, somatic practices, choreography, visual arts and coaching.

Sabine will lead imagery exercises on the theme of growing through dreaming. We will experience growth as a powerful life force within us. We will work with nature as a tool to shift perspectives, learn relationships on the embodied level, and arrive at a source that nourishes the life within us.

Katarzyna will lead experiential journeys in nature. By softening the body and tuning into the senses you will enhance the possibility to see, hear, feel and notice what normally slips from your attention. By breathing with this abundance we will work with daytime dreams and the creativity arising from them.

Anna will work with nighttime dreams as seeds for creativity, teaching how to unravel a deeper meaning of your dreams and turn them into action. Imagery exercises will support you in manifesting your vision: focusing, choosing, growing, trimming and letting it all flourish into completion.

This workshop is open to everyone interested in dreaming, self-development and creativity. No previous experience needed.
