DYW Kids®
DYW Kids® teaches young
dreamers, and their adult mentors,
how to work with
dreaming and the
spontaneous imagination as
a tool for creativity and
transformation
Through an interactive, experiential program, we teach young dreamers how to tap into their inner capabilities and creativity to create change in themselves and the outer world in which they live.
Applying Dreamwork skills adapted to young dreamers, kids discover their innate, unique abilities and the capacity to see this in others. Dreamwork develops the ability to notice patterns, necessities, and problem solve. Young dreamers become more courageous, open, and compassionate, while developing their intuition, and cultivating a sense of deep connection with their bodies, nature, each other, and the world. They develop emotional regulation, and discover their own tools for resiliency and meeting challenge.
Among the groups we’ve had the pleasure to work are Zachęta Polish National Gallery, Fabrik Potsdam, Nowy Theatre, Teatr Kana / Inna Bajka Festival, and Play! Zu Gast.
We offer elementary through high school, and university, programs, and online and in-person configurations. English, Polish, and German languages. To bring a program to your group of young dreamers, contact us.
