winter dream circle
“Every understood dream is like a slight electric shock into higher consciousness.”
—Marie-Louise Von Franz
In Western culture, many of us live with a sense of existential confusion. We lack shared myths, and our inner experiences are treated as problems to be fixed rather than sources of meaning.
Dream work invites meaning instead of randomness. It reveals that messages are coming through our dreams, and that our attention matters. It is a kind of inner technology that teaches us how to live with mystery without collapsing into it.
The Winter Dream Circle is a collaborative workshop in which participants learn to interpret and find personal meaning in nocturnal dreams. Each meeting focuses on two to three dreams brought by participants.
The orientation is Jungian, understanding dreams as significant communication from the unconscious, guiding the dreamer toward wholeness. Within this framework, the Ullman Method, Focusing, and somatic practices are introduced to deepen understanding.
Please note that this is not a therapy group. Rather, it is a supportive learning space for dream work and connecting with the wisdom of the unconscious.

FAQ
“What if I don’t remember my dreams?”
In this group, you’ll learn methods to support dream recall. With a bit of practice, most people begin to remember more dreams and feel a stronger connection to them.
“Do I have to share my dreams with the group?”
Sharing dreams is always optional. Even if you don’t bring a dream, you’ll be engaged, learning the methods, participating in the process, and working with others’ dreams.
“Why should I work with my dreams?”
Dreams illuminate neglected aspects of our lives. By bringing these parts into awareness, we can move beyond blind spots and free up creative energy that has been locked in the unconscious.
Some dreams have an archetypal or numinous quality. These experiences can renew a sense of meaning or spiritual connection.
Over time, many people come to experience their dream life as a kind of inner compass that strengthens intuition and self-trust.
