Temple of Dreams is a drop-in dream circle for those curious about the wisdom of the unconscious. In this intimate, community-based space, we’ll explore the stories that come to us in the night—through symbol, sensation, and shared reflection. Rooted in a blend of depth psychology and somatic presence, this circle invites you to listen for what your dreams might be asking of you, and how they may be guiding your healing.
Temple of dreams will meet weekly on Tuesdays for 4 weeks. Each 90-minute session includes a short teaching on a theme of dreamwork—such as shadow, symbol, or desire—followed by a guided centering and some communal dream-sharing. Together, we’ll explore dreams using gentle free association, embodied inquiry, and personal resonance, allowing meaning to emerge organically rather than through fixed interpretation.
No experience with dreamwork is necessary. All dreams—vivid, fragmented, and recurring—are welcome here.
Tickets are in-person only, Sliding scale $15 - $30 with no one turned away for lack of funds.
