Dream Poetry Workshop - online
Saturday, April 9, 2022
11am-1pm Mountain Time - on Zoom
Join us for a soul-journeying workshop in writing poetry from your dreams. This process integrates unconscious shadow parts and supports deep creative yearnings. Even if you only remember fragments of dreams, it still works! We'll also get into dream-like states through guided meditations, from which we'll then write. Bring your journal, a few dream images, and your imagination!
Poetry is a wonderful art form for expressing dreams, because it is by nature a surreal, evocative orientation to language. When our dreams call us into action, poetry can be an inspiring way to integrate them into our waking life. Poetry blends the verbal and visual worlds in a powerful process that is both therapeutic and creative. We can then weave these unique individual poems together, creating a piece that reflects the larger community voice from our collective dreams and unconscious.
In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore the places between dreaming and waking, translating messages and images from our dreams into poems. We’ll tap into our whole being to express the language of our body, heart, senses, and soul, through structured play to free ourselves creatively. We will be using guided active imagination, writing sessions with focused prompts, sharing around the circle, and creating a final collaborative piece.
Bring several dreams to work with, writing and drawing materials, a few objects that connect you to your dreams, your imagination and creativity. Contact me if you have any questions, or to register. Cost: $40

Entering Nature's Dream - in person
Outdoor Workshop with Horses, Dreams, and Plant Spirit Medicine
May 13-14, 2022
Friday 5:30-8pm & Saturday 10am-5pm MT
Come join us for an evening and a day in Nature with Dreams and Horses and Plants as our guides.

Marta, Jackie and Karla have many decades of combined experience and wisdom to share with you.
Spring is the time when energy starts to move again - water flows, seeds sprout, and flowers open to the sun. New life is born after the long gestation of winter. What is sprouting inside you, what wants to move and flow? Bring your dreams to share in the circle, on a beautiful horse ranch near the foothills of Boulder.

Saturday, November 11, 2017, 4-7pm
Join us during this mystical season as we explore the unknown when the veils between the worlds are the thinnest.
Saturday, November 11, 2017
We inherit the stories of our ancestors,
whether we are aware of it or not. This can cause

physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
In this workshop, we will:
~ journey with shamanic drumming to unlock subconscious connections to
our ancestors, guides, and protectors.
~ free the unhealthy, compensatory patterns from our bodies through yoga practice.
~ release generational suffering for ourselves and our families.
~ center in our present strength and inherent health.
Michelle and Marta offer this opportunity for generational healing through intention-setting, guided imagery and journeying, yoga asana and pranayama, and sharing in a supportive circle. Bring a journal and favorite writing instruments. Drawing supplies will be provided.
