Harvest Moon Dreamwork with SoulCollage

Overview

Celebrate autumn under the Harvest Moon! • Slow down, pause, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. • Relax through creative self-care. • Explore a dream in depth. • Experience SoulCollage®. • Reflect on the invitations of this season of your life. Each workshop in this four-part series will focus on a different theme: • Saturday, September 26, 1:00pm-3:30pm Eastern: DREAM WORLD; • Saturday, October 3, 1:00pm-3:30pm Eastern: DREAM COMPANIONS; • Saturday, October 10, 1:00pm-3:30pm Eastern: DREAM JOURNEY; • Saturday, October 17, 1:00pm-3:30pm Eastern: DREAM GIFTS. Before our workshop series, please select a dream that awakens your sense of wonder. For example: • a recent dream, • a recurring dream, or • a memorable dream from a previous season of your life. It is important that you feel safe enough to explore your chosen dream. You may find it helpful to write your dream as a story. Writing in the present tense can help you to reconnect more fully with your dream and to remember forgotten details. During our four-part workshop series, you will have opportunities to experience creative dreamwork practices, including SoulCollage®. You will need the following supplies: • reliable Internet access to our Zoom meetings; • peaceful surroundings; • creative space; • a candle to light; • a written description of your chosen dream; • your journal; • your favorite pen; • colors (e.g., markers, crayons, paints); • blank paper (e.g., printer paper, sketch paper, watercolor paper); • sticky notes; • 8-10 5" x 8" blank mat board cards or cardboard rectangles; • 30-50 found images (e.g., images cut out of magazines, catalogs, wrapping paper, or old calendars), some of which will need to be at least 5" x 8"; • 1-2 glue sticks, preferably acid-free and photo-safe; and • comfortable scissors. In particular, please gather images that evoke the setting, characters, and mood of your chosen dream. You are welcome to use homemade materials. However, if you would like to purchase materials, below are some recommendations: • blank mat boards: Hanford Mead blank SoulCollage® cards; • copyright-free image source: Catherine Anderson’s *The Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water: A Collection of Photographic Images to Cut Out and Use in Personal Art.* (Like her other photo books, this one was designed to be lovingly pulled apart, so please do not worry about cutting up a beautiful book.) If you cancel your registration by Monday, September 21, you will receive a refund.
