Sunday March 14th 1-3pm 233 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton
Deborah will speak about Jungian dreamwork and archetypal psychology and the workshop will demonstrate a particular technique for understanding dreams without extensive intellectual analysis. Participants will enter an imaginative dreamscape and probe for feelings, associations and emotions that are grounded in images. The meaning of the dream figure wmay unravel through the group discussion. One soon learns that anyone’s dream is a learning tool for looking at your own dreams. By association, by archetypal metaphors, by somatic reactions and emotional recognition, dreamers find the unconscious speaking through their images. You will be introduced to a technique that is useful alone or with others.

In this class we will learn how to lead a dreamer back into the dream scenes, find the places of greatest tension and greatest comfort, emphasize the poles of the dream, encourage the dreamer to hold the images in the body, allow for autonomous imagery to emerge, and watch the meaning of the dream unravel by questions posed to the dreamer and the dreamer’s reaction.
Demystify Your Dreams; Dream Image Work with Deborah DeNicola. Deborah will give some general information about Jungian dreamwork and archetypal psychology and the workshop will demonstrate a particular technique for understanding dreams without extensive intellectual analysis.
The subject works with an experiential process, entering a dream energy field and confronting projections which appear as dream figures, objects or landscapes, feeling the images in the body. Participants will enter an imaginative dreamscape and probe for feelings, associations and emotions that are grounded in images. The meaning of the dream will unravel through the group’s questioning. One soon learns that anyone’s dream is a learning tool for looking at your own dreams. By association, by archetypal metaphors, by somatic reactions and emotional recognition, dreamers find the unconscious speaking through their images. You will be introduced to a technique that is useful alone or with others.
I have started a meetup, a free writing group for poets who’d like to publish. It’s called “Workshop for Publishing Poets.” We will generate new work and share our drafts without a lot of detailed critiquing but wth encouragment for being prolific!
First meeting in Pompano Nov 29th 11am at The Bearded Clam on East Atlantic Blvd. Please spread the word to those who like to write contemporary poetry.
I will facilitate, bringing ideas and a timer . . . . don’t let that scare you!
The Persian Poet Rumi of the 13th century is now the best selling poet in the U.S.
Why is the Sufi founder of the whirling dervishes so popular among U.S. poets and the population at large? Perhaps it’s the immediacy of his poems and the joy/suffering for contact with Source, whom he calls “The Beloved.” Rumi speaks from his heart to our being about “beingness.” His longing for transformation leads to transformation.
Come enjoy an evening with me learning about Rumi’s 4 step Path to Enlightenment and why he thinks it’s best to get over your nervous breakdown as soon as possible in your adult life!
The minute I heard my first story
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere
They’re in each other all along. |
Rumi was initiated into the spiritual world by a vagabond teacher named Shams. They story of their relationship is quite remarkable. Rumi’s poety is full of paradox and what the poet John Keats called “negative capability” or the capacity to live in ambiguity, straddling different worlds. Mystic Andrew Harvey denotes four stages of Rumi’s enlightenment. We will examine these stages, relate them to our own lives and observe them in Rumi’s poetry. We will end the evening with a creative exercise.
Come discover what Rumi has to teach us about transformation and love.
