*1. Culture Dreaming Dec. 2 3-5pm $20 *

Culture dreaming offers a living sense of our interconnectedness. In the first part of this experimental forum, we tell dreams in council fashion, as people are moved to speak. A fresh composite dream is created. In the second part, we explore themes and imagery in it. The "culture dream" always shows surprising relevance to both individual and larger societal concerns.

Facilitators:
Richard Russo, M.A. is past president of the International Association for the Study of Dreams and editor of Dreams Are Wiser than Men.
Meredith Sabini, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist, director of the Dream Institute, and author of The Earth Has a Soul.


*2. International Association for the Study of Dreams Lecture Series Dec.
6 *
*"Precognitive Dreams & The Everyday Physics of Free Will" Craig Sim Webb
7pm $15
*
A multifaceted look at precognitive dreaming from historical, scientific and experiential perspectives. The lecture will also cover the fascinating question about free will and destiny, and how quantum physics offers interesting links between the two. Participants can also expect some tips for discriminating between symbolic and precognitive dream information and a lively question/discussion period.

Craig Sim Webb, Director of The nonprofit DREAMS Foundation, is a physicist and dream and consciousness speaker/author/researcher/inventor. He has participated in dream and consciousness research at Montreal's Sacre-Coeur Hospital's Dream and Nightmare Lab, and at Stanford University with lucid dream pioneer Stephen LaBerge.

*Take a quiet day to be with yourself and read over your 2006 dream journal.
In this introverted retreat, you are free to use the resources here—art materials, library for researching symbols, and quiet space for writing. I will present ways of understanding and synthesizing themes and figures from the year's dreams.

This retreat is for those who have an active dream practice. Please send a brief description of yours by December 15. Limited to 10, advance enrollment only.
