Crafting a Book of Secrets

Hello friends! I hope you've had a great summer & are enjoying the last lazy days of the season. I've got lots to share, but first off, I'm excited to announce a brand new class I'm offering in Fairfax in October:

Crafting a Book of Secrets~ A four-week exploration of Active Dreaming culminating in the creation of a custom dream journal~
This month-long class series is devoted to discovering and honoring our deep dreams in a supportive and playful group. We'll explore the core practices of Active Dreaming (created by Robert Moss) though dream journeys, synchronicity games and Lightning Dreamwork. We'll discover the messages our dreams are sending us, and utilize this potent material as inspiration for our Book of Secrets (a custom dream journal). Using our own drawings and collected paper ephemera (all materials provided), I will guide you to create a personal and meaningful collaged dream book to collect your most cherished visions. ​

 
This is the magic we'll be creating!

Beginning Tuesday, October 4th, 2016, class meets for four consecutive Tuesdays in October: 10/4, 10/11, 10/18, 10/25 from 6:30-9:00 at Heartspace in Fairfax.

Early bird registration before 9/15~ $130
after 9/15~ $150

All materials included and each participant will receive a complimentary one-on-one Private Dream Session with me. (an $80 value)

To register and take advantage of early bird pricing, please email: dreamsthatspeak@gmail.com
I'm looking forward to teaching a class series where we'll have the chance to go more fully into this material, building the energy week by week, and feel the flow of synchronicity weave our weeks together. For the last 30+ years I've recorded my dreams, and have found the practice to be instructive, cathartic, and therapeutic. I've used dream material creatively for many years, and I'm excited to share one of my favorite techniques, collage.  Recently I assembled my lifetime of journals and was astonished to discover I had 52 of them! (I had figured I'd amassed maybe 10-12, but wow!)

If you feel called to take this adventure with me I'd love to have you, and if you have any family or friends who might be interested, please pass this email along to them!

In other news, I've had a summer of great transition, leaving my home of seven years in Woodacre to move ​to my very own Dream Nest in Lagunitas! It all happened very serendipitously, and I'm loving the quiet, fresh air, and sublime light of West Marin.

In July I ventured to magical Mosswood Hollow in rural Washington state for Dream Teacher Training Level 2 with Robert Moss, reconnecting with dream family and meeting a few new dear friends~

Soul sister Lindsay

Every dream teacher at the training led a mini-workshop, so I got to experience a number of unique offerings, including a journey to meet beings of light, and a very playful journey of the Hero(ine), that included a wild ride roller coaster ride with a mermaid Ganesha! My inner child had an absolute blast coloring all day and playing endless rounds of Dream Theater!

I lead a mini-workshop called "Dreaming with the Plant Spirits". Inspired by the epic beauty of Mosswood, we journeyed to an enchanted garden to contact a plant spirit that had a special message for us. Each participant shared moving accounts of their plant journey, and I was thrilled to offer something I have long dreamed about. I'm excited to create more journeys to offer in upcoming classes and workshops.

That's all for now~ As the season turns, may you be guided on your soul's path, seeing the mystery and magic in the everyday~ The worlds of dream and waking are not as far apart as they seem......

Love,
Tenaya

"Tenaya has the rare gift of making you feel instantly at ease in her presence with her grace, compassion, and warmth. Her knowledge and intuition makes her dreamwork incredibly powerful. Under her guidance, I found myself making new and helpful connections between my dreams and everyday life. Thanks to her insights, I now have a new framework to utilize when I want to bridge inspiration and intuition in my life." ~Jaycee C.
