Dreaming & Writing
Your Stories:
A 3 Session Workshop
on Zoom
Writing your dreams helps you to understand your inner most conflicts and desires. It’s never “just a dream”. Writing your dreams helps you to best navigate your life. From this raw material, you can also create stories to help, inspire and entertain others.
In this class, you’ll learn how to use dreams and shamanic journeys in your writing. This will help you to express stories deep within you—stories you might be haunted by or stories you never knew were within you or stories you seek to enrich or better organize.
You’ll learn how to explore and expand your stories using the shamanic journey. Often, students find healing and deep meaning from this process. This work can also generate unexpected connections between ideas and big leaps of understanding.
The methods you’ll use in class can be applied to all types of writing such as memoirs personal essays flash fiction, fiction, non-fiction, and journaling.
Each week, you will use the class drumming exercises to work on a project, generate new material or do self inquiry.
In a supportive atmosphere, you’ll experience drum dreaming to feed your writing.
Each week you’ll explore of a topic in your dreaming and writing.
Week 1: Conflict
How are you dealing with conflict in your life and dreams? How does is this reflected in your writing? How can you get creative with your response to conflict? How can you feel safe in a society in conflict?
Week 2: Language
