Dreams were considered of the utmost importance at all levels of society for many thousands of years. After being misunderstood or simply ignored for the past several centuries in the West, today dreams are once again being consulted for insights into health, career, personal and spiritual growth.

It is an exciting time to work with dreams! This page describes the dreamwork services I offer, and these are only some of the many possibilities we can experiment with if necessary. If you or your group is interested in fashioning a dreamwork experience that is different from what I've described here, call me and let's discuss your needs. If you have any questions after reading the descriptions below, please email me or call my office at (707) 875-3225.

My individual dreamwork is based on the methods of Jeremy Taylor, and emphasizes the dreamer having active control over the inquiry into his or her dream, in a supportive setting. Face to face sessions are usually one hour long, with the option of recording the session for the dreamer's future use. Sessions are held by arrangement throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I also am available for private sessions during my travels; for details please refer to the schedule page.

I speak with many clients by phone. My basic rate for dreamwork is $75 an hour, and credit card payment is available. To schedule an appointment please email or call me at 707-875-3225.

Dream Sharing & Workshops

My favorite way to work on dreams in groups is by facilitating dream sharing in a variety of settings. Whether it is a meeting of colleagues in the workplace or a gathering of friends in a comfortable living room, these gatherings provide the perfect forum for learning new ways to access the wisdom of dreams in our waking lives. Dream groups can be any length, from 2 hours to an all-day gathering. We can also focus on particular themes when looking at dreams, including issues of creativity, group process, healing, and spiritual direction.

I offer workshops and talks on a variety of subjects: Dreams and Consciousness, Making Herbal Dream Pillows, How to Sleep Healthier, Ancient Dream Divination, and many more. These workshops can be tailored to virtually any range of ages or interests. Please email or call me at 707-875-3225 to set something up.

Dream Ritual & Incubation

One of my passions is intentional dreaming, or what I call Asking for a Dream. I assist people in devising simple yet powerful rituals to call forth a dream to help them with an issue, and then together we work with the dream material. Each ritual is unique, because each dream and every dreamer is unique. Rituals may include guided visualization, re-entering the dream, working with particular dream figures in a tangible way, and creating rites of passage to mark dream transitions and initiations. I find this a particularly creative, deeply transformative process, and the rituals typically come out of one or more sessions of regular dreamwork.

Asking for a Dream, or dream incubation, is an ancient technique involving setting an intention and asking for guidance through our dreams. I can facilitate dream incubation retreats for groups and individuals in a variety of settings. Generally, dream incubation retreats involve an afternoon or evening for establishing our intention to dream, then a day afterwards for working with the incubated material through artwork, writing, meditation and discussion. Many details go into the planning of a successful dream incubation retreat. I am happy to work with you or your group in organizing one.
