The Mirror
Level 1
AN In Depth 6 month training for the dream worker in you
You are here because you know the life-altering potency of intentional dreamwork. This work is imprinted in your ancestral codes, vibrant to the bird-calls of the living earth, and seeded in the moon-tide blood of your body. You are here because dreamwork is more than interpretation or analyzation, it is a way of seeing. It is a way of living.

The Mirror offers a 6 month container to hone your seeing and enhance your living and loving.
It is both a dreamwork training and a facilitator training.
It will offer you the skills and practice needed to ethically and effectively incorporate this manner of dreamwork into your life, your practice, and your work.
This program will invite you to cultivate and polish the integral skills of dream mirroring, developing a safe and trusted space with a client or group, and guide yourself and others into a state of non-ordinary reality to retrieve powerful insights, wisdom, and healing.
What is inside this six month container?
It will include:
- How to drop in, and why we do so before mirroring
- Dream incubation vs intentional dreaming
- How to create dream intentions
- What mirroring is and why it’s unique
- How to support deepening into the ability to mirror
This module will focus on the difference between dreamwork when approached as symbolic, and dreamwork when approached with an awareness of the animate spirit of the dream. We will work with the idea of spirit-led dreaming and the invitation to dream with spirit guides.
This session will include:
• Active dreaming with spirit
• A deeper understanding of animism in dreamwork
• The process of hollowing out
• The beginning steps of merging work

PLUS opportunities to receive dream mirrors directly from me, as a way to work with your own dreams.
This isn't just about training you in facilitation, this is about your own dreaming.
Intentional dreaming takes dreamwork to the next level. Rather than trying to control our dreams, we seek to INVITE co-creation into our dreaming. We offer an intention to craft our dreams, and ask for support from the beneficial energies that surround our life.
This program will open up your dreaming and how you work with your dreams.

She was a woman steeped in women's spirituality and Earth-based traditions, and at 19, she helped me understand the animate nature of my dreams, and see the snake not as enemy, but as teacher, guide and ally.
With over 20 years studying dreams, myth, animism, and folklore, I have found that some of the most powerful of life's transformations happen when we approach dreams as active agents for healing and becoming. Much more than simply our subconscious mind speaking to us, dreams can act as vehicles for dreaming our life into being.
I have been teaching dreamwork since 2016, and have been a lifelong student to myth and folklore. My methods involve intentional dreaming: the act of calling a specific kind of dream forward. It was dreams that helped bring my daughter into my life after a decade of waiting.
My dreamer's path began through a series of nightmares about snakes. After years of attempting to stop my nightmares, I met someone who guided me, not away from the snakes, but toward them.
My Story
