About Embodied Dreamwork for Gifted Adults

 

Many gifted adults experience a strong drive toward becoming – an inner movement to seek, evolve and grow into a fuller expression of themselves. Carl Jung called this lifelong process individuation. Yet many don't have the opportunity to mindfully engage their embodied and imaginal ways of knowing that support this process. Embodied Dreamwork centers on contemplative and depth practices that shift from the intense editing, directive mind into qualities of attention, receptivity, felt sense and imaginal intelligence that open us to a deeper relationship with the symbolic world of dreams.

 

In this way, we discover that dream images can be wise companions revealing life-forward direction, wider perspective, affirmation, healing, relationship to nature and unrealized gifts that are often beyond the reach of waking consciousness.

 

Jung wrote, "In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves.”  Embodied Dreamwork helps us attune to this deeper wisdom within each of us, learning to listen to its symbolic language as it mirrors what is unlived, forgotten or needed for our personal and collective becoming.

​

This offering is developed and facilitated by GMC founder, Kelly Pryde, PhD, a certified Embodied Experiential Dreamworker, authorized mindfulness teacher, and Jungian Analyst candidate. Her work is grounded in over 200 hours of guided personal dreamwork through Jungian analysis and professional training, as well as years of facilitating contemplative and depth-oriented work with gifted adults.

The Workshop

 

This is a 3-hour experiential workshop that introduces the foundational principles and practices of Embodied Dreamwork from a depth-oriented and gifted-informed perspective. You'll explore the wisdom of dreams within a mindful community of peers who understand the unique joys and challenges of giftedness and neurocomplexity, and are committed to conscious personal and collective growth. 

​

During our time, we co-create a permissive container to explore:

​

• how to approach dreamwork in a way that is centered in right relationship–respect, responsibility and reciprocity, as well as on the sensitivity and complexity of the gifted experience
   

• ways to nurture a richer connection to your dream life such as remembering and recording your dreams, re-entering the dream, and engaging with dream elements
   

• engaging in embodied dreamwork approaches: Kelly will guide the tending of a live dream where you will have the opportunity to witness, embody, explore and share your experience of the symbols, images, and energies in the dream with your gifted peers. We will also explore synchronicities and the collective wisdom of dream sharing that arise in gifted groups.
   

• resources and creative practices such as journaling, artwork, or mindful movement to support deeper self-understanding and your process of gifted becoming

 

The workshop will provide you with not only practical tools for connecting with your dream life, but also embodied insights into the richness of imaginal intelligence. In the supportive setting of the small group, you'll also deepen your capacity to trust your inner knowing and express your gifted self more fully and authentically.

​

Space is limited to 10 participants to allow for a personal, interactive experience.

Who This is For

​

We welcome gifted adults who have already done some gifted-specific inner work and are at a place in their development where they are emotionally resourced and can participate generatively with their peers. Participants are requested to be present with their video on for the duration of the workshop.

 

All of the GMC offerings are trauma-sensitive and therapeutic but do not serve as an alternative to psychotherapy. Please check with your healthcare provider if you are unsure about your readiness to participate.
