Dreams and Dreaming

My work with dreams includes four-week classes, occasional one-day workshops in Silver City NM, weekend (or longer) dream retreats in various venues, and one-to-one work face-to-face, by phone, or by email.

The work combines approaches, techniques, and wisdom garnered from Carl Jung, Jeremy Taylor, Robert Moss, and classical Sufi work with dreams.  My understanding is that dreams originate from the depths of the self and include messages about the body,  heart, and soul, as well as realms beyond.  They are gifts from the Spirit of Guidance that come in the service of health and wholeness.  I believe that as the human family collectively becomes more and more awake spiritually, we will discover that our dreams, our lives, and our selves form an interconnected web of One Being.

SoulWork 
 
SoulWork was developed by Moineddin Carl Jablonski, a post-modern shaman and successor to Murshid Samuel Lewis as Pir (Spiritual head) of the Sufi Ruhaniat International.  He served in that capacity for 30 years until his passing in 2001.

SoulWork is a way of freeing the body, heart and soul into greater presence and embodied spirituality.  It is a way of experience rather than imagination.  It follows the Sufi principle that each human being is here with the ultimate and primal impulse of the fulfillment of the Soul's purpose on the earth in the now.  It is both an approach to spiritual practice, applicable to many paths, as well as method of psycho-spiritual counseling.
 
It is different from traditional psychotherapy in that sessions occur significantly less frequently. There is the need for absorption time between each session to allow for integration of supraconscious, subconscious and conscious reality. Sessions may occur bi-weekly for several months, or the participant may work on a monthly or even annual basis to receive the benefit of this work.
 
Sessions last approximately one to one and a half hours and carry deep interior communion with the inner family at the “Table of Holy Wisdom,” The basic template of seven selves is used as a starting point, although some sessions very quickly move into their own unique model including other aspects of the self.  The basic template includes High Self, Male, Female, Child, Doctor, Mental Judge and Astral Judge.  Personal and spiritual ancestors may also appear and participate in this dialogue and healing.
 
The participant is guided into dialogue and communion with each member of the inner family. From a place of deep listening and stillness, established through breathwork, a framework of safety and guidance is focused and held by the practitioner.
 
Through the assistance of the trained facilitator, the participant is guided into the place between the two worlds, between sleeping and waking, conscious and unconscious, which allows access to both subconscious and supraconscious. The participant can then dialogue within this larger perspective of reality. From a place of deep relaxed breath and grounding, there is access to inner guidance and the wisdom that lives within each human being.
 
As a trained SoulWork facilitator, I offer these individual sessions.  It is important to begin with face-to-face sessions; after several of these, individuals at a distance who wish to continue with sessions may do so by phone.
 
I also offer SoulWork in group retreat settings, where the work may include group guided SoulWork meditations, walking, art, movement, dance, breath, writing and poetry.
 
Fees:
Individual sessions (face-to-face or by phone): $33-66 sliding scale
Group retreats: varies by circumstances
 
 
 
   Spiritual Counseling   
 
We can meet together face-to-face or by phone regularly for guidance for one’s spiritual life, or occasionally, or as a onetime occurrence.  If you already have a spiritual guide, it is best to work with that person.  This work can include guidance for personal retreat, working with a life dilemma or passage, purification from invasive negative influences (exorcism), and/or occasional checking-in regarding spiritual practice.  Dreamwork or SoulWork may be indicated (see above).
 
Fees vary by circumstance.

 
 
Healing

Healing work can include Reiki (hands-on energy work and distance healing).  Can be combined with dreamwork and/or SoulWork.
 
Fees vary by circumstance.
