Our body holds our dreams. It is by giving expression to our dreams that we have the chance for dream embodiment, a greater connection to self, symbols and the meaning of dreaming. Our work in this class draws from Robert Bosnak's training with a focus on the telling of dreams. With the use of reflection and incubation within a group session we have the means of discovering a dream's potential for others, beyond the original dreamer.
In each session we will ask for one participant (or two if time allows) to share a brief dream. If you have further questions about the workshops, call (406) 657-1049.

About the Instructors: Harriett Kimball-Hilario, MSW, and Cynthia Hutchinson, LCPC, have used this process in college classes with students bringing their own dreams and have encouraged clients to bring dreams into their psychotherapy sessions for over 20 years.

Bring: Pen and notebook. Recommended, A Little Book on Dreaming, by Robert Bosnak, $11.95, available at Barjon's (10% discount with class registration). It is a great resource for our dreaming group process.

In this introductory class, you will learn what Reiki is and if you are drawn to this sort of healing and energy work. We will explore the roots of Reiki, and its healing powers to align the chakra or energy systems and transmute karma. We will also discuss the attunement process of the sacred healing symbols. As we are in a time on earth when many are re-remembering their gifts and talents to assist in the ascension of earth consciousness many are being drawn to lift the veil of the illusions of illness and the death experience, and to greatly assist in the rapid transmutation of karma. Reiki, as a force of universal love energy, is a profound tool for this transformation.
