Missing Cat & Faceless Dance Partner (Real Live Dreamwork with Viviana)
Lots of movement in this dreamwork session, exploring Viviana’s recurring dream themes of loss and frustration. You might recognize some motifs from your own dreams: a lost pet, a missing key. And there are unique images too, like her faceless dance partner. You’ll hear me share through the lens of Chinese Five Element energetics, on…
