Read MoreEpisode 33: What Happens in Dream Group? This. (a projective dreamwork group hosted by Leilani Navar)
I could try to describe group dreamwork to you. Why we do it, what it’s like, how wow’d and moved I am every time. But I couldn’t do it justice. There’s nothing else like this. I couldn’t have imagined it before I’d taken part, no matter how it was explained. A current dream group member…
