Exploring Spiritual and Creative Dimensions of Lucid Dreaming

Two-Day Online Workshop, Three Hours Per Day

Lucid dreaming, or consciousness in sleep, is a powerful experience of becoming aware while dreaming. Lucid dreaming can lead to experiencing new dimensions of the creative mind, problem-solving, self-inquiry, and transpersonal experiences. The practice of lucid dreaming challenges our perception and habitual patterns and can lead to the practice of lucid waking.  

Join internationally known lucid dreaming expert Dr. Fariba Bogzaran for an interactive workshop exploring the practice of lucid dreaming. Dr. Bogzaran shares a comprehensive view of lucid dreaming from scientific, creative, transpersonal, and experiential approaches. Participants learn the practice of lucid dreaming through methods of dream incubation, creativity, and integral dream practices. This workshop is philosophical, experiential, and practical.  

Discover innovative methods of awareness for waking and dreaming and explore practical and creative tools for viewing your dreams.
