Sat, May 2 - Sat, Apr 3 2027. Dream Practice Process Group with Robyn Chauvin, MA,LPC, 720 841 1836
Dreams can serve as a catalyst to psychological change. They help us directly approach core issues by bypassing ego defenses and structures. Fritz Perls, one of the founders of Gestalt Therapy, claimed that “ dreams are an existential message”. What he meant was that dreams communicate to us in a nonlinear form about the nature of our existence. The exploration of dreams can be a playful vehicle for transformation. A dream group has the advantage of amplifying your communication with dreams through consistent contact with your own dreams and the dreams of other group members. Often the dreams of others become part of the language of our own dreams, resulting in a deepening of relationships between group members. The approach used in this group is derived from Applied Existential Psychotherapy (AEP), the method developed and taught at the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute. Instead of interpreting and analyzing your dreams, you will play the dream’s characters (every person and thing in the dream) as a way of allowing the dream to communicate its existential message. The basic assumption is that “every part of a dream is you.” And the dream is a vital communication from you to you. The ability to hear that communication becomes amplified and expanded in a dream group. We will meet on the first Saturday of each month from 10am Mountain Time until 1pm, starting in March. Please feel free to contact Robyn for further information. Her email is Robyn3899@gmail.com, or you may tex Learn More...
