Description
Every night, our Default Mode Network (the automatic voice of the brain) takes us on a journey of integration and cleansing. We experience this as the stories, images, sensations, and sounds that happen while we’re asleep. Even if we don’t remember what happens at night, it appears that most of us, unless we are quite ill, dream continually while asleep. When dreams scare us, we call them nightmares: These are closely related to the trauma of our lives and past generations that run through us and our family line. The nightdream (or daydream) worlds are rich mines of treasure for our creativity. In both worlds we can find transcendent experiences and scraps of experiences that can open into stories, novels, poems, musical compositions, visual arts, dance, and so much more.
The tools of Resonant Healing offer us a way of working with both our dreams and our nightmares, which is to explicitly invite our Resonating Self-Witness into the world of our sleeping mind. For this course, we will be doing exactly that. The more that we practice bringing our Resonating Self-Witness into our dream and fantasy world, the more we are able to strip away the experiences of unprocessed trauma from those worlds, causing the material there to be even more available for use in creative expression.
This class is open to anyone who remembers their dreams and nightmares, and also for those who don’t. Even scraps of important dreams or nightmares, or memories of dreams from childhood, will be useful material for folks taking this class. And, if people have no sense at all of their dreams or nightmares, they will be able to work with their daydreams or fantasies. Participants can expect to walk away from this class with new bursts of creativity, and a developed capacity to bring their Resonating Self-Witness into their dreamscape.

What To Expect
A warm space that creates room for the flow from thought into expression, support and resonant feedback, all in service of unblocking your creativity and more fluid expression. In each 85-minute class, we will:
-
- Begin with a free writing period
- Offer a resonance exercise or demonstration to support the movement toward free expression
- Continue with a second free writing period
- Create space for sharing and resonant responses to each other’s work
The classes will be recorded for participants in many time zones

This Course Includes Resonant Assistant Support
Assistant support is available during classes. There are three ways this happens:
- In groups of three with one assistant and two participants, so that participants can practice the breakout exercises with support.
- In small groups, with 1 assistant and 3+ participants, with work with one participant occurring by lottery, and the remaining participants observing.
- Depending on assistant availability, the third option is 1-1 support to receive resonant processes like time travel and unconscious contracts for material that comes up during class.
Cost
$175-400
- This course is set up so that participants can contribute what they can.
- Please choose a variation that considers your financial resources as well as the contribution you would like to offer Sarah and her team.
- The standard tuition for this course is $300. If you choose to pay more, your contribution will go toward supporting those with fewer resources to attend.
Please Note:
- Your tuition payment is non-refundable (but it is transferable).
- This course will be recorded for those who want to learn asynchronously for some or all sessions.
- This work is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy. If you have a sense that you would be destabilized by yourself or others speaking about difficult events, then this course may not be for you. While we hope that the processes and information that we share can be of use in your journey, we do not have the resources to support extreme psychological difficulties.
