with Jungian Analyst David Pressault

VIDEO SEMINAR SERIES

 
 

Henri Rousseau, The Sleeping Gypsy, 1897

Dreams speak to us at night and shed light on what we miss and can’t see during the day. In the morning, its language escapes us and so often we lose the thread that was so clear the night before, we forget. Although elusive and enigmatic, if you learn to listen you will find that, dreams speak of what is kept most secret and intimate about who we are. In working with the unconscious, we come to find that dreams are the royal road to soul.
