Dreaming Our Way Forward: A Collective Dreaming Retreat

At this time on our planet, when many things seem to be on fire, literally and figuratively, we must be creative in responding to all that is burning, churning, crumbling, and being dismantled. Systems of oppression make us feel limited in our response to the magnitude of what we are up against. Yet, we have the power to dream and vision outside of systems of oppression such as white supremacy, the cishet patriarchy, capitalism, ableism, and all systems meant to further fracture us from ourselves and one another. In fact, we must learn to dream outside of the constraints of systems that thrive on upholding a hierarchy of bodies and keep us disconnected from our true nature, individually and collectively. The process of dreaming during dream time as we slumber allows us to come up with divine solutions for problems that previously seemed impenetrable, such as the systems of oppression and climate chaos we are experiencing at this time. Bringing our dreams into waking life allows us to implement these solutions. 

In this retreat, Michelle C. Johnson will share how a dream practice can allow us to harness our divine power to come up with divine solutions to respond to the chaos and tumult of the world. She will share content about how to more fully engage our dream of creating a whole and healed world into action and guide a collective dreaming and visioning practice. The retreat will include dreaming and rest practices, community building, self-reflection, community-building, mindfulness and meditation, and more!
