What is your Sacred Dream?
This 4-month online course is an invitation, a process, an exploration to awaken and empower you to live in your authenticity and to uncover or bring into being your Sacred Dream.
There is no set equation here to get from starting point A to an embodiment of your Sacred Dream at Point B or Z or ? Rather, this course offers tools, practices, discussion and more to inquire into yourself, to ask questions that invite a pause, at times a quieting, sometimes movement, spiritual exploration and an inquisitiveness into patterns of being. In this way, the inquiry becomes the teacher, the soft voice within is given space to be heard and you can begin to dance with your soul’s knowing.
Each of us has a sacred dream, a soul’s purpose for this lifetime here on Earth. For some, this soul’s calling is ever evolving, revealing itself in various ways as life unfolds. For others, there is a knowing or a pull from a young age in a certain direction. Regardless of how or when we come to recognize our Sacred Dream, there is a feeling of deep alignment when we connect in with our soul’s purpose. When speaking of a Sacred Dream, this doesn’t necessarily mean your career path or your “work” in this world, although for some the two coincide. A Sacred Dream is a vision, an expression, an embodiment or an alignment with one’s Soul that when the connection is made, there is such richness, flow and a deep sense of residing in one’s natural state.
Drawing from the wisdom traditions of Yoga, Ayurveda, Tibetan Buddhism, Qigong and Taoism, this course offers time-honored practices in a relatable way for the modern practitioner to explore the self.

Who Is This For:
If you feel, with even the slightest inkling, that your Soul has a purpose here.
If you imagine dreaming in your Soul’s calling and are ready to explore tools for self-inquiry and spiritual practices to invite an alignment with Soul.
If you are already in the process of manifesting a calling and would like additional support to continue in this dream-weaving dance.
If you acknowledge a universal intelligence or consciousness or Spirit exists, in whatever way you may wish to term “That” and have explored a spiritual practice(s) or path(s) to connect with this greater force.
This course invites you and anyone who has the courage to acknowledge their Soul has a voice and that they want to give expression to their individual sacred “song.”
This course invites self-exploration and encourages seekers to listen to their own inner voice for guidance. If you are wanting to be told exactly what to do and given an exact expression to follow, this may not be the course for you at this moment. There are times in one’s evolution when following a specific model is very helpful. We believe that following a prescribed method for a period of time is a helpful step on the spiritual path. This course is not that though.

This course is limited to a certain number of participants who join together to build a supportive online community through the duration of this journey together.

Descent Module
The second month of this course invites a journey into your underworld, into your subconscious waters, a meeting with your more shadowy sides. In this process, patterns that may habitually hold you back or create impulsive reactions can be seen for what they are and integrated into your awareness.
