2025-03 Dreaming in the Imaginal Continuum Depths – Application

In-Person Retreat in Chapel Hill, NC
Susan Harper
 and 
Rebecca Lawson
March 25 - March 31, 2025

The whole body, the breath, the hum, the song stream, the ecstatic moan, the wailing cry of grief, sublime and primordial movement – these are portals to imaginal space. In incubatory space/time, listen for the seeds gestating in your heart that are ready for this time of evolutionary change.

We elaborate our dreaming capacities through mythic storytelling, Continuum sounding and shape-shifting movement explorations, and in co-creative ritual. We open somatic dream space and circles for listening, sharing, and dreaming.

This retreat includes an ‘allnighter’—a time of silence—for personal questing in a mutually supportive alchemical context. We adorn the room with shamanic textiles and create elemental altars that stimulate the imaginal, dreaming/psyche processes.

Our Explorations Invite Us To:
Expand the body/heart/mind in mythic imagination
Connect to the larger animate Nature surrounding us
Discover gifts as a storyteller – dream mover – dream weaver
Embody insights to unfold magic in the waking dream we call our life

“Our dream tales are essential to us. We use our bellies to receive the ancient mother stories, our hearts to listen to them, our bones to store them, our hands to interpret them and our feet to walk them back into the soil.” Carolyn Hillyer

Through our dreaming, mutual sharing, and attunement with nature, we enter a deep relatedness with the original worldwide web of life. Come sing the song that lives deep in your soul and contribute vital energy to the healing and renewal of our shared world.

Event Format

Through inspirational principles and experiential instructions, Susan or Rebecca will guide meditative and perceptual explorations and offer extended Continuum dives. There will be paired exercises and communal co-creative rituals.

Limited to 22 participants, Continuum experience a must.
