Self-care: Dreams and Emotional Regulation

While we often dismiss dreams as fleeting or nonsensical, they serve as a critical biological and psychological processing system for our mental health. This workshop invites you to explore the "nightly therapy" your brain conducts to regulate emotions and consolidate memories. Moving beyond simple dream dictionaries, we delve into the mechanics of why we dream and how to decode the unique, symbolic language of the subconscious. By integrating Somatic Dreamwork, participants will learn to listen to the wisdom of the body, transforming abstract dream imagery into practical, felt-sense insights that enhance self-care and emotional equilibrium.
