The Art Of Dreaming
AWAKE!
April 19-21, 2024
At the beautiful Seven Oaks Retreat Center,
by Shenandoah National Park
with Dr. Miles Reid & Dr. James Yates
A Personal Invite from Dr. Miles Reid
Develop and explore your magical side through the ever-present window of dreaming. Unleash the powers of your sleeping dreams and your waking dreams.
• Learn techniques to develop your dreaming attention for lucid dreaming
• Work though and release chronic, self-interrupting patterns with experiential dream work
• Learn how to set, visualize and activate intent, for healing and awakening
• Invoke a circle of dream allies as a vital resource on your path of awakening and healing
• Practice the energy passes (movements) of the shamans of ancient Mexico taught by Carlos Castaneda for health and entering heightened states of awareness (click here for 2 video samples: Energy Passes)
• Experience stopping the internal dialogue be means of a specific sequence of energy passes called The Seer’s Code.
Miles and James will bring together their years of experience as healing practitioners and practitioners of the shamanic teachings of Carlos Castaneda to reveal how the art of dreaming can be a portal for awakening.
