If It Were My Dream: Bringing Dreams to Life with Friends
I met Nancy some years back at an International Association for the Study of Dreams conference, but back then she lived in Santa Fe, so we remained what we call “conference buddies.” But then she moved to western Massachusetts, not far from where I live, and where she has some roots as well. Now, Nancy and I are teaming up on a brand-new dreamy offering. On Oct. 15, we’ll be leading a full-day in-person workshop in Florence, Mass., titled Bringing Dreams to Life: Tapping into Creativity with Group Dreamwork and Writing.
