A 6-WEEK ONLINE DREAM GROUP · SATURDAYS ON ZOOM
Dreams are better shared.
You bring a dream. Seven other people help you open it. I guide the process, but the group does the work. Dreams open faster with witnesses (I've watched it happen more times than I can count).
Six Saturdays · Sept 5 to Oct 10 · 10:00 to 11:30 am MDT · eight seats
MY FIRST DREAM GROUP
I was braced for somebody to tell me what my dream meant.
In theory, I knew that others wouldn't tell me what my dream meant. I still wondered if someone would try to use the if this were my dream method in a way that came across as, here is what your dream means, dumb-dumb. Then I watched and listened as a group member closed her eyes and genuinely attempted to make the dream her own: associations to the symbol of a toy plane, her memory of letting her father down as a child. I couldn't help but get choked up. Me too.
What happens in a session?
We start with a brief grounding exercise. Then someone shares a dream. The group listens without interrupting. After the dream is told, we explore it together, asking questions and following the associations, sitting with an image until it starts to work on us.
Some weeks, we spend the full 90 minutes on one dream. Other weeks, we move through two or three. It depends on what wants to come forward.
It's not therapy. It's not a class where I explain Jung while sitting behind a PowerPoint (ok, maybe I'll do it once or twice, if the group is interested). You can't always think your way to what a dream means (in my experience, you end up thinking in circles). You have to feel your way there.
Your dream isn't just yours.
When you tell a dream to a group, something happens that doesn't happen alone. Someone asks about a detail you'd overlooked (the color of a door, the expression on a stranger's face) and an unexpected ah ha! clicks. In 1:1 coaching, you get my perspective. In a group, you get six or seven perspectives, and each one shows you a corner of the dream you couldn't see from where you were standing.
Plus, witnessing someone else's dream process teaches you about your own. Watch the group work a stranger's dream week after week, and the method starts to become yours, something you can carry into the dreams you'll have long after the Circle ends.

How I work alongside you →Questions you might have.
Do I need to share my dreams?
Not if you don't want to. You can witness others' processes and still learn. That said, in my experience the people who bring a dream tend to get the most out of it. Most people find they want to share once they see how the group actually works.
What if I don't remember my dreams?
That's fine. I'll teach you techniques to improve dream recall in the first session. Even if you only remember fragments, that's enough to work with. The act of paying attention to your dreams tends to increase recall over time.
Are my dreams confidential?
Yes. Dreams are personal. We use Vegas rules: what is shared in the group, stays in the group. I hold everyone to that.
How big is the group?
Maximum 8 participants. Small enough that everyone gets real airtime, big enough that your dream meets six or seven other minds instead of just mine.
What if I miss a session?
Plan on being there all six weeks. Life happens, though. If you miss one, I'll send you session notes (I write a brief summary after each session) and you're still part of the group.
Do I need to attend the first session?
The first session establishes group norms and begins to build trust, so I ask everyone to be there for week one. After that, come as you can.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. Email info@innerechoescoaching.com and we'll set up weekly payments. No forms to fill out. Just ask.
What would you discover if six to eight people were standing in your blind spot with you?
First Saturday is September 5. Eight chairs.
