SUMMARY:Living Dreams retreat
DESCRIPTION:collective exploration of various approaches to practical dreamwork. 
Living Dreams was created by Dr. Michael Yoshpa about fifteen years ago as a harmonious synthesis of many traditional and innovative approaches, which were developed in the course of his extensive study, practice and research. 
Living Dreams Learning Laboratory has been working since 2012, offering a variety of classes and retreats for all age groups in Israel, USA, Ukraine and Russian Federation.
ABOUT THE RETREAT
We will start our day off by gently warming up our bodies with simple physical practices, delving into spontaneous movement, breathing and guided meditation. These exercises will make us feel refreshed and renewed as they give us concentration and centering for the work ahead. We will also learn how to gather and understand subtle bodily messages, which will help us deepen our dreamwork.
During the retreat we will share our dreams in a dream circle, select one or several dreams to work with, and explore specific connections of dreamwork to our lives. Everyone will have a chance to experience dreams as portals to exploring and better understanding one’s life and oneself. We will also see how dreams are created by us as multidimensional beings, and how we can understand their many meanings and messages.
