What might your dreams be trying to tell you?

Our dreams can offer surprising insight into our inner lives. In our upcoming Dream Workshop Series, you’ll learn practical methods for remembering and recording your dreams, then explore their possible meanings through a Jungian approach.

Over four weekly sessions, facilitator Karen Antons Sindelar will guide participants in working with dreams individually and in a group. After completing the series, participants are invited to join Prairiewoods’ monthly Dream Group.
