Whether you have a dreaming practice or don’t ever remember your dreams…
Let us gather in circle to share our experiences in the Dreamtime – a vital part of life with great potential for healing that often goes unnoticed, untapped, or misunderstood.
It’s time to wake up to the medicine of your dreams and follow the threads of meaning and magic they hold.
Join us for a couple of hours of fun, experiential learning and deepening of psyche awareness, where we’ll:
• Touch on techniques and sample herbs that improve dream recall and stimulate lucid dreaming • Create dream sachets to support our practice • Share our dreams and unpack them with group exercises • Journey to elements of our dreams that draw us in or offer healing messages
Please bring a journal, a small crystal or stone, and a dream to share!
*Dreams can include: what we remember from our sleeping dreams, daydreams, strong hunches or feelings that lead to serendipitous occurrences, or visions/feelings/sounds from journeys or guided meditations.
Heal the Man in order to Heal the Land explores how spirituality manifests itself out of the connections between internal experience and the material world. How can we connect with nature in a society that continues to give primacy to disposability and mass-consumption? How do we move away from a mindset of scarcity to one of collaboration? How can we be transformed from the egocentric “i” to the love supreme “I AM”? In this work, artist Tattfoo Tan uses participatory prompts, games and affirmations to engage you in the play of the universe. Let the process begin.
Staten Island based artist Tattfoo Tan’s practice focuses on issues relating to ecology, sustainability and healthy living. His work is project-based, ephemeral and educational in nature. Tan has exhibited at venues including the Queens Museum of Art, Eugene Lang College at the New School for Liberal Arts, Parsons the New School for Design, the Fashion Institute of Technology, Wave Hill, Macalester College, Ballroom Marfa, Creative Time, Project Row Houses, and the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. Tan’s projects have been presented by the Laundromat Project, the City of New York Department of Cultural Affairs Percent for the Arts program, and the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts program. His work has been published by Gestalten and Thames and Hudson.
Tan has been widely recognized for his artistic contributions and service to the community, and is the proud recipient of a proclamation from The City of New York. He is the recipient of grants from Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Art Matters, Joan Mitchell Foundation, the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, and Staten Island Arts. In 2010, Tan received the annual Award for Excellence in Design by the Public Design Commission of the City of New York for his design and branding of the Super-Graphic on Bronx River Art Center. He currently serves on the Mayor’s Citizens’ Advisory Committee to support the development of a Comprehensive Cultural Plan.
