As we engage in the interlocking struggle of self-survival and species-survival, numinous dreams of nature and cosmos help us transcend the polarities behind our alienation from nature and from each other. We will explore the images, symbols and callings stemming from dreams of nature and natural phenomena, environmental challenges, as well as dream revelations of the interconnectedness of psyche and cosmos. Participants are encouraged to share their own dreams containing nature and cosmic motifs; we will discuss dreams containing archetypal themes with little or no personal content

For this program, we plan to offer CEUs for Social Workers

Judy B. Gardiner has been researching and writing on the symbolism of her dreams since her retirement from a 20-year corporate career. The dream message, which she considers a "wake up call" to our connection with the cosmos, is the topic of her forthcoming novel Lavender: An Entwined Adventure in Science and Spirit.
