Friday Lecture: Using Lucid Dreams to Explore the Self Archetype
What if you could become consciously aware while dreaming—and use that awareness to explore the deepest dimensions of your own psyche.
Lucid dreaming occurs when a person realizes they are dreaming while still within the dream. Scientifically validated in the early 1980s through the pioneering work of Stephen LaBerge and Keith Hearne, lucid dreaming has since become a topic of growing interest among researchers, psychologists, and those exploring the nature of consciousness.
Long before modern science, spiritual traditions including Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Indigenous wisdom traditions recognized lucid dreaming as a path to profound insight and personal transformation. By becoming aware within the dream, practitioners sought a deeper understanding of both themselves and the nature of reality.
Carl Jung’s exploration of dreams and the unconscious introduced the concept of the Self—the archetype of wholeness that integrates the conscious and unconscious psyche. Could lucid dreaming provide a unique opportunity to encounter this deeper organizing center of the psyche? Rather than controlling the dream, might we enter into a conscious relationship with the unconscious itself?
Drawing on more than 1,000 lucid dreams and decades of experience, internationally recognized lucid dreaming expert Robert Waggoner will explore these questions while challenging common misconceptions about lucid dreaming. Join us for a fascinating evening as we examine the intersection of modern dream research, Jungian psychology, and the transformative potential of the dreaming mind.

Saturday Workshop: Lucid Dreaming to Promote Emotional and Physical Health
Can lucid dreaming become a tool for healing, insight, and transformation?
In this experiential workshop, internationally recognized lucid dreaming expert Robert Waggoner will explore how experienced lucid dreamers have used lucid dreams to promote emotional healing, personal growth, and even physical well-being. Drawing on decades of experience, Robert will examine both the scientific research surrounding lucid dreaming and compelling case examples that illustrate what may be possible when we consciously engage with the dreaming mind.
Participants will explore the factors that appear to support meaningful change through lucid dreaming, as well as common misconceptions about attempting to “control” dreams. We’ll also examine how many of the same principles can be applied during waking life through greater mindfulness and awareness—a practice Robert calls lucid living.
The workshop includes two guided meditative exercises designed to help participants connect more deeply with the wisdom of the unconscious, whether or not they have previously experienced a lucid dream.
Each participant will also receive Robert’s How to Lucid Dream booklet, featuring practical techniques for developing lucid dreaming skills, recognizing dream awareness, and working intentionally with the dream experience.
Whether you’re completely new to lucid dreaming or have explored it before, this workshop offers an engaging opportunity to deepen your understanding of dreams, consciousness, and the transformative potential of the unconscious psyche.

Saturday Workshop: Sovereignty – The Queen, the King, and the Sacred Marriage
NOTE NEW TIME! Earlier than other workshops this season.
This five-hour experiential workshop explores sovereignty as the inner capacity to govern one’s life with integrity, self-trust, and self-belonging. Drawing from Jungian psychology, dreamwork, mythology, alchemy, and the psychology of love, participants will explore sovereignty not as domination or independence, but as the ability to remain rooted in oneself while fully engaged with life, instinct, relationship, and the demands of the world.
The workshop follows a developmental arc: Instinct to Containment to Sovereignty to Relationship to Sacred Marriage.
We begin by exploring the distinction between power and authority, self-rule and domination, and heroic striving versus mature stewardship. Through reflective and experiential exercises, participants will consider where they have ceded authority to fear, conditioning, inherited expectations, or unconscious patterns.
From there, we move into the archetypal territories of the Sovereign Queen and Sovereign King. Through guided imaginal work, reflective writing, active imagination, and group dialogue, participants will encounter these inner figures and explore their relationship to authority, desire, creativity, responsibility, vitality, and self-governance. Particular attention will be given to the Queen’s task of reclaiming authority and self-definition, and the King’s task of developing a conscious relationship to power, service, emotional responsibility, and stewardship.
Dreamwork becomes a bridge into the symbolic life of the psyche as we explore how sovereign, instinctual, and transformative images emerge through dreams. Drawing on the image of the tiger, we will consider sovereignty as a relationship with instinct—not its domination or suppression, but its conscious containment and integration.
The final portion of the workshop explores Eros, projection, and the alchemical Sacred Marriage through the myth of Psyche and Eros, and the alchemical coniunctio. Participants will engage in dream inquiry, journaling, projection work, guided visualization, pair dialogue, and active imagination as they explore how intimacy changes when it arises between two sovereign centers rather than from a search for completion.
Together we will explore how instinct becomes contained, how containment gives rise to sovereignty, how sovereignty transforms relationship, and how the sacred marriage emerges as an ongoing practice of holding opposites: freedom and commitment, power and tenderness, instinct and consciousness, self and other.

Saturday Workshop: Living the Questions – Archetypal Tarot for Intentional Individuation
The tarot’s true power lies not in allowing us to glimpse the future or soothe our anxieties, but in helping us actively participate in our own transformation. This interactive workshop invites participants to engage tarot as a reflective and contemplative practice for intentional individuation. Through guided exercises, discussion, spreads, and tarot-based inquiry, participants will explore how the cards can illuminate unconscious dynamics, support self-awareness, and foster a more conscious relationship with psyche through life’s challenges and opportunities.
Rather than seeking fixed answers or predictions, participants will learn how the tarot guides us to—as poet Rainer Maria Rilke put it—“live the questions”. It will provide them with practical techniques for using tarot as an ongoing companion on the path toward greater wholeness, purpose, and connection to the Self.
*Participants should bring a tarot deck (Rider-Waite-Smith based if possible), a journal, and a pen.

Friday Lecture: No Such Thing as Other – Writing as a mindfulness practice beyond the narrative of Self
We welcome Moudi Sbeity to Season 18!
“Finding the archetypal Self has been a topic of deep contemplation across various spiritual, psychological, and philosophical traditions. What is it? How do we come to know it? What does it mean to become our most crucial selves? Is the Self something real, fixed, and graspable?
Perhaps it is closer to what Carl Jung taught, as did the Buddha; that the self is an ongoing journey of discovering wholeness, empty of a solid identity. It is no doubt then, that our mystical and esoteric traditions implore us to know ourselves and inquire into the nature of who we are.
Once having done so, we can go beyond the self narrative in recognition of the interdependence of all things. Alongside mindfulness and meditation practices as forms of inquiry, writing has also long been regarded as a foundational practice in cultivating awareness of self and empathy.
We’ll explore the use of language, symbols, mythology, and story to facilitate insight by encouraging a genuine encounter with direct experience, in hopes that we may awaken to the truth that if there is no true self, then truly there is no such thing as other.”

This depth workshop will include some meditation, some poetry, some writing, some discussion, identifying different parts of our journeys through archetypal movements, identifying archetypes that coexist within us, and creating archetypes from the ground of our experience. We will also face three truths, those of impermanence, of no future time void of trouble, and of no fixed self. This is a don’t-miss experience!
