VISIONS IN THE NIGHT: JUDAISM AND OUR DREAMS
March 11 & 18 | 7:30-8:45
The prophet Joel foresaw a time when God’s spirit would be manifest among us, when young and old would dream dreams and see visions. Yet, modern Judaism rarely gives credence to the role dreams can play in our lives. Drawing upon Jewish tradition, modern psychology and simple dreamwork practices, we’ll explore how dreams serve as our era’s “unwilled nocturnal journals,” while revealing the movement of the divine within us. Our goal… to search together for embedded sparks of hope and dream wisdom to help us navigate these dark/hopeful times.
