Dreaming & Writing
Your Stories:
A 6 Week Course
on Zoom
Writing your dreams helps you to understand your inner most conflicts and desires. It’s never “just a dream”. Writing your dreams helps you to best navigate your life. From this raw material, you can also create stories to help, inspire and entertain others.
In this class, you’ll learn how to use dreams and shamanic journeys in your writing. This will help you to express stories deep within you—stories you might be haunted by or stories you never knew were within you or stories you seek to enrich or better organize.
You’ll learn how to explore and expand your stories using the shamanic journey. Often, students find healing and deep meaning from this process. This work can also generate unexpected connections between ideas and big leaps of understanding.
The methods you’ll use in class can be applied to all types of writing such as memoirs personal essays flash fiction, fiction, non-fiction, and journaling.
Each week, you will use the class drumming exercises to work on a project, generate new material or do self inquiry.
In a supportive atmosphere, you’ll experience:
1) drum dreaming to feed your writing, and
2) exploration of topics related to your writing, such as: character, conflict, place, time, language, organization, structure, project planning, problem solving, and reader’s emotional journey.
Additionally,
you will have opportunity to:
3) read aloud 5 minutes of your writing (from class exercise or works—in-progress), and
4) give and receive feedback.
Expect to have fun, dig in, and meet yourself on the page in a new exciting way.

Rock Reading
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7
2-4 PM EST
Ladies Aid Society - Pine Grove Spiritualist Church
34 South Pine Street
Niantic, CT
Stones carry wisdom. Some are over three billion years old, some less than a million. They’re excellent ambassadors of our Speaking Land, if we open our hearts and listen to them. … In this workshop led by Cassandra Hamilton, you’ll learn how to choose a rock willing to act as your oracle and how to read the six sides of a stone to gain insight to a personal situation. You’ll experience this method to gain soulful and uniquely personal messages from rocks while relaxing in nature and bonding in community. You’ll be asked to honor the rocks that assist in this gathering and return them with blessings and gratitude to their homes. You’ll leave with a technique you can use for the rest of your life. …BRING a pen and notebook (to record messages and insights) PLUS, either a fat candle or a can of soup for donation to a food bank—these will be used to mark the location of the stone that consults with you. Pine Grove Spiritualist Church, 34 South Pine Street, Niantic, CT Contact: [email protected] Time: 2-4 PM EST.
