ABSTRACT
AN ALCHEMICAL MODEL FOR DISCOVERING/ EXPERIENCING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DREAMS

 General Event with SVEN DOEHNER, PHD., MFA

18 yrs. working with dreams in different cultural contexts (including native healers in Brazil, Mexico and Peru) combine with training in depth psychology and actual everyday work within an alchemical psychology imagination, suggest a methodology, or discipline, which unfailingly leads to both a discovery and an experience of the dream image with self-evident therapeutic and spritual results.

ABSTRACT
BLENDING NATIVE HEALING PRACTICES WITH DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY APPROACHES TO DREAM WORK, "HEALING" AND "SPIRITUALITY"

 General Event with SVEN DOEHNER, PHD., MFA

My interest and experience have to do with exploring "healing" and discovering "spirituality" in blending "shamanic" practices with "modern" depth psychology work. I would like to participate in a panel discussion on these themes, and share my experience.
 

ABSTRACT
AN ALCHEMICAL WAY OF EXPERIENCING DREAM IMAGES IN A GROUP CONTEXT

 Workshop with SVEN DOEHNER, PHD., MFA

The dreamwork leader is known for creating the space and safety for participants to experience images in the dream through sensitivity to sensations and feelings awakened by the dream.  By way of careful and concise descriptions of unconscious responses to the dream by different participants, it is possible for the dreamer to discover and experience different aspects of the dream in ways that only he or she can understand.

The approach is respectful of the ego's resistances and is strictly non-interpretative.  A methodology is followed to serve participants as a guide in practicing the dream-work for themselves.

The goal is to follow a path of sensitivity to the images that will allow one to truly experience and discover something unknown through the dream-work.
