“Regain the fluidity of the body and expand your consciousness through the archetypal forces of nature.”

This 2-hour workshop is both theoretical and experiential. It introduces the bases of Dreaming Body practice by offering an opportunity to experience some of the most representative movements for each original archetype of earth, water, air, fire, forest, and metal.

Why Dreaming Body?

Shamans say: “The World is what you dream: change your state of consciousness and you will change your life”. The shamanic teaching of Dreaming Body is to awaken within us the original archetypal energies by "becoming" the archetype, acquiring its posture, its gaze, recognizing its presence that faces our mind through images and dreams, moves our soul through emotions, informs our body with specific movements.

Embodying the archetype through the precise reproduction of the movements that represent it allows us to change our state of consciousness by entering a deep dialogue with the archetypal forces that inhabit our consciousness as ancient images, inner oracles that show us paths and unveil mysteries.

The integration of body movements, conscious breathing, and mind visions empower us to experience contact with fields of archetypal qualities in which we are constantly immersed and which act within us as the ordering principles of our inner experience.

Join us for this unique experiential workshop!

I have pulmonary emphysema that causes me constant breathing problems and sometimes I am afraid of dying. Then I met the archetype of the wind. I am learning not to be afraid of the breath, to let it come and go as it wants. I used to panic, especially if I was on the street alone. Now I stop and wait for the force to come. And it always comes!

What You Will Learn

Each structure of the Dreaming Body is dedicated to awakening a specific
archetypal force of nature to activate its qualities within us.

grounding and contact

With the archetypal force of the earth, we will learn the capacity for grounding in our bodies, concentration on a goal, and staying in touch with our physical and mental needs and resources.

fluidity and yielding

With the archetypal power of water, we will meet in us the qualities of fluidity and welcome yielding, compassion, transformation, tenacity, creativity, and the ability to adapt to different life circumstances.

will and determination

The archetypal force of the warrior metal will show us the way of a will, determination, the ability to discern between what is good and what is bad for us, the ability to cut the webs of limiting thoughts, to defend our space.

personal power

The archetypal force of fire will teach us audacity, the ardor to pursue our goals, and a sense of justice and self-worth.

vital beat

The archetypal force of the forest will help us awaken in us the deep, rhythmic pulse of biological life and the ability to recognize our needs, spontaneity, and naturalness.

freedom and creativity

The archetypal force of air will show us the way to free ourselves from the prejudices that extinguish enthusiasms and prevent us from seizing the opportunities hidden in setbacks, to breathe freely by affirming our specificity as individuals with serene self-esteem and without the need for prevarication or victimhood, it will give us the direction to follow for our own fulfillment.

“I was not weak.”

“I never realized how combative, bold, courageous I am. I went through sickness and death with the strength of a warrior. This path gave me back my value, awareness, and pride in what I had done. I was not weak. I was strong. Inside me, I discovered a warrior strength that I will never again forget to honor.

“A secret place.”

Whenever I practice Dreaming Body, I always feel like I'm going through something, a secret space. Everything takes on another aspect. In my life I have always been irascible and full of judgment. Now I feel better. The Dreaming Body is my Super Bingo!

– Daniela

“There is something bigger.”

I have felt lonely, always. Yet, when I do the Dreaming Body, I realize it's not like that. There is something bigger. There’s a place where the force comes from, just what you're asking for.
