A  DAY OF THE DEAD DREAM WORKSHOP

Come join Jill Fischer, PsyA; Úna Ní Chaoimh and Donna Upchurch, PhD, APN, LMFT,for an extraordinary dream workshop to be held at Las Succulents, in Malinalco, Mexico (Thursday, October 27-Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022) when throughout the country, Mexicans engage in one of their most important holiday celebrations: The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos). Rituals celebrating the deceased ancestors have been observed for as long as 2,500–3,000 years. In most regions of Mexico, November 1 honors children and infants and November 2, deceased adults. After several days of preparation, people scatter Marigolds everywhere as they go to cemeteries and build altars and shrines in their homes. It is important to be with the souls of the departed.

Following ancient tradition, we will spend several days working on our dreams in ritual preparation. The dreamwork, called Embodied Imagination is a therapeutic and creative form of working with dreams and memories pioneered by Dutch Jungian psychoanalyst Robert Bosnak. Embodied Imagination is practiced individually and in groups in psychotherapy, medicine, theater, art and creative research. Both its straightforward process and emphasis on group participation augment the profound experience of this work.

During this workshop, you will be guided as you re-enter the landscape of your dreams and those of others. In a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping (a hypnagogic state) you will be invited to explore the images from a variety of perspectives. Using the technique of embodied imagination, the body becomes the theater for a vivid complexity of states leading to a sense of increased depth of meaning and at times profound psychical transformation.

Our Intensive:

We will be in the village of Malinalco with our host Marie-Aimée de Montalembert. One of her commitments in life is to be able to share her beautiful oasis with others. Malinalco is a beautiful small Mexican village well known for its historic value. Legend says that it was founded by Malinaxochitl, the sister of Huitzilopochtli, the god of war ….. There is a pre-hispanic pyramid in the mountains that surround Malinalco, and the village has a beautiful Augustinian convent and 12 churches distributed throughout 12 neighborhoods.

We will be there in October/November when it is green and balmy. The house is on 10 acres of land. There is one main house and several smaller ones on the property. It has a sitting room that holds over 30 people. There is also a dining room and several terraces, a heated swimming pool and a medicine wheel, with a Ceiba tree (Mayan sacred tree). Marie Aimée has a wonderful friend, Tere, whose restaurant always does the catering for seminars and intensives at Las Succulents. She will do her best to accommodate your dietary requirements with sufficient notice.

Please feel free to send along any questions and more information will follow. The amount of people we can accommodate is limited so please reserve your place as soon as possible.
