Ten years ago I attended my first IASD conference in Santa Cruz and discovered dreamtime nourishment, information and a community of like-minded people. For over thirty years vivid images, visual metaphors and long-term themes of dreaming have captured my attention and enriched my life bringing a deep interest in transpersonal consciousness. Like dreaming, this interest has shifted and included forays into embodied writing, mysticism, mediation, shadow, shamanism, eco-psychology, intuitive inquiry research method, Jungian psychology, lucidity, and more. Big dreams have both steered and propelled my life forward. They have aided the development of labyrinths, dream groups, helped in the discernment of researching women spies, frequently informed the therapeutic unfolding within my counseling practice and, most recently, were instrumental in founding the Transpersonal Psychology Network (Canada). I have discovered that dreams may seamlessly bridge realities and dualities, and through group sharing bring personal and collective transformation, greater open-heartedness, trust and intimacy. The healing power of the image may give participants a sense of belonging, a place within world, culture and family, and a transpersonal landscape to be within. Why Volunteer? Canadian Dreaming Landscape Western Canada Membership News Ming-Ni Lee, a Ph.D. student studying with Don Kuiken commented that new work will soon be released by the dream lab. Bonnie Kyle (Edmonton) emailed that she is hoping to resurrect a dream circle at the Unitarian Church in Edmonton this fall. Rokie Bernstein (B.C.) is a dream tender who will be attending the workshop in Surrey, B.C. on June 14th. And, since January '09 I have been facilitating a dream circle (B.C.) of artists, therapists, yoga and energy workers who meet for face-to-face dream sharing sessions and via my website/blog at www.dianerickardsphd.wordpress.com This combination has worked exceptionally well for this busy group inviting connection when they have time.

PROOFREADER NEEDED FOR DREAM JOURNAL The International Journal of Dream Research is looking for an editor for proof reading Daniel and I would like to have some support for proofreading regarding language. Therefore, it should be a native speaker (English) who is interested in dream research (because it is completely on a voluntary basis). We plan to publish two issues per year with about five articles per issue. The task would be to read these papers in their final stage and correct any grammatical or language errors.

The IASD Chicago regional, in partnership with The Infinity Foundation, gave participants the opportunity to learn about and explore their dreams. The event, which took place on April 18, was a day-long conference offering presentations by Sheila Asato, Bob Hoss, Jacquie Lewis, Wendy Pannier, and Robert Waggoner.
Regional coordinator, Jacquie Lewis began the day by explaining dream basics in her talk “Dreams 101.” Participants gained knowledge about the most common dreams found around the world, the various types of dreams people experience, and tips on how to remember dreams. Sheila Asato shared her creative method of accessing the world of dreams through “Healing Collage.” Participants created collages from pictures in discarded magazines and then journaled, through a series of steps, about both their collages and dreams. The session offered personal reflection time by invoking the creative process so that the deeper meanings of dreams could surface. Robert Waggoner offered a fascinating PowerPoint presentation on lucid dreaming. His lively talk was peppered with interesting and amusing anecdotal cases of lucid dreams. Audience members gained a thorough understanding of lucid dreaming and were able to determine whether they have had lucid dreams. Bob Hoss offered a gestalt- based method of Dreamwork, alongside examination of dream colors. Attendees were able to work with their dreams through a six-step process and focus on the colors in their dreams. Through this approach each conference participant was able to work with his or her dream and understand the many levels that can be revealed when working with dreams. The day was rounded out by Wendy Pannier who facilitated the Ullman method of dreamwork, a group process, in which one person’s dream was explored in-depth. The experience was extremely meaningful to the volunteer dreamer and participants also gained insight into the rich, deep nature of dreams. Conference attendees were encouraged to share their experiences about the enriching wisdom of dreamwork and to help publicize “Earth Dreaming,” the IASD annual conference, June 26-30. |

Peacefully this morning, Saturday, May 2 at 5:00 A.M. Harry passed away. After a day of visits from loved ones, including a Shabbat celebration and viewing pictures of his grandchildren with his daughters at his side, Harry slept.
Artful dreaming is a primer for self growth and creativity through dream work. You will learn how to remember, record, honor, understand and create from your dreams. Through dream work you will grow into an authentic person, writer and artist, and learn individual and group processes which will enhance your life and your creativity. The book is straightforward and easy to understand. The author’s goal is for people to be able to work with dreams without professional help. It will also benefit therapists who have not had dream training so they can help their clients with dreams and encourage creativity. Wewer Keohane received her Ph.D. from Union University in Creative Arts/Depth Psychology. She is an internationally represented and collected visual artist with pieces in permanent collections of several museums. Wewer has been leading dream workshops for over twenty five years and has inspired dreamers, artists and writers to create from their dreams and to live authentic lives. Many of her students have gone on to great careers in the visual and literary arts. She has also lectured internationally, including being the featured speaker for the International Association for the Study of Dreams on the topic of art inspired from dreams and a presenter at the prestigious Aspen Writers’ Conference. Wewer lives on Cattle Creek in the Roaring Fork Valley of Western Colorado with her husband, Steve, their wolf, Isabel, and as many cats as they can tolerate. Her art may be viewed at
