2023 Writer's Salon Workshops Series

Dormir Soñando: Creative Dream Writing: Dreams are honest mirror of our soul and the key to our inner freedom and personal growth. This workshop is part dream workshop and part dream writing practice. Dreams help us understand ourselves at a deeper level, and they are treasures that birth poems, and stories. We will begin with an understanding of dreams, how to remember our dreams, keep a dream journal and begin a dream writing practice. We will draw from dream stories of other authors as well as the dream work of well know dream teachers. Exercises will be provided to begin your dream writing practice.
