Dream and Mask Work

This event is for senior trainers and experienced practitioners in the field of therapy, counselling, coaching, supervision and psychology, who wish to deepen their self understanding and learn about the processes of active imagination and working with dreams.

The intention of the event is to provide a personal reflection retreat, building on dream circles, maskmaking, bodywork, voice and art. There will be some teaching on the dream process. Held in the lovely setting of Hegnegarden, on the island of Orø, situated in the fjords of Denmark, we will use the inner and outer space of natures environment to share dreams, to connect with the unlived life, and develop personal masks as a symbol of new life. Each individual mask is made on the face reflecting authentic characteristics of the self, as well as a deeper archetypal form.

We will honour the discipline of morning silence, a time for self reflection, journaling dreams and meditation. Then working with individual dreams in dream circles we will follow the energy of the dream in the body, working with symbols and images in an embodied form. The energy and art forms that emerge are represented in the mask-making process, which then becomes embodied through wearing the mask.

We will draw on a combination of Gestalt concepts and Jung’s idea of active imagination through the teachings of Marion Woodman. Marion Woodman is a Jungian analyst who developed a way of working with the human psyche through the body, voice, art and dreams.
