Dream Tending and Deep Imagination Certificate I Program with Stephen Aizenstat, Ph.D.
(Limited Space Available)
February 7, 2022 – August 3, 2022
The Certificate program will occur online and on the *Pacifica Lambert Campus
The Dream Tending and Deep Imagination Certificate I Program is a limited-enrollment program that takes place over four separate three-day sessions. The four courses reflect the multiple dimensions of psychic life and the dream. Learning in dream theory and methodology is both content based and experiential. Much of the learning will also take place in the dimension of dream life that is sensitive to aesthetic perceiving, poetic imagining, shamanic intuiting, and the art of not-knowing.
The Dream Tending and Deep Imagination Certificate I program offers Continuing Education Credits and enrollment is limited.
We are pleased to report that we have added some important elements to the Certificate I Dream Tending program. We will start with a one-day workshop of orientation, “Coming Together- The Calling Before the Journey” happening prior to our first module. During this day, you will receive the tools and resources that will provide the keys to start the process of Dream Tending. We will be previewing the entire four-module course of study and offer dream incubation methods to help you further deepen into the realms of dream and imagination.
Beginning on February 7th, 2022, we will conduct the three-day Module One course. We have just learned, with safety protocols in place, that the campus at Pacifica Graduate Institute will be open to the public starting in Winter, which allows us to host four sessions in residence. We are adding a June session (June 6th – 8th, 2022) so all four modules will begin two months apart. In addition, we are creating a personal, interactive online simulcast opportunity for our international participants and others who desire the online option.
There is no extra cost for this addition to our program, and payment plans and limited scholarships will continue to be available. Please contact Samantha Eddy, the Program Coordinator, with any questions at Samantha@dreamtending.com or 805-770-0192.
