More Testimonials
“The experience has been the most powerfully moving experience in my continuing education and growth as a therapist and as a human being. I learned so much about myself, which is the missing link in much of the training I’ve been participating in . . . thank you!”
~ C.J., MFT
“It exceeded my expectations. I expected a good experience but had no idea the training would provide such a rich personal experience and that Dream Tending would add so much depth to my work with dreams.”
~ A.F., psychologist
“I wanted to share for others that the experience in the Dream Tending Certificate program was like entering another realm, a realm that is overflowing with interconnection, love and compassion. Even in nightmare, the dream is like a sweet love note from psyche. In this program it became abundantly clear to me that psyche is only interested in offering balance, suffering and joy can coexist, and we will survive, really and thrive. Experiencing Steve in the field is truly a gift, the blessing of the collective dream-space manifest days or weeks later but, is so rich. Since the training, dreamwork has come to me. I am finding my clients, women of color, are bringing in their dreams more and more. This training has opened a portal for me personally and professionally. I am extremely grateful.”
~ C. Hardwick
“The Dream Tending Certification Program strengthened my personal dream practice and bolstered my confidence to engage my community in dreaming. I now feel empowered to help re-awaken dream in the world!”
– B. Bain
“The Dream Tending Certificate program helped me deepen my connection to the dream realm, and maintain daily access to the extraordinary healing, support and creativity that is inherent in this realm. It also taught me how to impart that access to other people through clear and applicable techniques. Dream Tending has helped me build a sturdy bridge to my soul. In today’s world of strife and uncertainty, this bridge has become invaluable. “
