November 3, 2023 – June 30, 2024
The Dream Tending and Deep Imagination Certificate I program is a transformational journey that invites you to explore the depths of your inner world and cultivate a profound relationship with your dreams. This program is designed to awaken your innate ability to access the wisdom and guidance that resides within your dreams, and to use these insights to deepen your understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your life path.
Led by Dr. Stephen Aizenstat and Mentors of Dream Tending, this program offers a supportive and creative space where you can engage in practices that cultivate your imagination, intuition, and emotional intelligence. Through a combination of experiential learning, group discussions, and individual reflection, you will learn how to honor the wisdom of your dreams and work with them as a source of guidance, inspiration, and healing.
The Dream Tending and Deep Imagination Certificate I program is structured around a series of four modules consisting of three days each. These modules will guide you through how to create a dream journal, establish effective dream practices, engage with nightmares in a constructive way, and explore the symbolism and meaning of your dreams. You will also discover how to use active imagination techniques to deepen your connection with your dreams and engage with them in a more embodied way.
As you progress through the program, you will have the opportunity to work with dream images and themes that are relevant to your personal and professional life. You will learn how to use these insights to gain clarity on your goals, develop new perspectives on your challenges, and cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and self-compassion. Practicing clinicians will gain skills to support clients in working with nightmares and dream images.
At the end of the Dream Tending and Deep Imagination Certificate I program, you will receive a professional certificate and the option to purchase 40 continuing educational credits. You will have the opportunity to continue your learning journey through our advanced Dream Tending and Deep Imagination Certificate II program, which builds off Certificate I and deepens your understanding through focusing on the wisdom and innate intellect within imagination and how to access it. For clinicians, creatives, and those in the healing arts, the Certificate II program invites you to discover the cutting-edge work of the Imagination Matrix. This method connects you to your innate genius. It is a proven way of accessing the multidimensional intelligence of imagination that can enrich your personal and professional life. Explore beyond you and your clients’ otherwise perceived limiting beliefs.

“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. “
~ L. Rosager, Writer and Creative Coach
