Free for HeartFire Members!

Come join the Alchemical Dreamers’ Guild for a Friday evening dreamwork immersion – and bring a dream!

In this monthly Alchemists’ Dream Circle, we will cover Alchemical Dreamwork Essentials and explore the dreams you bring.

Our Alchemical Dreamwork approach is:
Trauma-Informed
Visionary
Transpersonal
Multi-layered

We often use techniques such as dream re-entry, dream art, dream enactment, and other esoteric practices that go deeper than simple projective dreamwork (“dream interpretation”).

We seek to deeply honor all dreams that are shared, while also realizing their transformative potential. As one of my teachers, Jeremy Taylor, used to say, “All dreams come in the service of health and wholeness.”

Newcomers welcome! I know it can be difficult to walk into an unfamiliar group… feel free to set up a 20-minute Q&A call with Benji using this link.

Location & Logistics:
Location in Durham. Address provided after registration.

You can find upcoming dates on our Meetup. Current dates are on Friday evenings, once per month. Reach out to Benji at (303) 847-5263 (text message) with any questions.

Please plan to bring a dream you would like to share.

Doors open at 9:45 unless otherwise announced. Optional shared meal at close of workshop around 1pm, for a final ending time of 2pm. The workshop will end near 1pm… we prioritize group process over ending at 1pm on the dot.

Who Is This For?

Interested in transcendent sleep practices and dreamwork? Join the only professionally-facilitated dreamwork sangha in the region, focused on exploring dream re-entry, lucid dreaming, Sufi dreamwork, astral projection, and dream yoga. We currently meet at a private residence near downtown Durham. This group is aimed at serious dream practitioners, regardless of your lineage, with the purpose of supporting and challenging each other to continue deepening our dreamwork practices.

Long-term, we intend this group to become a monthly gathering for Guild Members who have completed either the Alchemical Dreamwork Initiation or the 100-Hour Certification in Esoteric Dream Symbolism (or equivalents from other schools). Please consider joining these courses, as we learn to use dreams as tools of healing & spiritual opening! We will introduce these entrance requirements at a later date, possibly in 2025. If you are an avid dreamer and oneironaut, then this community is for you!

You may also contact us via text message: +1 303 847-5263 or email: ready@navigatechange.org to set up a session.

Your host for this event is dream alchemist Benjamin Whitehurst, M.A., founder of the Durham-based Alchemical Dreamers’ Guild (DreamCircling.Com). Benjamin holds a Masters of Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University along with certification in Integral Circling from the Integral Center in Boulder, Colorado.

Notes & Disclaimers: This event does not involve professional advice, psychotherapy or any other form of medical or healing intent. All events with the Alchemical Dreamers’ Guild are based on principles of 100% self-responsibility–you are in charge of ensuring your own physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Participation is at your own risk. Please be aware that dreamwork can be intense or trigger unwanted experiences for some people–check with your doctor or therapist before participating. You are fully responsible for any psychotherapy or medical attention necessary to process or integrate what may come up while sharing your dreams with us.

The intent of this training in dream symbolism is educational and spiritual. For example, the intent of this course is to learn about dream symbolism by sharing dreams with each other, telling one’s story, and receiving feedback from the community on potential dream meanings. Imagine 1,000 years ago when communities would share dreams together when a crisis was afoot–they would sit in a circle and share the dreams they had been having. It was both a means of staying connected, and a means of processing & gaining insight into what was happening. May this event be in service of the well-being of our community. This event is a professional offering organized through the Alchemical Dreamers’ Guild / Navigate Change, LLC.
