The Oracle Within: Dreams, Imagination, Synchronicity

"Go to the limits of your longing " ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

"If you do not follow your longing, then you do not follow yourself..." ~ Carl Jung (Liber Novus)

"The imagination awakens the wildness of the heart", writes John O'Donohue, "it returns us to our native wildness, to the natural and seamless fluency of our own nature." Following this theme, this soul making exploration will enable you to discern more fully what longs to be actualised in your life. By inviting you to consider a perspective which emphasises imagination and dreams, and the phenomenon of synchronicity in relation to this, this experiential weekend will invite you to consider the metaphor of "inner compass" or Oracle Within as a potential source of guidance in life. As the poet David Whyte puts it, this exploration will remind you how to "fall toward the centre of your longing", and to trust what might emerge as important indicators for your way forward. The weekend will include working with dreams, guided visualisations, and balanced with relevant theory and poetry. There will also be an opportunity for image making.
