The Dream Seed: Entering the Poetry of Image

Live Lecture & Workshop
Friday, August 8 
Facilitated by Alma

In this two-hour lecture & workshop session, we'll explore dream image as a potent seed with creative potential. We’ll examine how image reveals as more than symbol—how it invites relation, evokes memory, and reorganizes perception. We’ll follow the image beyond the bounds of dream into waking life, into art, language, and the subtle body. Image becomes a threshold, not only between the inner and outer world, but between self and world, between personal inquiry and collective imagination.

At the heart of our exploration is attunement to the imaginal. Drawing upon our sensual presence, we’ll cultivate our awareness to nuance, atmosphere, gesture, and the unsaid. As we refine our capacity to listen to image, we deepen our capacity to sense what often goes unnoticed. This work offers more than personal insight: it opens us toward a politics of perception, an ecology of imagination, a poetics of being. The dream, in this way, is not separate from the world but embedded within it—echoing the collective, humming with the ecological, and shimmering with creative potential.
