SDAO Event - Dreamwork in Spiritual Direction: Offering a Creative Welcome

About this event

Led by Christine Hiester

“ Everyone everywhere dreams .” ~Dream Wise, by Marchiano, Stewart, and Lee Dreams speak a unique yet universal language in our lives, sometimes inviting, sometimes fantastical, sometimes frightening. They reveal symbolic vitality that has the potential to awaken us to unconscious subcurrents we don’t even know are there and offer healing or illumination for our conscious lives. When a dream shows up in a spiritual direction session, how do we invite our directee to explore it? For that matter, do we even tend to our own dreams with the intention and reverence they deserve?

What are some creative ways to initiate a relationship with these infinitely fascinating nighttime (or nap time!) visitors? Join us on November 14th for an afternoon workshop to begin to peel back the layers of these questions for yourself and those you meet in spiritual care. Bring a journal, a couple of your own dreams that you’ve written out, any favorite art materials, and a heaping dose of curiosity and let’s enter this conversation together.

Registration is required.

• SDAO members: No charge

• Nonmembers: $45

We hope you’ll join us for this enriching afternoon of learning and connection.

Help Shape the Future of the Spiritual Directors Association of Ohio

The Spirituality Network is envisioning what comes next for the Spiritual Directors Association of Ohio. For the past eight years, the association has served many members of our community, and we look forward to continuing those connections.

Because the original format has lost momentum, we are reimagining what the association could become—and we need your feedback. If you are a spiritual director or student in our community, your needs, perspectives, and hopes are essential as we explore new possibilities for support, connection, and ongoing education.

We’d love to hear from you! Please take a few moments to complete this survey and share your hopes for how the Spiritual Directors Association can support and inspire you.
