Dream Circle

A digital cauldron.

A sacred monthly gathering.

A *lunar* space for collective dream healing.

How We’ll Gather

⚪️

  • ☁️ Collective Dream Healing

    This monthly gathering is a sacred portal—a digital ceremony for collective dream healing. A lunar space (read: feminine, soulful, non-linear, mythic) to process the tensions and troubles of right now, and reclaim our power.

    All in community. Held in reverence, softness, and spaciousness.

  • 🕊️ Guided Story Journey

    Each Dream Circle moves through a guided visualization journey designed to help you gently but powerfully alchemize this moment in human history.

    Each story code is a unique landscape of myth and meaning, woven in response to the political, cultural, ecological, economic, and spiritual currents of now.

  • 📖 Writing Rituals

    Space to step into the ritual of writing through devotional journal prompts designed to help you gently move from despair into your deepest dreams for the future of life on Earth.

  • 🕯️ Invocation to the Ancestors

    A sacred opening and closing, inviting our ancestors and guides to help us move through this moment with deeper trust and expanded possibility.

  • 🪞 The Dream Book

    After your Dream Circle session, you will receive a Dream Book — a living archive of the collective alchemy and worldbuilding we moved through together.

    My hope is that this gift can serve as a gentle touchstone—helping you weave the magic, healing, and possibility we stepped into together into your daily life.

Dream Circle

Space to process

Space to process the chaos of the last few weeks (months, years…).

Lunar tools

Lunar (read: feminine, soulful, non-linear, mythic) pathways for processing right now.

Soul Care

You’ve been glued to the headlines/your screen and you need some space for soul care right now.

Alchemy

You’ve totally dissociated from the heaviness of this moment in human history but you know it’s time to process the despair and step into your highest dreams for the future of life on Earth.

If any (or all) of these sound like you, I’d love to see you in Dream Circle.

Love For Dream Circle

Why Dream Circle ?

Why Now ?

The world as we knew it is splitting open — culturally, politically, ecologically, spiritually.

Institutions are crumbling under the weight of their own greed, far-right fascism is on the rise in the US and around the world, and our Earth is literally on fire while the billionaire class fans the flames.

The grief, the uncertainty, and the despair are so real right now.

In This is How We Heal the World, I shared a radical idea: these apocalyptic times are the messy middle of rebirth.

The truth is breaking open. And what we do now, at this critical threshold — how we hold it, how we dream inside it — will shape the new world that rises from the ashes.

Trust me, I feel the despair too. It feels like everything is falling apart.

But despair, if left unattended, can numb us to the magic and power latent within this moment. At its most malignant, despair can harden into total resignation (“We can’t do anything to change the system.”) And the nasty irony is that it is our very resignation that strengthens the systems that vie to keep us powerless.

It is time to alchemize this moment.

It is time to take this black hole of despair and turn it into a portal — a pathway to the fertile dark of the world we long to see, one brimming with possibility, justice, and truth.

Enter Dream Circle.

I have found that the most powerful antidote to despair is to dream — to allow ourselves to dance with a vision greater than ourselves.

To dream is an act of survival, resistance,  defiance,  and possibility.

To dream in the face of your despair is to call up a most ancient magic: imagination. 

And for the human race to defy the odds of right now, we will need to dream. 

We will need to re-imagine the contours of reality. We will need to bend the probabilities of possibility in favor of truth, justice, regeneration, and love.

We will need to unspool the net of our despair and find the golden threads that lie within them — within you, within me, within every being who has the great privilege of being human at this moment in Earth’s grand story. 

This is why we gather. This is why we turn inward and why we turn to one another.

This is why we enter the circle.

A Blessing for the Dreamers * A Blessing for the Dreamers *

May you step into this space as you are—weary, wondering, reaching.

May you find yourself held inside the Circle — a space to be witnessed, a space to soften into your edges, a space where endings can become beginnings, where collapse can become renewal, where death can bring rebirth.

May you step into the Crucible, where our fire purifies, where our fire transforms—where our despair becomes alchemy, and our grief becomes gold.

May you trust your dreams inside the Cauldron, where the unseen stirs, where the spiral turns, where new worlds are brewed from the embers of the old.

May your ancestors walk with you.

May the dream waiting inside you begin to bloom.

The cauldron is warm

Our Guiding Symbols

The Circle. The Crucible. The Cauldron.

The Circle

The Moon. The Sun. Black Holes. Galaxies. Ripples in water. Whirlwinds. Tree Rings. Cocoons. Irises. Pupils. Cells. Embryos. Wombs. Hands in a circle.

We find circles, cycles, and sacred spirals all over creation. The Circle reminds us that in every ending there is a new beginning. In every death there is new life. In chaos, there is order. As we gather, as one (digital) circle, may we invoke the wisdom of this primordial symbol.

The Crucible

Intensity. Purifying fire. Dissolution. Turning our inner lead into gold. Holding the tension of the opposites. Ouroboros — the snake that eats its own tail.

Think of Dream Circle as a kind of crucible — a space that can hold the intense heat we feel right now (rage, anger, fear) and allow it to lead us to greater possibility. Just as alchemists placed raw elements into the crucible to refine them, we place our fears, uncertainties, and longings into this space to be witnessed, held, and transformed.

The Cauldron

The dark, fertile feminine. The vessel of creation, destruction, and renewal. The Unseen. Gestation. Mystery. Slow magic. The alchemical womb. Power. Prophecy.

Throughout history, radical ideas have been born in hidden, quiet places—around kitchen tables, in underground meetings, in whispered conversations over shared meals. The cauldron reminds us that revolutions don’t always begin with fire; sometimes, they begin with a slow simmer, a deep brew, a dream.

Show Up

How We’ll

Together

Dream Circle is very much an experiment in the power of digital collectives.

My intention is to bring a sense of the sacred into this digital cauldron. Because the work we are doing together — processing the despair of this moment in human history and turning it into higher possibility — is a sacred act of revolution.

I do want to be clear about what this space is and what it is not.

This is a circle, not a class. A cauldron, not a conclusion.

We come to dream together. We come to hold space for what is longing to emerge. We come to find the fertile dark in these shadow times.

⚪️ I will not come with answers.

⚪️ I will not arrive as a teacher or as someone who has it all figured out.

⚪️ I will come to Dream Circle as a keeper of the cauldron, as someone willing to hold the questions with you, to listen deeply, and to trust in the alchemy that happens when we gather together.

This space is not about receiving a roadmap.

It is about stepping into the unknown together, bringing our despair, our grief, our longing, our dreams, and allowing them to become the pathway by which we brew ourselves a better world.

I will show up with:

🌀 A guided story journey to help us alchemize this moment in human history

🌑  An opening and closing invocation to the ancestors

🪞 Writing rituals to witness, alchemize, and reimagine

🌙  A gentle space for collective dream healing—a portal into what could be

⚪️ A Dream Book to carry our dreams forward, as we face the churning of the world

But the magic?

The magic comes from us, from what we each bring, from our willingness to be present, to dream, to sit in the unknown without rushing to resolve it.

How to get the most out of Dream Circle

To get the most out of these 75 minutes, I invite you to come in with:

  • a journal and pen

  • a warm beverage

  • an open heart

  • a quiet mind

  • a willingness to listen — to yourself, to the moment, to what is asking to be dreamed into the world through you

Some gentle ways to prepare

🕯️ Create a small ritual before entering the circle. Light a candle, take a few deep breaths, step outside and stretch for a moment. Let yourself arrive.

📔 Bring something to anchor you. A journal, a warm drink, an object that holds meaning.

☁️ Release the need for immediate clarity. Some insights may come in the moment, some may come days later. Trust your timing.

🌿 Hold space for others, even in silence. Your presence is part of the alchemy, whether you speak or simply witness.

🌓 Stay open to what unfolds. This is an experiment, a living dream. It is okay if you don’t know why you are here yet. Trust that something brought you to this circle at this moment for a reason.

SEE YOU IN THE CIRCLE

♡

I don’t know exactly what will unfold in this space.

But I do know that when we gather with intention, something alchemical — something magical — happens.

We turn wounds into wisdom.

We turn fear into fuel.

We turn despair into dreams.

I’ll see you in the circle.
