  • Dream Me Awake

    Every one of us dreams multiple times a night, but few of us pay attention. even if we do attend to our dreams, we may not know how to approach our dreams. "Dream Me Awake" provides a spiritual and soulful look at the dream. I’ll use several of my “big dreams” to illuminate how dreams inform our lives. 

    Look for a bonus podcast that offers resources for working with your dreams.
