your dreams have been trying to get your attention
A live gathering for listening to dreams through the body, imagination and community
You have been waking up with the feeling that your dream was trying to tell you something
It was.
Every night your psyche generates images, feelings, worlds. Most of it dissolves before the coffee is on. But the body holds what the mind loses. And when dreams are brought into a shared space, something shifts. A fragment you nearly dismissed lands differently when someone else feels it too.
This is what a dream circle is for.
Once a month, a small group gathers live (online) moving, writing, creating to witness what the dream life has been offering. Together.

What happens in a dream circle?
We move through three creative phases:
Somatic Arrival
We begin with a gently guided (with voice and music) moving meditation to connect with body and sense to create space for listening.
This helps us to gather close to ourselves and the collective. We shift into a slower, more receptive state.
Dream Contact
We explore a dream, fragment, mood or image through guided writing and somatic inquiry.
You do not need to remember a full dream.
Even a small fragment, emotion or image is enough.
Creative Integration
We give shape to what emerges using journaling, collage, drawing or creative reflection.
This helps the dream move from a fleeting memory into moving mythology.
Each gathering is a 90-minute live, group experience on Zoom.

Something subtle happens when we bring our night-worlds into a shared space. Images stretch their limbs. Symbols flirt with new meanings. A fragment someone else notices turns on new sensation in the psyche.
Dreams are not solitary creatures.
When we explore them together, the imagination becomes communal. The space itself begins to listen. Threads appear between stories, feelings and symbols that no one person could have found alone.
The circle becomes a kind of living archive, where images multiply, insight arrives sideways, and the dream gets to breathe a little wider than it could in isolation.
Dream circles can support us to:
• remember dreams more easily
• feel closer to our inner world
• unlock creative insight and imagination
• soften into our animal body
• experience the quiet magic of being witnessed in community
Because sometimes the dream simply needs a room full of curious humans to reveal what it’s been holding.

FAQ
Do I need to remember a full dream?
Not at all. A fragment is enough. A feeling you woke with. Even just a mood that lingered through the morning. Write it down in a dream journal and bring it along to the collective.
Will I have to share in front of the group?
This is a flowing dream space with movement, individual and collective reflection and dream art. This is an invitational space. There will be moments of collective reflection, and some participants may choose to speak a dream fragment aloud, but witnessing is participation too. You are always welcome to keep your dream private and work quietly in your own journal.
Is this therapy?
No. The somatic dream circle is a creative and somatic practice space, not a clinical setting. We're not diagnosing or treating anything. We're listening, making, and witnessing together. If you're working through something significant, this sits alongside that work, not instead of it.
What do I need to bring?
A notebook or journal that you can write and glue into, a pen, and something for collage, if you have it, scissors, glue, old magazines, scraps of paper, anything with images. Somewhere you can move a little and feel uninterrupted.
I'm in a different timezone will there be a recording?
Part of what makes the collective so potent is the live element. Please try to make it to the live online time. There will be a recording sent out within 24 hours.
I've spent decades helping people find their way back into their bodies through movement, creativity, and the kind of slow, embodied attention that the modern world doesn't make much room for.
Dreams became central to that work because they kept showing up as the place where the body's real intelligence lives.
I know this personally. Last year, a dream told me something was wrong before any scan did. I didn't ignore it. That dream, and the diagnosis that followed, changed how I understand the relationship between the body, the dream world, and the life we're actually living.
I believe in dreams as the channel between what we know and what we're not yet willing to know, a nightly conversation between the conscious mind and everything it hasn't caught up with yet.
I'm a queer somatic practitioner based in Melbourne/Naarm, and I'm currently completing my Masters of Counselling. I'm especially drawn to dreams as small acts of imagination and rebellion, as messages from the psyche that deserve somewhere to land.
The monthly somatic dream circles are that place.
