Accessibility:

All rooms at the Salisbury Centre are accessible.  The Salisbury Centre’s kitchen door and toilet are now wheelchair accessible. The studio is located upstairs and is accessible via a chair-lift. The Garden can also be accessed by wheelchairs via a movable ramp via the Art Room Annex. Please let the organisers know in advance of any access requirements.

About the Event:

I ask participants to come with a dream, preferably a snippet or a small part of a longer dream. The dream can be recent or from the past. 

We will share the dreams and work with them creatively, either making a collage, using clay, drawing a dream mandala or making a picture with the symbols of the dream. There will be a break for food.  Afterwards I will teach techniques to work with the dream using examples from my own dreams and dreamwork. We will look at techniques such as dialoguing with dream figures and symbols, symbol immersion, active imagination and participants will try out these techniques on their own dream.

Facilitator Bio

Alison has been working with her own dreams and attending dream groups for 45 years . For 10 years she sculpted animals from her dreams and held exhibitions all over Scotland.

The way she works with dreams is informed by Carl Jung. Her philosophy is that only the dreamer knows the meaning of the dream and by using curiosity and questioning the wisdom of the dream can be unlocked.

She has been running dream groups for the past 5 years from her home and online. She also does individual dream work.

Alison has an MA in Psychology and a Certificate in Counselling. She also completed a training in Dreamwork at Wellspring with Hilary Scaife in 1990.

About Donations: 

Participation in our community-led events is on a voluntary ‘by donation’ basis. This means that nobody is expected to make a payment if they cannot afford to do so.

Any donations received will be shared between the Centre and the facilitator, helping to make the events’ programme sustainable as well as to provide some reciprocity towards community facilitators’ time and skills offered.

Where a “suggested donation” is listed, this is just an indication of what the event might cost if it was ticketed.

This is an invitation to practice ‘Dana’ (generosity) – please pay only what you can afford to attend.
