Introduction to Dream Divination with Jezmina Von Thiele

Explore the archetypes of your dreams through the tarot and sink into a renewed self-care practice for sleep with Jezmina Von Thiele, co-author of Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling. Dive into dream work and dream interpretation, using the archetypes of the tarot, oracle cards, and other divination methods. In this workshop, we will discuss ways to approach sleep and dreaming as a magical, healing, and cathartic space to integrate the many parts of the self, and to connect to ancestors, spirit guides, deities, angels, and more. Jezmina is of mixed Sinti Romani heritage, and learned these practices from their grandmother as part of their family's survival trade.
Our methods will include:
-ritual
-soothing bedtime self care practices
-meditation
-dream tea recipes
Together, we will overview dream interpretation and dream journaling, and how to use tarot, oracle cards, and more as tools in this context. At the end of our time together, we will use the tarot to interpret our own dreams through journaling.
Make sure to bring the following items to class:
-a tarot deck and/or oracle deck
-a journal
-something to write with
Students will be emailed a PDF of notes after the class, so note taking during class is encouraged if you find it helpful, but it’s not necessary.
