THE ART OF DREAMING
Dreamwork, Lucid Awareness, Blue Lotus & Dream Planting
With Iwan and Nancy
An immersive five-hour exploration of the art of dreaming, as we plant our intentions in the Dreamtime for the purpose of healing and creating our reality with lucidity.
What if you could develop a deeper relationship with your dreams, learn to recognise when you are dreaming, and consciously plant an intention to explore as you sleep, in the fertile dark of winter, as the year turns towards the Solstice and a new beginning?
Join us for an intimate gathering that begins with Iwan's Toltec dreaming teachings and practical exercises from the 1500 year old Tol lineage of Nahualism from ancient Mexico, before we move into a ceremonial journey with Nancy, drinking a sacred brew of Blue Lotus and cacao together.
Through lucid dreaming, dream recall and dream planting, we will cultivate a greater awareness of our journeys into the dreamtime. Then we move from learning into experience, creating space for intention, reflection and inner exploration, as we plant four different dreams as a real seed to take home and tend.
Held in a small group of just ten people, this is a chance to step out of the everyday, deepen your relationship with the dreaming body and begin your own personal dream practice.
THE WORKSHOP INCLUDES
🌀 Toltec dreaming teachings and practical exercises, led by Iwan
🌙 Dream recall, lucid awareness and working with intention
🍂 A release of 2026, to make room for the new dream
🌸 A sacred brew of Blue Lotus and cacao, and a guided journey to meet the dream that wants to be born
🌱 Dream planting: seeds of intention planted in the Dreamtime, to tend through the year
📓 Time for journalling, reflection and integration
THE PLANT ALLIES
🌸 Blue Lotus: the sacred blue water lily of ancient Egypt, used in ritual for thousands of years. The flower of dreaming and vision, she is mildly euphoric, deeply relaxing and profoundly dream-enhancing, and she opens the door between your waking mind and your deeper knowing.
🍫 Sacred Cacao: the ancient grandmother of ceremony. She grounds you, warms the body, opens the heart and holds everything that follows.
These are not psychedelics. They are sacred plants with long ceremonial traditions, and the effects are gentle, grounding and supportive of inner work.
YOU WILL LEAVE WITH
🌱 A living seed, planted with your dreams
🌙 Practices to explore in your own dreaming life
🌸 A clear release of 2026, so you step lighter into the new year
No previous experience is necessary. Come curious, bring a notebook, and leave with a dream in your hands.
