Exploring the Unconscious: A Dreamwork Circle with Sarah Manuwal

Exploring the Unconscious: A Dreamwork Circle with Sarah Manuwal

Lecture Room Workshop | Philosophical Research Society

Dreams have fascinated philosophers, mystics, and psychologists for centuries. In this workshop, we will explore how dreams offer a direct window into the psyche, revealing symbolic language, emotional truths, and unconscious processes often hidden from waking awareness.

Through a guided lecture and discussion, participants will learn foundational approaches to interpreting dream symbols and imagery, develop a relationship with their dreams, and explore how dream content may reflect their own inner dynamics. Drawing on the history of dream analysis, from the Ancient Greek temples of Asclepius and early esoteric traditions such as John Dee to contemporary practices including Dream Tending, this workshop places modern dreamwork within a rich historical lineage.

The workshop will begin with a structured lecture and conclude with an interactive discussion focused on practical ways to continue dreamwork individually or within a group setting. This educational experience offers an opportunity to deepen self understanding, expand psychological literacy, and connect with others through the shared language of dreams.

Whether you are a seasoned dreamer or entirely new to the practice, join us as we walk in the land of dreaming!
