Temple of Dreams: A Drop-in Dream Circle with Melissa Cetlin

Each night while we sleep, our unconscious speaks in images, stories, and symbols. What happens when we bring these dreams into community and let them be witnessed?

In this bi-monthly Jungian-inspired circle, we’ll explore the wisdom of our dreams together. Participants are invited to bring one dream—recent or from the past—that they’d like the group to reflect on. You don’t need to prepare anything formal—just come ready to share the dream aloud and stay open to what arises when others listen and respond.

Each gathering is unique. The makeup of the circle changes week to week, creating a dynamic and fresh space for new perspectives and shared exploration.

This is not about analyzing or decoding dreams. Instead, we’ll use curiosity, metaphor, and collective reflection to deepen connection with the images and feelings that emerge. Whether you’re a longtime dreamer or just beginning to pay attention, you’re welcome here.

Tickets are in-person only, Sliding scale $15 - $30 with no one turned away for lack of funds.
