Interactive Workshop: "Waking Up! An Interactive Journey into Dreams, Mind, Death, and the Fate of the Soul"
Description: What do dreams, death, and the fate of the soul have in common? More than you might think. Joseph Grimes leads an engaging, participatory exploration of dreams, consciousness, and one of humanity's oldest questions: why are we here? From Ancient Egypt and Greece to the Tibetan Book of the Dead and Timothy Leary's interpretation of it, this session weaves together some of history's most profound wisdom on the nature of mind and the journey of the soul. Come with curiosity, a willingness to question assumptions, and a sense of fun.
When: Wednesday, August 26, 2026 from 5pm to 9pm (Workshop at 6:30pm)
Where: LoDo Studios, 216 E. Gutierrez Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
(Please only park across the street on the Office Max side of the lot.)
Members are Free to attend The District House evenings, and are prioritized when we reach capacity.
Guests Welcome to purchase $25 tickets to The District House evenings.
Note: We will not be filming the workshop. Refreshments provided.
Facilitator: Joseph Grimes | Spiritual Adventurer & Author
Joseph Grimes has traveled the globe in search of spiritual traditions and is the author of four books, including Mirrors of the Soul, drawn from his Near-Death Experiences, and Nothing Better to Do, exploring dreams through the lenses of Zen and Plato. He has died twice and somehow returned, and has toured and lectured at the University of California on NDEs. He grew up alongside Alan Watts, Joseph Campbell, and a lineage of Chan Buddhist monks and Zen teachers, and brings rare, out-of-print texts from masters of consciousness into the room with him.
