Social dreaming is an innovative way of working with dreams that move us beyond the individual dreamer. In this two-day format, members are invited to share their dreams and join a matrix ("a place out of which something grows"), offering their associations and  collaborating without interpretation. Alternating dreams and dialogue, this workshop will end with a plenary to discuss realizations and implications for practice.
