Conscious Dreaming: Embodied Wisdom through Liminal Dream Play

We are more than our ordinary, waking-life self.

Liminal dreaming has been long practiced by many as a way of exploring extraordinary states of mind, expanding creativity, managing anxiety, and developing intuition and inner-wisdom. Join Dr. Kimberly Mascaro at Hollyhock, for a generative and restorative experience while exploring the potential and possibility that exists at the intersections of our consciousness in dream and sleep states.

Everyone naturally experiences liminal dreams, but we often don’t realize we’re in a liminal state or how we can use these naturally altered states of consciousness, like hypnagogic (when we are falling asleep) and hypnopompic (when we are waking up) to benefit many different aspects of our life.

Liminal Dream Play is for anyone who would like to learn how to begin playing with liminal dream spaces, learning new ways of working creatively and enhancing their creative practice, and anyone wanting to connect deeper to their internal wisdom and intuition.

“Kim is a gifted teacher… She allows participants to explore their dreams in a safe space while seeking meaning and insight that usually leads to deep awareness on a higher level. As someone who has logged my dreams for decades, I was happy to learn more about the healing power of dreams from Kim—she is truly special.” – Deni, past participant
