The SLEEPING GODDESS - A Dream Incubation workshop
THE SLEEPING GODDESS : A Dream incubation Workshop with Sarah Janes SATURDAY MARCH 7th 6pm - 8pm // Hastings, East Sussex
Inspired by The Sleeping Goddess of Malta - Join me for this two hour workshop exploring dream incubation and guided hypnagogia.
Hypnagogia is the state we fall into as we begin to drift into sleep. It can be a highly creative, colourful and imaginative journey, characterised by whimsical thoughts, vivid visions and even audio hallucinations (name being called/doorbell/waves of music).
If you've ever lurched in bed - as though you were falling off a kerb - that's called a myoclonic jerk and that's a good indicator of being in the hypnagogic state. With conscious intent you can learn to hold on to the thread of your self-awareness, like Alice falling down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. You can arrive in the corridor of a dream unscathed and fully aware of your means of transportation.
Using sleep hypnosis and guided meditation for hypnagogic journeying, this will be a deeply relaxing and refreshing workshop for anyone interested in dream practice and working consciously with the hypnagogic state.
The Sleeping Goddess has become a symbol of the ancient practice of dream incubation to those interested in the practice all over the world.
In its most ancient form, dream incubation involved sleeping in caves or other sacred sites. In the divine dream that ensued, we could commune with the sleeping Mother beneath our bodies. The wisdom of the Earth Goddess could be experienced in the dream state.
The early 'Mother' cult of ancient Malta was similar to many all over the world, where the Earth was seen as a divine feminine form - expressed by various 'Venus' figurines.
These Venus figurines represent a sort of avatar of the full Earth Mother form - one that would be impossible to fully comprehend in normal waking consciousness. In the dream state however these forms could come to life. They could heal and teach us, we could receive the wisdom and energy of the planet.
