Dreams of Yellow/Dreams of Seeds. October 26th Dreamzines art journaling workshop

 

Dreams of Yellow, Dreams as Seeds, Dreams as Beloved Departed  

 

This month the Aspen in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains above  Santa Fe are a brilliant yellow, brighter than I’ve seen in the six years since I moved back to my hometown, brighter even than I remember growing up here, as a child, teen, and young adult. They are just glowing!  Perhaps a few days or week is left before the leaves begin to drop, as winter approaches (but not yet here!) …. Not quite yet…

 

In this dreaming time as Samhein, Dia de Muertos, Halloween approach (I know, they are not the same, but I believe related, to this cross-quarter time on our Planet Earth home, halfway between equinoxes and solstices. Here in the North, a time of thinning veils between worlds. Perhaps your dreaming psyche is hosting visits from beloved departeds. Family, or animal companions, or ancestors long gone. This is not always an easy group of images to relate to. Yet there is a richness there—treasures in that Underworld, realm of Persephone the Queen…

 Seeds are ripening here on the hillsides, in the arroyos’ edges, purple aster and yellow chamisa of last month, so attractive to bees and other pollinators, now muted and forming seeds, browning, food for the birds, and genetic storage for next spring’s green sprouts. Amazing.

 In this month’s Make Your Own DreamZines art journaling class, we will explore this seed process, a concentration of the dreams’ complexity into potentiality, like the imaginal cells of a butterfly chrysalis remembering our core being, the essence of our selves/ancestors.

 And we will also have fun! Snacks and hot tea! And art supplies, collage and colorful markers and ribbons and thread, weave and glue, paint and enjoy.

 Hope to see you October 26^th in Santa Fe in person, or if far away, contact me for online 1:1 dreamwork, and save the date for November Dreamzines, Sunday November 23^rd; we will start at noon-3pm in consideration of early dark and the return to standard time. mexrebe@yahoo.com

Hello Dreamers!

This I believe:

Dreaming, and Art, are forms of resistance. Psyche is alive and working on us even as we sleep; tending to the dream images with art-making gives us resilience for the future.
