Have you ever wondered if your dreams hold hidden insights into your life’s path? In this captivating episode, I sit down with Susanne van Doorn MSc, a Dutch dream therapist, author, and the mind behind Mindfunda, to explore the Holy Nights Journey—a 12-day dream exploration steeped in mythology and Jungian archetypes.
Susanne shares the origins of this sacred tradition, inspired by ancient midwinter practices, and explains how the veil between worlds is said to thin during these nights, allowing for deeper dream insights. From the nurturing archetype of Mother Mary to the guiding Star of Bethlehem, we unpack the symbolic language of dreams and their power to illuminate our inner worlds.
With dream incubation exercises, participants are invited to journey inward, connecting with themes like light and shadow, death and rebirth, and synchronicity. Susanne also discusses how this communal dream practice fosters profound connections and personal transformation in today’s fast-paced world.
Whether you're new to dreamwork or a seasoned explorer of the unconscious, this episode will leave you inspired to reflect, dream, and grow. Plus, Susanne shares practical tips for beginners and one of her own most profound dreams!
