About the Course:

This consultation group invites therapists into an ongoing exploration of dreams as living expressions of the unconscious. Drawing from the full arc of psychoanalytic thought, participants will bring clinical material and engage in a collaborative process of listening, reverie, and meaning-making.

Together, we will explore how dreams emerge within the intersubjective field, how they speak to unconscious communication, and how they may be used clinically to deepen the relationship between the patient, the therapist, and the analytic relationship itself. This is a space for clinicians who wish to think deeply, work imaginatively, and remain in contact with the mystery and vitality of the unconscious.

This course is a 6 part series. Classes will meet on Fridays from 10:00 am – 11:20 am PT via Zoom starting on June 5, 2026 and continuing through July 17, 2026.
