In this immersive lucid dreaming retreat Charlie Morley shows us how to transform the third of our lives that we spend asleep by learning how to dream lucidly and sleep consciously.
A lucid dream is a dream in which we are actively aware that we are dreaming as the dream is happening. Once we are lucid we gain access to the deepest depths of the unconscious mind which allows us to engage in psychological healing at a level often unattainable in the waking state.
Open to complete beginners (as well as seasoned lucid dreamers) the retreat will include everything you need to learn how to lucid dream and to wake up to your fullest potential. We’ll combine a full daily schedule with optional night-time practices to create the best possible conditions for having lucid dreams.
Charlie’s teaching style is highly practical: using music, movement and interactive exercises to help deepen the learning experience.
We will explore:
• How to lucid dream
• The benefits of lucid dreaming.
• Dream Planning (Charlie’s 3 step process)
• Tibetan Buddhist dream yoga
• Breathwork exercises and yoga nidra
The retreat includes teachings on the history, science and practice of lucid dreaming from both the Western and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, instructions on how to maintain awareness into sleep, recognition of the dreamlike nature of reality and of course plenty of practical teachings on learning how to lucid dream.
Highlights include:
• Optional night time practice sessions
• Lucidity psychodrama exercises
• Optional daily naps
• Periods of silence and reflection
• Daily dream sharing circles
This retreat takes a uniquely holistic approach to lucid dreaming best suited to those interested in psychological integration and spiritual growth. The end goal is to become- in the words of Charlie’s teacher Lama Yeshe Rinpoche “more awake, more aware, more kind.”
We suggest you arrive at least one day prior to the start of this course and stay until at least one day after the course ends for the optimal experience.
