Healing Our Sleep, Dreams, and Consciousness: An Integrative Approach

Course overview

Sleep and dreams are the very roots of the tree of waking life, profoundly impacting our mental health, physical well-being and spirituality. Sleep loss, a most prevalent health concern, is strongly linked to anxiety, depression, obesity, and other chronic illnesses. Although mental health professionals routinely encounter insomnia in their practices as well as personal lives, few are adequately prepared to effectively address it. Unfortunately, our fundamental beliefs about sleep and dreams are excessively medicalized and myopic. In the end, we don't get sleep simply because we don't get sleep. Join world-renowned sleep and dream expert Dr. Rubin Naiman for a deeply transformative learning experience that enhances both clinical skills and personal consciousness. This program addresses insomnia and sleep health from a comprehensive body, mind, and spirit perspective, integrating complementary and alternative medicine, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and Jungian/archetypal approaches. Through engaging presentations, in-depth discussions, personal exercises, and optional dream circles, participants can expect to gain a rich and practical understanding of sleep and dreams to better help their clientele as well as themselves.
