A Social Dreaming Matrix is a creative space for dreams to speak, breed and unfold, and deeper meanings to emerge, from the social unconscious and collective level. You are invited to join us in this free-flowing moment where we listen to our night-time dreams and associations together, to connect & explore social issues & discover new perspectives. This is about the dream, not the dreamer, and no dream is more important than any other.

Are you interested in exploring this on a deeper – unconscious and collective level? And curious to experience a different kind of thinking & talking space?

No previous experience and knowledge of SD is required.

*SDM is NOT therapy. It is a safe and non-confrontational space for us to share dreams and other associated thoughts. Participants can share whatever they feel comfortable with.
