In this immersive lucid dreaming training offered for Psychotherapists, Counsellors, Health Care Professionals, long-term Meditators and Meditation Teachers we’ll explore how to transform the third of our lives that we spend in bed by learning how to dream lucidly and sleep consciously.

The retreat will be led by Charlie Morley, who has been teaching lucid dreaming for the past 17 years and will include everything you need to learn how to lucid dream yourself while forming the foundation course for possible future training in how to offer lucid dreaming to clients.

We’ll combine a 12-hour 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.

This retreat is experiential and held within awareness-based practice, including periods of silence, meditation, and walking practice. Contemplative Group Practice will be established as part of every day.  It is open to psychotherapists, psychologists, experienced meditators, spiritual teachers and those already working in groups.

This approach has its roots in Relational Mindfulness and Buddhist Practice. The underpinning experiential premises include that human beings are connected and non-separate at deepening levels of knowing.   That we are all inherently well at our core, our centre, our heartmind.  This intrinsic well-being manifests in qualities of Spaciousness, Clarity and Compassion and has been called Brilliant Sanity. That the embodiment of these qualities of knowing manifests as awareness of how things are in the present moment and a movement to acceptance and wholeness.
