Cat Nap for Lucid Dreaming with Andrea Williams

Join us at Maitri Yoga for a unique event that will take your dreaming to the next level! In pre-industrial times, we woke between “first” and “second” sleep to share dreams with our neighbors. In this unique workshop, we return to that wisdom to process climate emotions and reconnect with the Earth through lucid dreaming, sound healing, and community art-making.

Participants will be gently guided into a state of deep rest with a live gong and chime sound bath, followed by a lucid “soundwalk” using immersive audio based on local field recordings. From this dream state, we awaken to journal, create intuitive collages, and share in a safe space. Using a Design Thinking approach, we’ll reflect on themes of grief, joy, hope, and connection—together mapping out community needs and new possibilities.

🧘‍♀️ No prior experience with sound healing, lucid dreaming, or art required.

🎨 All collage and journal materials provided.

🌐 Participant collages and insights will be photographed and shared at www.resonant-beings.com You get to take home your collage and journal writing.
