The Tracking Project Dream Circle — Via Zoom 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm Mountain Time

Our students know that each day of a Tracking Project class begins with the Opening Words from the Iroquois confederacy (Ohén:ton Karihwatéhkwen), followed by our Secrets of Natural Movement workout and a dream circle. Since June 2020, we have been continuing the dream circle on-line. This two and a half hour class includes stories from John’s unique experiences relating to the Dream World and participants sharing their dreams and insights. Through his years of study, John has developed a technology of dreaming which he calls Dreamtracking ® This system of tracking dreams offers a framework upon which one can hang other experiences such as visions, day dreams, meditations, breath work, songs, signs, feelings and intuition to form a cohesive body of knowledge. Undertake an exercise in cultivating your dream world to develop your waking reality.
