Wholeness Through Dreams with Marc Barasch

Program Description

There are dreams, and then there are dreams. They can shock us, console us, arouse us, repulse us. They can change our lives. They can heal us. Embark on a spiritual adventure with Marc Ian Barasch, exploring how in dreams we can accept our own contradictions, become more accepting of others, and live with greater courage. “Dreams refuse to polarize. They push you right up against your limits and margins. The unthinkable thing becomes the subject matter,” says Barasch. Backed by fifteen years of research, Barasch presents a bold new perspective on how dreams can be our greatest hope for finding wholeness. Literal, lucid or spiritual, he delves into the multi-faceted aspects of dreamtime. “I think there is an evolutionary pressure coming from dreams. Dreams are always happening on the edge of the unknown, the area where we have yet to tread.”

Marc Ian Barasch is the author of Healing Dreams: Exploring the Dreams That Can Transform Your Life (Riverhead Books, 2000) and The Healing Path: A Soul Approach to Illness (Penguin Arkana, 1994).
