Creating the Village Dream: A transformative event to empower dreaming in community
Do we pursue the dream, or does the dream pursue us?
Tribal dreaming is a powerful way of dreaming together and then following the dream’s path after waking. Out of this dream circle, a new dream is born—the village dream. Through constellation, we invite the dreaming to join us, alive and present within our gathering. In our waking conversations with the dream, we sit front-row to the unfolding visions of Mother Earth.
As we go through the day, traces of the dreaming reveal themselves in our daily experiences, guiding us toward the next night of dreaming and discovery. Together, we form a spontaneous community, creating an architecture of dreaming and visionary work that builds upon each night’s dreams. Here lies true magic—an art form deeply needed in these times.
Sarah Maclean Bicknell and Seth Pardo are leading an online dream adventure. For three consecutive nights we will dream together and meet online each morning to flush out the magic of our dreams. These dreams will inform our waking day and lead into the evening dream question. We will gather on Friday afternoon and then hold morning and evening sessions through Monday.
Taking community dreaming to the next level We emerge from 12 nights of Dreaming in January with many questions. This co-created experience together is about starting to build the power of village dreaming as a map and powerful navigator of all that is coming.
Step into space where possibility meets purpose and together we will craft the dreams that have been waiting to arrive. In this workshop we will unlock the power of shared vision and transform dreams into a vibrant collective reality
We are also excited and honored to have Balam Lemus, an indigenous dreamer from the Maya tradition, who will be joining us from Guatemala. He will be sharing his experiences around tribal dreaming.
No community dreaming experience required.

Meet your hosts:
Sarah Maclean Bicknell is a healer, teacher, and mentor. She has studied healing and ceremonial work in North American indigenous traditions for 30 years. She has incorporated her Celtic roots into her present North American practice and is sought out for her intuitive readings, workshops, ceremony, and her soul doctoring practice. More recently, Sarah has held training and facilitated Family and Nature Constellations and has run a leadership/training programme called “The Arbor”. She stands in deep gratitude to her elders and teachers that have gone before and stands firmly in her own vision, a vision that is related and crafted for these times of the 21st century. Her work is about connection, community, ceremony and respect. Also raised in the Western world, she has lived the loss of disconnection and is profoundly thankful to her indigenous elders who taught her how to re-arrive more fully into her life.
Seth Pardo is currently a licensed Minister of Sacred Practices and a Life Coach in the San Francisco Bay Area, unceded territory of the Ramaytush Ohlone people. For over the past 30 years, Seth has nourished a curious exploration of the dreamtime and the betwixt and between of human beingness, ritual, and ceremony. By traditional modes of education, Seth received his doctorate in developmental psychology and has over a decade of group process leadership experience through an existential-humanistic psychology lens. His sacred practices are informed by connection with a long unbroken ancestral lineage with ceremony, over 10 years of Bhakti yoga practices, decades of dedicated Dreamwork, men’s groups, intentional engagement with the “Knowing Field,” and his direct experience of this perceived reality translated through the prism of his innermost being. His healing arts skills include somatic therapeutic modalities including Hakomi, the Tamura Method, entheogenic medicine work, and family constellation. He gives gratitude and thanks to his ancestors and to his many spiritual teachers seen and unseen, including Sarah Maclean Bicknell, Rusty Wells, Peter Walters, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, Hillel, and our first Mother Earth.
