The Path is Clear
I’ve finally resettled. It’s been difficult to think about dreams and consciousness as my attention has been on the material needs. You know, Maslow’s sweet hierarchy dictates shelter and food first, dreamy blog updates second.
But there’s a lot going on in the consciousness studies community, and I am well poised now to share […]
Guide to Nature Observation
Here’s a new article about Reconnecting with Nature. This is a quick beginner’s guide to nature observation that I try to practice several times a week close to home. This practice is the dayworld side of my dreamwork.
The guide is a synthesis of different practices developed by psychologist Eugene Gendlin, naturalist Jon […]
Reconnecting with Nature
Reconnecting with nature is not as hard as people make it out to be. It doesn’t take pristine wilderness, a week hunting feral pigs with spears, or even an encyclopedic knowledge of all the birds in your area.

What effect does the moon have on our dreams? A team of researchers at the College of Metaphysics are seeking to find the answer in the next two months as the positioning of the earth, moon, and the sun move through a sequence rarely […]

Feral Kevin wrote a great post about what the solstice means for him. This really resonates with me:

This does put U-Haul in a rather awkward position, but […]
Eco-Dreaming and Quantum Leap
The International Dreams Conference has passed us by. It was a hot week in Sonoma, but the rooms were cool. Tempers were cool too, at least that’s what I gathered. Gentle dreamers from all walks of science: psychologists and psychiatrists, anthropologists, poets, shamans, and students all.
I somewhat remember wine, at some point, and […]
