How A Profound Dream Changed The Course Of This Woman’s Life

In its 20 years of operation, DreamWeather has hosted dozens of retreats and gatherings in community centers, churches, private homes and homeless shelters around the country. Most recently, Scott co-hosted a workshop at the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In each circle, or gathering of women, participants meditate, reflect on their dreams and life stories, and connect with other women in a safe and nurturing environment.

“There is nourishment that comes from sitting with other women, and women often don’t even know they’re missing it,” Scott said.

When women come together to share their wisdom in a sacred way, she continued, “something wakes up in our hearts.”

That can happen through meditation, walking in nature, or, as it did for Scott, through dream work. In its simplest sense, Scott said, dream work is about “paying attention to your dreams.” Doing so can help us to better understand our lives and make decisions that we may be facing.
