About this event

  • 3 hours

*DATE SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION*

Artist Dr Julia Lockheart and sleep scientist Professor Mark Blagrove, who collaborate as DreamsID, explore a dream with you. While an audience member discusses a recent or important dream with Mark, Julia creates an artwork that captures the dream. Afterwards the dreamer is given the finished work and can use the artwork to revisit, consider and share the dream with others. Research suggests that this process encourages insight, understanding and empathy.

Following a live demonstration of this process, Mark and Julia will talk about their work and the research behind it, and answer questions.

You can order Mark and Julia's book The Science and Art of Dreaming via this link.

A psychotherapy CPD event from the Dream Research Institute. Certificates for 3 hours CPD provided after the event.

The DRI (Dream Research Institute) is a centre for dream studies at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education(CCPE), a Member Organisation of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), providing accredited trainings for counsellors and psychotherapists and access to psychotherapy for people of all backgrounds and income levels. As a charitable trust, CCPE promotes research into dreams using the transpersonal perspective, an approach that views dreams as key to physical, psychological, and spiritual wholeness.

Since CCPE’s establishment in 1984, it has grown to be the largest training centre for transpersonal psychotherapy in the UK and supplies clinical support through some 200 therapists. The DRI was launched in 2012 to provide research and education to increase understanding of dreams. We are affiliated with the International Association for the Study of Dreams and our members regularly present at their conferences.

The DRI supports  transpersonal research into the uses and application of dreams and lucid dreams and educates students, practitioners and the public about dreams and dreamwork, and encourages conversation about dream experiences.

Proceeds from the event go to support the charitable work of the DRI. The CCPE/DRI is a registered charitable trust, No. 1056420.
