A conference abstract describing Dream Circling, a facilitated dream-sharing practice that adds mindfulness and Authentic Relating exercises to group dreamwork.

Published among the abstracts of the 2018 conference of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. The workshop combined Vipassana-style noticing and interpersonal mindfulness, Authentic Relating exercises (“What does ‘we’ mean? Am I feeling connected?”) and projective dreamwork, putting attention to connection before the content of the dream.
