What is this?

Imaginal Practice is an approach to contemplative practice that explores the world of imagination, inner vision, and dreamscapes as an access point for deeper levels of awareness and inner transformation. By learning to cultivate an awareness of the inner dream life, the practitioner gains an ability to tune into a creative, non-conceptual energy field, beyond the ordinary limitations of the rational mind. From this place, insight, healing and a transformational awakening can occur, enabling one to access a new level of understanding and embodiment of a more wholesome way of being.
