Module 1: The Sacred Encounter in Our Dreams (December 12)
Natural Dreamwork is not about dream interpretation. Rather, it teaches you how to bring your dreams to life — allowing them to affect you more intensely.
It’s in that place of deepest feeling that you discover powerful moments of healing… and a new vision for your waking life.
In this opening session with Rodger, he’ll introduce you to Natural Dreamwork — an approach designed to help you engage in the “sacred encounter”… which enables your deepest feelings to emerge.
In this module, you’ll discover:
Where to look in your dreams for the moments of greatest feeling
That the medicine of the dream is carried in the most powerful emotions it evokes
How the dream is a nightly experience of primary imagination — providing you with confidence to access your imaginative capacity
Access to the creative ability to reimagine your waking life
How to live more deeply in the feeling state by deeply experiencing the images in your dreams
Ways to develop profound connections with the teachers and healers in your dreams, so the relationships with your loved ones in your waking life can be stronger
Module 2: Feeling as the Pathway to the Sacred Encounter (December 19)
Feelings in dreams are so important because they lead you to sacred encounters… while reactions take you out of the dream, and out of relationship.
In this session, you’ll discover the difference between a feeling and a reaction — using vivid examples from dreams.
With the sacred encounter as your destination, this session begins the exploration into the “facts” of the dream and your “natural” experience of the dream — in the field of “feeling-space-time.”
In this module, you’ll discover:
How the dream ego often misses sacred encounters — and the possibility of deeper feeling or engagement — to preserve its old stories
How to bring dreams to life and understand the deeper feelings under your habitual reactions
How dreams vividly reveal both reaction and feeling to help you learn how the waking life ego can become less reactive and more receptive to feeling
What the “facts” of a dream are — in the field of “feeling-space-time” — and how to use this new knowledge to distinguish primary imagination from mere fantasy… both in dreams and in waking life
How dreams present you with a useful image, and critique, of waking life
Module 3: The Ego Is Always at the Wheel (January 9)
Dreams in which you’re driving a car help you understand how “the ego is always at the wheel.”
Watching the dream ego drive past miracles and wonders reveals how the ego functions as a story-making mechanism, operating out of an unfelt terror — and responding with stereotypical reactions instead of spontaneous feeling.
In this session, you’ll see how sacred encounters in dreams enable the dream ego to soften and loosen its grip on the wheel — allowing the internal feelings to arise, and creating deeper relationship and connectivity with the sacred presences in your dreams.
In this module, you’ll discover:
How the dream field is responsive to the thoughts and reactions of the dream ego — and how every image and presence in the dream is aware of what’s happening within a dream
How the ego — so often at the wheel in waking life and in dreams — can cause numbness, indifference, and reactivity in your waking life
That the dream, over time, can loosen and soften the grip of the ego on your experience and allow you to be more open to feeling and relationship
A harmonic of feeling underneath your control and reaction… much richer than any single note
How dreams uncover the ego as a narrative mechanism, constantly making up stories and interpretations to preserve its old story about itself — and how you can break out of mechanical reaction
Module 4: Working With Images — Sacred Encounters With Things (January 16)
As you discovered in the previous session, something as ordinary as driving a car in a dream has a much deeper significance.
In the same way, things you encounter in your dreams — especially remarkable things — can evoke a deeper response to them.
In the sacred encounter, images carry strong feelings. Certain images in our dreams can actually restore the impaired imagination… which is at the root of anxiety, numbness, and despair.
In this session, Rodger will introduce poets and artists who can open up effective ways to respond to images in your dreams… with more imagination…
… and he’ll guide you through a practice of dream contemplation to take you from one dream into a deeper experience of the next.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- The deeper fact of dream phenomenology… that things and presences in our dreams are conscious and aware and respond to feelings and reactions
- A deeper appreciation of the responsiveness of people and things in the living dream of waking life
- How to live with more imagination — from the revelations in your dreams, and from the experience of the primary imagination of great poets and artists
- Methods for bringing the images in your dreams to life… enabling you to find more feeling in everyday experience
- That the contemplation of images from dreams can nourish and restore the impaired imagination and the resulting anxiety, worry, depression, and numbness
Module 5: The Fateful Triangle — The Dream Ego Caught Between Imagoes of Conditioning & Imagoes of the Soul (January 23)
In this session, you’ll explore living personified images… known as imagoes.
You’ll first discover the imagoes of conditioning — personifications of reactivity that represent what’s hindered you in the past, and all the conditioning that made you who you are.
In order to access the deeper, imaginative version of yourself the dream wants to offer, you have to first see these how these imagoes are personifications of pride, rage, worry and anxiety, and accusation and shaming — all deeply rooted in our past conditioning…
In this module, you’ll discover:
- How your dreams teach you how to transform early-life programming — though the recognitions can be painful at first
- Imagoes of soul — often appearing as children whose presence can inspire you to become more youthful in your attitudes, full of wonder and joy
- How imagoes of conditioning can show you the difficult truth of your own reactivity and conditioning, and how you can begin to separate from habits and attitudes that block feeling and imagination
- Why your reactions to children in your dreams reveal the presence of your past conditioning
- The possibilities that dreams present to move from seeing the soul to being the soul — leaving old conditioning behind and becoming more vulnerable and more capable of feeling
Module 6: A Love That Heals — Dream Soul in Sacred Encounter With the Archetypes (January 30)
In this session, you’ll explore how, as your dreams turn away from conditioning and merge into soul, you become the child.
You can then observe the sacred encounter with a new set of imagoes — the archetypes.
In the reality of the dream, you’ll have sacred encounters with these stunning, brilliant, playful, highly imaginative, and often radiant archetypes…
In this module, you’ll discover:
- How you can become the child to the parent, the student to the teacher, or the wounded person to the healer — in your dreams
- How the archetypes produce deep feelings of joy, pain, awe, and terror… AND a growing sense of being loved
- How the boy in your dreams personifies joy, initiative, confidence, and a knowledge of being loved
- How the girl in your dreams personifies the need for love, and understands the importance of love and relationship
- Dreams in which identification with the boy or girl can help you feel the love of that archetype
Module 7: Beyond the Sacred Encounter — The Sacred Relationship (February 6)
In this session, you’ll return to the sacred encounter — recognizing, at this point in the course — the depth and detail of its purpose.
You’ll explore more powerful, transformative moments of encounter and see how these encounters are reflected in images from art and in poetry.
Rodger will show you how, instead of looking to dreams for messages to interpret, you can look to the feelings that transform. The primary imagination of the dream produces ever-evolving sacred experience.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- What a dream arc is — and what develops as one dream connects to another
- How the weakening of conditioning, combined with the emergence of dream soul, open you to an arc of sacred encounters which make up a sacred relationship
- The power of the primary imagination in your dreams offers you a sense of being loved — and how it carries over into waking life
- How to reframe your life with greater imagination from the point of view of the dream — a liberation from past conditioning which opens you to the reality of love
- A powerful glimpse of what lies beyond the sacred encounter — the arc of the sacred relationship

How to Write Down Your Dream the Natural Dreamwork Way
Video Dialogue With PDF Companion From Rodger Kamenetz and Kezia Vida
Using the same guidelines for recording dreams that Rodger uses with his Natural Dreamwork clients, you’ll discover how to most effectively write down your dreams — so you can best use them as stepping stones to a richly felt, heart-centered life.
As you listen in to Rodger’s dialogue with Kezia Vida, (his daughter and Dreamwork Summit 2019 co-host), you’ll learn exactly which parts of your dreams to pay attention to — and which essential elements of dreams are easiest to overlook.
Kezia Vida has been working with and studying dreams under the Natural Dreamwork tradition for close to a decade. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Yale University, she dove into intense dream study, working with a wide variety of teachers to develop a unique perspective on dreams. Her work with dreams led her to deeper studies of shamanic and Indigenous perspectives on reality, with teachers like Nina Palmieri and Jose and Lena Stevens of the Power Path. She’s focused on how nurturing our dream lives can lead us to our life’s purpose and connect us with each other and the larger community of living things.
