‘In Walking Together We Make The Path’ is a social dreaming inspired workshop hosted by artist Mina Heydari-Waite. Social dreaming is a reflective process in which people share their dreams and associated thoughts, weaving together a collaborative collage of images, ideas, cultural references and feelings. At the heart of this practice is the idea that our dreams may speak of the social contexts we are embedded in – our groups, our communities, our cultures – as much as they may speak of our inner lives.

You do not have to be a vivid dreamer to attend this workshop; while the session will involve sharing literal dreams, it will also be a dream-like space in which associations including memories, thoughts and feelings can also act as ‘dreams’. You will need to be able to attend the workshop in a safe, quiet space where you will not be disturbed.

In the first hour of the workshop we will share dreams and associations. We will then spend 15 minutes reflecting on the session. After this there will be an additional 15 minutes in which Mina will be available for after care to talk through any difficult feelings that may have been brought up by the workshop.
