Shamanic Dream Consciousness, Tarot, and Divination with author Dr. Janet Piedilato Sourcing truth in the inner depths. Everyday, in our ordinary waking life, we meet, engage, and often ignore the many images that rise along our path.  We have what is called the Reticular Activating System (RAS), which is responsible for our sleep-wake cycle as well as our alertness.  The RAS helps us focus on what is essential in our moment-to-moment movements, aiding us to successfully navigate through the imagery of the physical.  Yet, the world of images plays a role not only in the mundane, transient, day-to-day journeys, but more significantly, as a portal connecting us to the Oracle of the Depths, the voice within in service of helping us better understand ourselves and our true role as spiritual beings on a physical planet.  The ancient Egyptians well understood this and left us a legacy of powerful images to guide us through the portal of inner knowledge, the deep pool from which all images arise, the womb of consciousness.  Too often we stop short with our perceptions, never delving deeply enough to truly understand their salient messages.  This workshop shall utilize active imagination to help us move beyond perceptual reality.  This process, softening our view of the external world to journey shamanically to the inner dreamscape, the Oracle of the Depths, may be used as an adjunct to dream interpretation, tarot, and other divination techniques.  We shall explore the images on The Mystical Dream Tarot as well as discovering some powerful Egyptian images to better understand ourselves and our world.  No previous experience is necessary, only the deep desire to learn more about oneself and the less understood side of consciousness. Dr. Janet Piedilato is an international author, lecturer/transpersonal psychologist, and complementary health care consultant.  Holding two doctorates, her visionary, dream, and shamanic experiences are well balanced by her formal studies and special interest in the iconography of transcendence, especially the imagery of the Ancient Egyptian culture.  Her work with the images that rise from visionary and dream states is the subject of her internationally successful book and card deck, The Mystical Dream Tarot, released in 2019.  She is presently working on Entering the Dream Temple, which forms the core of her teachings and the basis for her Dream of Egypt pilgrimages.  Her next tour is March 1-14, 2021.  Dr. Piedilato presents workshops internationally, and maintains a private practice at Temenos, a sanctuary she founded with her beloved husband, Iggy.
