FOUR GATEWAYS TO
LIVING YOUR DREAMS
Are you holding back on a cherished project or dream?
Do you long to sing, create a software platform, or teach children? Do you want to make a difference in the world? Is there something keeping you from bringing your dream into “reality”? Maybe you simply need support to take that next step on your path. Or you feel you’ve hit a wall. Or you want to gain clarity on what you really would like to do, or be, in this phase of your life.
Answer the Call of your Dreaming Body
In a wisdom lineage whose origin spans from the Valley of Mexico into Central California, our heart’s desires are calls from our dreaming body—our soul, our twin made completely of energy.
This energy twin can travel instantly through time and space. It can scan the room ahead of us, hear conversations of future or parallel timelines, or revisit scenes of the past to bring relevant information to the present.
Becoming conscious of this ability, and cultivating it in an intentional way is called the art of dreaming, or being-in-dreaming. It's the art of shifting our orientation to "reality" so that we can perceive and experience possibilities beyond our usual interpretations.
One this journey, we encounter portals that Yaqui seer don Juan Matus called the gates of dreaming, thresholds of awareness we reach and cross through consistent practice of attention.
...And Put Your Dream into Action!
With one-on-one guidance and group support, you've found a place to dig deep and nurture your dreams -- and your whole being.

NYEI MUREZ, MA
Your Facilitator. Nyei (ny-EE) means water spirit, in the flow, open to follow the flow of energy in the universe to initiate and sustain new dreams. This is something I am learning, and I am honored to share with you! I bring my experience as a student of Carlos Castaneda and his colleagues, where I received the seeds of my work as a story editor, flutist, and sound dreamer. I love to help others question old stories and tell new ones that are both sober and expansive--and to facilitate soundscapes that go beyond language and perceived limitation to help us reach our heart's dreams.
Join me and Special Guest Leaders on a journey of stepping into the dreams that await you.
"There is no past or future in the universe. There is only the moment...In the universe there is only energy, and energy only has a here and now, an endless and ever-present here and now."
From The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda
"My beloved Zen teacher Maurine Stuart Roshi taught, 'Follow a path of doing finite things in an infinite way, then ordinary becomes extraordinary...Preparing the food, washing the dishes; everything can be a sacred act.' Every moment is so precious. None of us know what a day or night will bring. Appreciate the gifts you have!"
