What we’re about
Welcome! We are an established community of avid dreamers, meeting since 2016. Come share a dream with us!
Our Schedule & Welcome Sessions:
We currently offer monthly groups, such as our Dream Alchemy Playground. Many of our related workshops and book studies can be found on our other Meetup, AuthenticNC. We offer two retreats per year through AuthenticNC.
Consider joining our community as a member, for access to the in-person sessions: Memberships Here.
Make sure you also check out our monthly dreamwork retreats and professional certifications in Alchemical Dreamwork!
Please contact us if you are a newcomer who would like to join our in-person sessions. We're glad to answer questions or to set up a welcome conversation so you have a warm welcome!
How to Receive Updates:
We're a very active community... Join our mailing list on our website to receive updates and special invites not listed here on Meetup!

About the Alchemical Dreamers' Guild:
Are you interested in collaborating with other dreamworkers? The mission of the Alchemical Dreamers’ Guild (ADG) is to organize the Southeastern regional network of dreamworkers and provide opportunities for high quality dreamwork training and practice, including coordinating a guild of masterful dreamworkers who collaborate regionally on larger dreamwork projects. Come join us!
Our events and private sessions do not involve psychotherapy or any other form of advice. Instead, the intent of our events and courses is educational, spiritual, and motivational. Please be aware that dreamwork and coaching can be emotionally intense for some people–check with your doctor or therapist before participating.
Our groups, seminars, and trainings include a broad array of approaches, including lucid dreaming, dream interpretation, gestalt play acting, somatic dreamwork, shamanic visioning, authentic relating, archetypal dreamwork, dream art, sleep coaching and more. We are also open to collaborations, if you are an avid dreamer with facilitation skills!
Our community is organized as part of Navigate Change, LLC, based out of Raleigh-Durham, NC. We seek to abide by the Ethics Guidelines of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, of which we are a member. May our events be in service of the wellbeing of the community.
By participating in our Meetups and courses, you agree to:
a) Honor Self: Know your needs and limits, and take proactive steps to ensure your own emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. If you would like to stop something that is happening (for example, the dream work is moving in a direction you don't want), it is your responsibility to ensure this happens.
b) Honor Other: Extend empathy and care toward one another. Set clear boundaries. And help us create a community space that feels good. If something happens in a session that you don't like, we invite you to bring this up in a compassionate way so that all involved may learn and continue to build the community. These practices are rare, and we hope you will help us continue making them publicly available.
c) Maintain Anonymity: Dreams are highly personal! Tell others about your experiences in a way that ensures the anonymity of other group members.

Notes & Disclaimers: This event does not involve psychotherapy, medical treatment, or any other form of advice. Instead, the intent of this training in dream symbolism is educational and spiritual. Please be aware dreamwork can be emotionally intense for some people–check with your doctor or therapist before participating, and be 100% self-responsible for your own physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being throughout the session. Imagine 1,000 years ago when communities would share dreams together when a crisis was afoot–they would sit in a circle and share the dreams they had been having. It was both a means of staying connected, and a means of processing & gaining insights about what was happening. May this event be in service of the well-being of our community. This event is a professional offering organized through the Alchemical Dreamers’ Guild, a branch of Navigate Change, LLC.
