Connect with the amazing animals of your dreams!

And meet other inspiring people in the community ... going to the zoo together is a great way to make friends & build community!

We're hosting this field trip, hoping you will also check out our **fall 12-week course on Animals in Dreams! [Check it out here! ](https://www.meetup.com/alchemical-dreamers-guild/events/294975832/)**I hope you will join us for both the field trip and to dive into dreams together this fall!

It all begins at the zoo...

As you wander the zoo, you'll have ample opportunity to discover new sides to your dream animals, gaining insight into how these beautiful creatures may be guiding you through your dreams. From majestic hawks to powerful bears, and from mighty tigers to wise elephants, these animals can help you discover hidden strengths and esoteric secrets for next steps in your life!

Don't miss out on this unique and exciting opportunity to dive deeper into the world of animal dreams, which we will be exploring this fall!

And **stay tuned to our [Mailing List](https://mailchi.mp/f638e963aa01/dreamguild) for an entire series of events on Animals in Dreams this fall!** We're also hosting an in-person Friday morning dream group starting in September in Durham - [RSVP Here on Meetup!](https://www.meetup.com/alchemical-dreamers-guild/events/294864593/)

**Logistics:**

Our plan is to create a loose structure. The Zoo is open from 9am-5pm.

For anyone who is wanting to **walk around in a group**, Benji will be excited to hear people's animal dream experiences all day!

Feel free to drive separately or to carpool, coming and going as you please. **Please use the discussion board below to request carpools!**

Recommended arrival: **We will meet at the Zoo at 10:00am, so we can begin exploring the zoo as a group.**

We will invite all attendees to eat l**unch together** inside the zoo at **12:30pm**. This gives us a chance to connect & share any insights we're having!

We will not set an end time, as some people may want to explore the zoo for the entire day, and others may want to leave earlier.
