AWAKENING TOGETHER: COLLECTIVE DREAM EXPLORATION WITH INTEGRAL DEEP LISTENING & TELE’DRAMA
Presenter: Joseph Dillard, PhD (Germany)

Description:
This two-hour experiential online workshop, led by Joseph Dillard, PhD, combines Integral Deep Listening (IDL) and Tele’Drama to explore the potential of collective dreaming. The session merges IDL’s structured approach to perspective-taking with the action methods of Tele’Drama, including virtual psychodrama and sociodrama, to engage participants in a collaborative exploration of dream roles and shared unconscious themes.Participants will select and embody a dream character of their choice, visually represented through a transformed profile image. Using a guided process, each character will reflect on their purpose for attending, their preferred ways of engaging with others, and their vision for what the group might dream collectively. Characters will also offer guidance on how their human counterpart can prepare for and recall a collective dream, as well as how to integrate the experience meaningfully. The process concludes with each character expressing what they hope the human participant will carry forward from the experience.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn how to integrate Tele’Drama’s Social Dreaming Matrix with Integral Deep Listening character interviewing techniques in an online setting.
2. Practice embodying and interacting as a dream character to access shared themes and promote collective meaning-making.
