On-Going Training, Networking and Growing!

My friend Andy was on the phone yesterday following a meeting he'd had with a contact called Chris who had taken the Streams 'Understanding Dreams and Visions' (UDV)Course in Scotland with our good friends from the Streams Training Centre up there (www.northatlanticdreams.net). He, Chris, had apparently loved the Course but was now a little unsure about how to move forward with the new training he had received. This is a common enough issue and one which we at Streams Training Centre, England are thinking through in terms of what we can do to help.

Part of the problem is that, at the moment, dream interpreters are relatively few and far between. Cheltenham is one area where there is a fair number of us within 20 miles of one another, but that's NOT true for many others. But that is changing, so we need to think through how we can network and work together as this thing grows and develops in England. We're trying trying to build an empire - this is KINGDOM building.

We already hold excellent Dream Interpretation Workshops roughly every six weeks. There are really informal, open to everybody whether they have taken the Streams 'UDV' Course or not. So these workshops work as a taster for those who know next to nothing but are interested, as well as those who want to practise dream interpreting and are eager for more practical hints and help. But they are based in Cheltenham, only last for a couple of hours at most, and are therefore out of the reach of many people.

So what we are looking at is perhaps offering a two option approach to helping 'graduates' of the 'UDV' put all this wonderful stuff into practice. These are our thoughts so far:

1) A single day (a Saturday, surely....) which would take place in Cheltenham primarily (but which could be held elsewhere if UDV grads can gather sufficient others to make it worthwhile for us to travel. Features of the day could be: Practical Dream Interpretation in teams and/or individuals; additional teaching and hints on specific subjects within the dreams topic; how to set up your own Dream outreach team etc.

2) A weekend where we cover all the above (with significantly more practical dream interpretation) PLUS an actual dream outreach on the streets or at an event so you get a feel for what an outreach is like (it's fantastic!).

As needed, 'delegates' would have to find their own way to the venue, find their own accommodation and pay for food etc.

We would have to charge for these events - POSSIBLY £35 for the day, and £50 for the weekend (we haven't done proper costing yet and we do have to charge to cover our costs and put some money into future work).

So, if either, or both of these options seriously appeals to you, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know by email or by posting a comment to this blog. Also, if you have better or different suggestions, again, PLEASE let me know.

I have a feeling that, for some, this might really scratch where there's an itch! And if that's true, then we'll work at setting it all up.
