Our dreams are messages from God. Dreams open us to our inner lives and can help us grow spiritually. Come with your dreams, a journal, and a spirit of enthusiasm to learn about the archetypal themes in our dreams. As a Jungian analyst, S. Olga will help us understand the concept of alchemy as a metaphor for inner transformation and how working through our dreams can help us advance on the road to individuation - to wholeness.

Our personality characteristics create diversity in our world. Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) we will learn how our choices bring gifts to our spouses, friends, and coworkers. In learning to pray with an awareness of our differing personality types, we can awaken to new possibilities for personal growth! We can understand ourselves better, appreciate others more fully, and strengthen our relationship with God.
