Here to enrich your own research and learning process.

We invite you into the role of researcher to explore:

  • your own ancestral lineages and memories to reclaim a stronger earth-based identity and orientation - to guide us into our best future together.

  • the oral history and mythology woven into the lands you were raised in, visit, or live in and how that shapes your knowing.

  • visiting another culture and territory and recording your personal experience and learning through all your senses.

“Dreams were deemed important avenues for glimpsing the future, finding that which had been lost, understanding the cause of psychological disharmony, and the origin of needs and wishes that must be honored. Throughout Indian America, dreams and dreaming were considered essential to success and happiness in life.”

— Gregory Cajete (1994). Look to the mountain: An ecology of Indigenous education

COURSE AUTHOR + GUIDE

Founder, Hannah Ruth Dyson offers her unique insights and perspective as a living researcher and storyteller to this course.

“As a child I had extraordinary dreams without a safe place to communicate them. It was only later in life, through this work and connecting with other cultures, that what I thought was extraordinary could also be understood as ordinary.. Dreams and visions can be grounded and held within a really beautiful context of knowledge, of wisdom, of relations. Each community I have worked with has influenced my dreams, deepened and expanded my perspective, and influenced my path. Dreams continue to be such a rich resource for learning, processing and remembering. For every major or minor life event I pay close attention to my dreams to understand what is taking place.”
