In this DVD, Christa Lancaster and Marc Bregman introduce the theory and practice of this work through a unique form of working with dreams in a group setting, called String Therapy.
Through the examples of two dreamers, a man and a woman, Christa and Marc show how dreams can open up through drama, allowing the dreamer to experience new feelings, revelations and direction.
The intention of each dream is to bring the dreamer closer to the true soul self, called the Child Self.
Included with the DVD is a booklet with an essay by Marc Bregman, where he speaks of the journey we can take, through dreams, to return to this Child Self.
Christa and Marc show how dreams can open dreamers to their souls in this incredible introductory dvd.
Cost: $12
In this book, Marc and Christa are addressing the issue of past lives and the inner soul child self.
Why even consider the possibility of past lives? Because many people have dreams that suggest past lives, past events, past experiences.
This book explores the issue of past lives so that we can feel into how those experiences influence how we live our lives now, in present time. The point is not the past, but the present moment.
About how we live the past in the present, often even creating the past so that we can live it now.
The dreams can take us through not only issues of this lifetime but of our past lives as well so that we can be in the sensuality of living now, in this moment, manifesting the inner, Divine child in connection with the Divine.
Includes 6 DVDs and a Companion Book
Archetypal Dreamwork is an incredibly personal and individual process - every dream is crafted precisely for every dreamer.
In Journeys into the Knight, Christa Lancaster and Marc Bregman present this work through intimate portraits of individual dreamers.
The six DVDs contain film and commentary of both String Therapy Sessions filmed live at the North of Eden Retreat Center and dramatized teaching therapy sessions filmed during Master Therapist Classes at The Center for Archetypal Dreamwork.
The sessions presented are raw, unchoreographed sessions, offering an intimate portrait of people working with their dreams, going deeply into what keeps them from themselves, taking steps as shown by their dreams.
Included on the DVDs:
To find our true child selves, to claim the elixir of Divine Love, we must journey through our dreams to the core of our souls. We begin our lives as the child self with a connection to the Divine. But, by necessity, as we grow up, the child self recedes from the ego below the subconscious and into the unconscious. The gap between the ego and the child self is revealed in the discrepancies presented in dreams.
Like ocean waves that wash up onto the shore and leave behind flecks of foam and parts of the ocean itself, the Child Self also leaves flecks or fragments of what was once a divine reality as it recedes into the unconscious. These spiritual fragments in the subconscious are not the wholeness of the child self. They are fragments of a gift, or the remembrance of something holy.
The intention of the child self is to seek Divine Love. Our choice as adults is—Will we go back to reclaim the child self? That is the work of Archetypal Dreamwork.
The Deep Well Tapes is the first book in a series of books about Archetypal Dreamwork. Written by founder Marc Bregman with Susan Marie Scavo and Ellen Keene, the book explores the foundations of Archetypal Dreamwork, offering a broad view of this unique way of working wtih dreams.
From the back cover:
"The journey to the Fields of Abraham and the fullest sense of being in the fields require the descent into the deep well. It is there that one finds the true life with the Divine. I know of no spirituality that exists without a direct, personal soul to soul connection with the Divine.
The Deep Well Tapes - The Secret of the Pomegranate is the second book in The Deep Well Tapes series. Written by Marc Bregman with Susan Marie Scavo, The Secret of the Pomegranate explores The Big Lie through the lens of Western mythology.
From the book cover:
This book began with the intention of exploring what keeps us all from the journey to our true nature. To explore and expose the Big Lie that whirls inside and outside keeping us from the light at the end of the tunnel, from the treasure at the rainbow's end.
Sex, Trauma and Conjunctio furthers and deepens the exploration of Archetypal Dreamwork already explored in the first two books of The Deep Well Tapes series. This book includes in-depth personal narratives of several Archetypal Dreamwork Teachers, including a full memoir by Christa Lancaster tracing her personal journey as led by her dreams.
A memoir written by Bob Murray about his experience doing this work. From the first chapter:
A CHICKEN HAWK FLOATS OVER
A former English teacher at the high school level, I’d often begin a school year or semester-length class by reading this James Wright poem:
Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota
Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly,
Asleep on the black trunk,
Blowing like a leaf in green shadow.
Down the ravine behind the empty house,
The cowbells follow one another
Into the distances of the afternoon.
To my right,
In a field of sunlight between two pines,
The droppings of last year's horses
Blaze up into golden stones.
I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
I have wasted my life.
Seth Mullins began his book in January 2009 as a short story about a dwarfish like man who has a mirror - a mirror that shows the truth when looked into.
The story blossomed into an entire world, like that of Narnia, like that of Middle Earth.
In Song of the Twice Born, characters of a community talk about their experiences of looking into the magic mirror and what they learned about themselves. And it tells the story of the community they lived commited to following the way of truth.

From the journal of Patrick O’Delan:
Sirrus has advised us to record our experiences as we follow his path to spiritual discernment. So, I have decided to comply – and I shall begin with my account of the bizarre incidents surrounding my first encounter with our dwarfen mentor.
From The River From My Mouth: Poems
Iris Open
Irises open their tight blue hearts
in a day, this is how I remember it,
the dark of birth unbolts.
Like thunder-clouds or starlings.
Breaking into air.
This is how the heart breaks,
not into pieces, but blue tongues.
A kind of grace
in this disregarding world.
Blue tongues, and at their center,
a yellow star.

Praise for The River From My Mouth
In Karla Van Vliet’s poems I find a tender merging of nature’s fragility and the inner strength of her own desire to find meaning in the realm of the Divine. Through a romantic search for union with the Beloved the poems trill in erotic anticipation of the fulfillment. Van Vliet’s poems are sensual, mysterious, lustrous and sublime.

What would you say if someone told you that all the masterful dream interpreters in history, from the biblical Joseph to the heretical Freud were - well, wrong? That is the jolt delivered by Rodger Kamenetz in this powerful and beautifully written book. Kamenetz is a soul-searcher, quite literally, and we are all better off because of it.

Alligator Tears
My father’s birthday is in September
Turns 80 first day of the fall
His health is hanging on, still got lots of kick
But that number, well, you wonder bout it all
Man there’s so much I want to tell you
I can’t imagine where to start
So I’ll just sit right here and let it all come out
God help me throw the valve that stops my heart
