Recently, Christa Lancaster and Marc Bregman travelled to Telluride, CO to present Archetypal Dreamwork in a one-day workshop.
They had a great turnout for the event - the people who came were enthusiastic and excited. One of the folks who came, San Juan County Commissioner Art Goodtimes, was so inspired that he wrote about it in the local Telluride paper called The Watch. Here's where it is on their website:

And here's what Art wrote:
NORTH OF EDEN … Several local folks (most of them from Norwood) hosted a most amazing workshop at the Ah Haa School this last weekend. Off season is a great time to bring presenters to town from far away, and the North of Eden (NOE) crew traveled far west from Montpelier, Vermont, to share their brand of Jungian dreamwork. I like to call it therapy theater … Someone willing to expose their inner psyche to the group gives a dream to co-leaders Marc Bregman and Christa Lancaster who review them, and if they’re suitable for the group, uses the dream as a script for role-playing. NOE associates jump to the sub-roles, as the dreamer relives the experience in front of everyone.
Often Marc suggests role reversals, and the dreamer trades places with others, and feelings are constantly elicited and reflected on. It is a marvelous group process that often brings one to tears, as the pain and fear and traumas of another’s unconscious come to light in front of one, like improv theater of the soul …

Woke up in the middle of the night and started scribbling. But lately, seduced by the busyness of the world, I’ve let my dream world fade into the shadows. And what NOE’s dreamwork teaches one is that our dreams are keys to our emotional and psychological states. Remembering them. Reflecting on them. Working with trained NOE folks to examine them.
One’s dreams can unlock behaviors and stuck places that one has never been able to deal with in the scrutiny of conscious mind … So now, it’s back to pads at the bedside. And another in the traveling valise. In fact, I can’t wait to go to sleep…
