Why Retreat?
The etymology of the word retreat means "to draw back." A retreat is a time to draw back - away from your day-to-day life, away from being entwined in your life, whatever the circumstances. When we draw back, we give ourselves the chance to take a breath, take stock, feel into where we are.
It is a time to reassess.
The underlying philosophy of the NOE Retreat Center is a commitment to each individual's journey to find their true self. Each of us can open to a real and personal relationship with ourselves and with our spirituality, if that is what we are called toward. Each of us has our own journey and our own personal manifestation of that relationship.

What is a Dreamwork Retreat?
Archetypal Dreamwork Retreats are four and a half day weekend retreats offered several times a year at the North of Eden Retreat Center in northern Vermont.
Our program consists of small groups working with individual’s dreams, facilitated by Marc Bregman, the founder of Archetypal Dreamwork, and a team of experienced group leaders.
The process of a dreamwork retreat revolves around our unique String Therapy, a deep, immediate way of working with dreams. String Therapy allows the unconscious material of a dream or series of dreams to come into the present moment in order to discover and explore the core learning of the dream for the dreamer. Each participant will have the opportunity to have a series of dreams enacted and experienced by members of the group. After each string experience, we will explore and process the effect of the string work for each person in the group. This is an exciting and dynamic way of engaging both the dreamer and the whole group.
