If dreams came to us as grocery lists, we'd probably pay little attention to them.

Perhaps that's because the psyche doesn't simply want to give us answers; it wants to invite our participation. Dreams arrive much like stories, emotions, symbols, and unexpected images do and they can linger for years. Our lives often speak to us in much the same way. Our night dreams, recurring or not. A myth or fairy tale that feels surprisingly relevant. Patterns in our relationships. An encounter with nature that leaves us awe-filled. Even our bodies, especially our bodies, express what logic alone cannot.

The symbolic language isn't something to decode; it's something to enter into relationship with through curiosity and listening, deep listening.

At Walking Rooted, we practice paying attention.

Through dreams, myth, fairy tales, nature, and our own lived stories, we learn the symbolic language of our lives and cultivate a deeper relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
