When Dreams Dance is the culmination of decades of praying, dreaming, and "dancing"—both literally and metaphorically. Since childhood, these three soulful expressions have richly informed my life journey, deepening my connection to my authentic self and supporting my intentional work toward wholeness. From this foundation, my presence and service in the world began to unfold in many meaningful ways.
And now it’s my sincere joy to support your process of healing and becoming, whether through one-on-one, small group, or community offerings. Please do reach out to schedule a free discovery call! Individual services include SomaSoul: Somatic Therapy, FiveStar Method Dreamwork Mentoring, Holistic Life Coaching, HeartMath Resiliency Mentoring, or just the right combination and balance of any of these.
The cameo offering of When Dreams Dance brings together the essence of what I've learned (experientially and academically) into a unique approach to dreamwork based on the co-creative dream paradigm enhanced through somatic/expressive practices and in service of spiritual deepening. (More details coming soon!)
As the Principle Host for DreamStar Community, as well as the Principle Trainer for DreamStar Institute, I would also like to invite you to join our online dreamwork community.
You can find When Dreams Dance on Facebook and Instagram.
Warmly, 🌹Kim+
