Hi friends --
Thanks for so warmly welcoming my friends and colleagues, Sam and Sabra, to teach in our community on Sunday night! Sam and Sabra's upcoming retreat is now full and we're starting a waitlist.
We do still have room in our Circling retreat in a couple of weeks, which should be really beautiful and you're all welcome to.
Below please find a message from Sam. It includes some resources on imaginal practice, for those who would like to dive deeper.
Thank you so much for your generous support, and see you soon.
Love,
Dechen
Hello again, lovely DC Dharmanauts!
I’m following up here after last night’s Downtown Dharma gathering with some trailheads leading further into the world of imaginal dharma, for those who are interested in learning more or going further.
First, you can find a rich description of Rosa Lewis’s Shared Imaginal Practice, with a wider selection of suggested prompts and guiding questions, below—easy to practice together with spiritual friends. I certainly recommend perusing Rosa’s website—her dharma transmission is profoundly deep, unique, and hard won from tribulation:

Second, for those interested in deepening with energy body practice, you can find two links below from Rob Burbea’s Path of the Imaginal retreat, courtesy of Dharmaseed. The retreat as a whole is a great entry point into Burbea’s beautiful Soulmaking Dharma teachings:

Third, I’ll include two additional links here from my own work. The first has some information about Communal Reverie, a modality of collective imaginal practice that I sourced and co-developed. The second is an article, co-authored with Sabra, about the related practice of Deep Alignment, which focuses on attuning to the imaginal as a means of contacting what we call "Vow"—the unique pattern expressing your soul’s calling and purpose:
