We will review and discuss dreams and texts related to the Green Lion, and with active imagination and writing exercises, we will seek to co-create a subtle body field to support healing and discovery. Looking into life stories, dreams, film clips and related alchemical images, such as the Tibetan snow lion roaring over the heart to awaken each seeker individually, we may find our heart capacities grow.
