Dancing With the Bear from Robert Moss

Archive : Dancing With the Bear – Robert Moss

Reclaim your vitality, creativity, and joy as you dream with the Bear and connect to the healing animal spirits in your body and life.

Discover how to use your dream images to create a new blueprint for your body, “rewrite” a nightmare, or dream for another in need of healing.

The Bear is the great medicine animal of North America. In ancient Greece, girls danced in bearskins in honor of the goddess Artemis as “She-Bear” in their rites of passage into womanhood.

And since Paleolithic times in Europe, the Bear has been considered the king of beasts, and there’s been a sacred kinship between bears and humans.

Most of us no longer live close to the Bear in nature, but bears still appear in our dreams, and we can find our way — through shamanic dream journeying — to the realms of Bear wisdom and the Great Earth Mother.

World-renowned dream explorer and author Robert Moss has enjoyed a special connection to Bear since he faced a huge bear in a recurring nightmare by reentering the dream.

Through Active Dreaming, a “waking” dream journeying practice of dream reentry (or dream creation) to the beat of a drum, Robert was able to shift his fear of the animal to an embrace.

And in doing so, he received from the Bear what he needed to heal — a gift that includes his ability to consistently call on Bear wisdom for his own healing and for insights into what others need to heal. It was Bear who called him to become a dream healer.

In Dancing With The Bear, you’ll join Robert on a new 7-step online adventure into healing and growing your life through Active Dreaming, imagination, and “deep” play, supported and protected by the Bear.

You’ll dream journey to reclaim ancestral wisdom, call on the power of the animal spirits, and visit places of healing and transformation in the world-behind-the-world.

You’ll discover that dreaming is medicine…

… that our dreams show us what’s going on inside our bodies and what we need to stay well. And when we do become ill, our dreams give us fresh and powerful imagery for self-healing.

By working with our personal imagery — and changing those images in positive ways — we can actually create a new blueprint for the body. And when we learn to go back inside our dreams and dream them onward, we can open paths of healing for ourselves — and others.

Over the seven modules of this exciting new training, you’ll learn and practice the core techniques of Active Dreaming, Robert’s powerful and original synthesis of shamanic journeying with lucid dreaming and the best of modern dreamwork and dream science.

And you’ll use this potent practice and the magic of your own imagination to travel to the realm of Bear wisdom.

You’ll learn from Bear and our other “animal doctors” how to follow the natural paths of your energy, and to honor the animal spirits in your body and your life.

And you’ll discover that active dreaming is central to soul recovery — reclaiming vital energy you may have lost through pain or heartbreak, guilt, or addiction.

You’ll also learn to grow healing stories, and how to bring a dream to someone who needs a dream.

Within the course’s virtual community, you’ll help grow the sacred space and compassionate circle energy that make the extraordinary easy.

You’ll learn to honor your healing journeys through spontaneous ritual, art, storymaking, and story sharing. You’ll play wonderful games that will delight your inner child, tone up your immune system, and make your soul clap its hands and sing.

Robert tells the story of how one dreamer met this powerful “animal doctor”…

How a Physician Was Called to the Medicine Bear

A woman physician in Alaska dreamed that her two grandmothers, one Athapaskan Indian, the other Euro-American, paid her a visit in the same dream. They told her, “Go to Robert Moss. You need to meet the Bear. Until you meet the Bear, you will only be a doctor, not yet a healer.”

At the time, the doctor had never heard of me. But she made a search and immediately pulled up the details of a workshop I was leading in Oregon a few weeks later. The title of this program was “Dancing with the Bear: Reclaiming the Arts of Dream Healing.”

The physician did not hesitate. She booked a plane ticket, flew down the coast, drove in a rental car out to a small center near Bend, and was soon singing an Indigenous song to call in the healing power of the Bear. On our first morning together, we journeyed together down into the Cave of the Bear to receive its gifts.

After the drumming, the physician from Alaska came back with tears of joy in her eyes. She told us, “I now know what is required for me to be a true healer as well as a physician. When my patients come to me, they will get the best that modern medicine has to offer. At the same time, they will receive the healing power of the Bear because it’s all around me.”

She told me later that when she worked with patients in her office, she felt Bear paws over her hands, gently guiding her in diagnosis and healing. And that when she had to accompany a patient to an operating room, she would get everyone present — nurses, orderlies, even the occasional radiologist — to sing the song I had given her to call the Bear.

Dancing With The Bear will be exciting and mind-expanding on both intellectual and experiential levels, as you draw on ancient wisdom traditions, mythology, cross-cultural shamanic practices, and Mystery traditions.

Prepare to unfurl your imagination, step up and face your fears, and reach for the furry paw of a guide that can bring you courage, strength, self-empowerment — and best of all — remind you how to play and feel the magic and joy of your inner child.

This dance is yours….

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules

During this 7-part program, Robert will guide you through the fundamental insights, skills, and practices you’ll need to reclaim your vitality, creativity, and joy as you dream with the Bear and connect to the healing animal spirits in your body and life.

Each teaching session will build upon the next so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to use your dream images to co-create healing for yourself or dream for another in need of healing.

Module 1: Enter the Cave of the Dreaming Bear

Get ready to go deep at the very start of this course, into a place of healing and regeneration and reconnection with the animal spirits. You’ll discover, or grow stronger, your personal Tree of Vision, and find you can use it as a portal to many worlds.

In a shamanic journey, powered by drumming, you’ll be invited to enter the embrace of the Great Mother Bear and discover what you need in order to heal yourself and help others to heal. You may meet other animal doctors. Our connections with the many animal spirits offer us distinct gifts and wisdom.

Come ready to:

Grow your personal Tree of Vision as a gateway between worlds
Journey to the Cave of the Medicine Bear for immediate healing, guidance, and renewal
Learn from the animal doctors how to follow the natural paths of your energy
Honor the animal spirits in your body and your life
Turn your adventures into stories, art, and creative expression to delight your inner child
Find your voice in a community of creative dreamers who will support your soul odyssey

Module 2: Bring Home Your Beautiful Dreamer

The child in you is the master of dreams and imagination, the Great Imagineer. If we have lost our dreams and have trouble visualizing, it is often because we have lost touch with the beautiful bright dreamer in our soul. She may have gone missing because of soul loss caused by pain or abuse or grief, or withdrawn her energy because she has forgotten to play and isn’t much fun to be around.

In this class, we’ll play games designed to bring back the Magical Child and grow your powers of creative visualization. You’ll also learn how to deal with nightmare terrors, bring juice into any day, and grow creative friendships by sharing dreams and life stories the right way.

In this class, you’ll:

Open the path to the Magical Child (who loves the Bear)
Learn how to step through a picture into another world
Apply the very best prescription for nightmares and scary dreams
Learn dream sharing games and multiple ways of understanding dreams
Master the 9 key ways to help kids (including our own inner child) work with dreams and nightmares
Learn the power of using a personal dream or image as the portal for a voyage of imagination

Module 3: Create Your Living Totem Pole

You’re now invited to make a 7-part shamanic journey through the major centers in your energy body. You’ll find this gives you a remarkable diagnostic picture of the present state of your physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

You’ll return with an energy map you can use for further journeys of healing and self-understanding. You’ll find your connection with the animal powers comes richly alive and that you develop a fabulous treasury of living symbols. The artist in you will come vividly alive, as well, as you’re invited to create a living totem pole from your adventures.

In this class, you’ll:

Journey through your 7 major chakras to diagnose your current state of physical, emotional, and mental health
Connect more deeply with animal helpers and see where they want to live in your energy body — and how they want you to live
Develop a treasury of living symbols you can use to release the creator in you, connect with spiritual traditions that are calling you, and help to heal yourself and others
Open and find the voice of your heart
Release your inner artist and creator

Module 4: Create Your Own Apothecary Shop, Stocked With Magical Images

The body believes in images. Abundant evidence from medical science and sports psychology demonstrates that the body responds to an image as it might to a physical event — it can even pump out self-generated pharmaceuticals according to where we place our attention.

Any image that belongs to you can be a source of power and healing, even the scary stuff you would rather keep in a locked box. The trick is to learn how to develop your personal imagery so it can help you to get well and stay well. Your body is waiting for you to get good at this.

In this module, you’ll learn how to:

Harness the diagnostic power of dreams
Stock your mental shelves with healing imagery from dreams and life memories
Understand what is going on with recurring dreams
Create a personal dictionary of symbols
Use active imagination and dream reentry to transform scary dreams and disturbing images
Journey back inside a dream to dialogue with a dream character, claim a power for healing, solve a mystery, or continue the adventure as a lucid dreamer
How to incubate a dream of healing or guidance

Module 5: Build Your House of Healing

You’re invited to journey to a place of direct encounter with the sacred guide and healer, as your ancestors did when the arts of dream healing were fully alive — as pilgrims journeyed to the temples of Asklepios from all over the Mediterranean, as Celts journeyed to the shrine of Sequana at the source of the River Seine, as Japanese seekers came to the sanctuaries of Kanon to ask for healing in the sacred night.

We’ll build anew the temples of dream healing with creative imagination, supported by the exact research of dream archaeologists — both scholarly and experiential — into ancient practice that delivered extraordinary results. We’ll review the testimonies and evidence for the successful ancient practice of dream healing in the temples of Asklepios, Sequana, and other patron deities.

In this module, you’ll:

Invoke the sacred guide in the right way
Recognize and celebrate the role of the animal powers in this mode of healing
Perform simple rituals to open our own passage to the sacred guide and healer
Journey to the temple of healing and pass through successive stages of purification and initiation, leading to the invitation to a direct encounter with a divine healer
Bring away with us an inner House of Healing to which we can return any time for renewal and regeneration

Module 6: Two Ravens, Mother Bear & Riding Your Windhorse

You’re a time traveler in your dreams. On any night, you may travel into past, future, or parallel times. As an active dreamer, you can embark on conscious adventures in time travel, to heal the past, make better choices about the possible future, and draw on the gifts and lessons of parallel lives.

In this class, we’ll call on the sight and flying ability of the Two Ravens — Thought and Memory — to see where we need to journey now to accomplish transtemporal healing. You may be called to journey to a younger self in her own Now time and act as the mentor and protector she needs. You may also be called to reclaim a part of your own vital energy and imagination that went missing, and bring it home, within the embrace of Great Mother Bear.

In this module, you’ll:

Claim the power of seership that comes with enlisting the help of the Two Ravens, Thought and Memory
Call on Great Mother Bear to support acts of soul recovery and integration that can make you the healer of your own soul and life
Journey across time to play mentor and helper for a younger self who needs support in her own Now time
Release your Windhorse of spirit and ride it to claim gifts from many parts of your self and soul that have not been fully present in your life
Bring back vital energy and imagination for a juicier, more joyful life!

Module 7: Live Your Bigger Story

We’re all living a story. If we don’t know that, it may be because we are trapped inside the wrong story, one woven from disappointment, self-limitation, and the negative projections of others. We want to allow ourselves the power to step out of the old histories and live a bigger and braver story, one that gives us courage to get through whatever life throws at us. This becomes easier when we awaken to the fact that, as Australian Aborigines say, the big stories are hunting the right people to tell them. The trick is to put ourselves in the places where we are easily found.

In this class, you’ll:

Find your bigger and braver story, a myth to live by
Learn how to tell your stories so well that others will want to hear you
Grow a vision of healing and life possibility so strong that it wants to take root in your body and your world
Bring a story — a healing image, a vision of possibility, a path to the Magical Child or the next world — to someone in need of healing
Entertain the spirits with fresh words

A Voyage Into Healing Through Active Dreaming
Audio Dialogue With Robert Moss and Wanda Burch

Wanda Burch has an amazing story to tell of how she survived a life-threatening illness by working with dreams that diagnosed her disease, gave her personal imagery for healing and recovery, and brought her to a face-to-face encounter with Death in which she renegotiated her life contract. Since that indelible encounter, she has been leading healing retreats, recording original songs, and writing books that bring the core techniques of Active Dreaming to people everywhere. Her friendship with Robert is also an extraordinary example of what dreaming can be. They shared adventures in the dreamworlds as children while living on opposite sides of the world, 30 years before they met in the ordinary world and recognized in each other the sibling they had never had. Learn from Wanda how to make dreams a potent ingredient in a “healing cocktail” for your body and your life, how to bring life-affirming images and rituals to others, how to communicate with the departed in dreams for family healing, and how to build deeper and richer relationships through everyday dream sharing.

Wanda Burch, author of She Who Dreams: A Journey into Healing through Dreamwork, is a long-term breast cancer survivor, alive because of vivid dreams of warning and diagnosis. Wanda presents healing retreats for women surviving chronic illness and for women veterans. Her programs use dreams and music as gateways for claiming easily accessible gifts of the imagination that can help those suffering from illness, trauma, pain and everyday anxiety find a place where souls and hearts can mend. Her current book is The Home Voices Speak Louder Than the Drums: Dreams and the Imagination in Civil War Letters and Memoirs.

The House of Time: Accessing Past, Future & Parallel Lives
A Trio of Journeys From Robert Moss

Your present life is intimately related to dramas and relationships that are playing out in other times — past, future, and parallel. In these powerful journeys, Robert offers you the keys to a fascinating locale in non-ordinary reality that can become your basecamp for adventures in time travel, soul remembering, and communication with other selves in other lives. The House of Time is a created locale in the Imaginal Realm. It has been developed through the active imagination of hundreds of dream explorers and archaeologists who have traveled here over many years. It stands on the foundation of ancient structures dating back thousands of years. It offers multiple portals for traveling to past or future, and into parallel worlds, fully conscious. You can connect mind-to mind with personalities in other times whose life dramas, and gifts and challenges, are related to your own. You may find a doorway to a limitless field of information that some may regard as the Akashic records. You may be able to converse with a master teacher in any field.

In this bonus packaged exclusively for this course, you’ll receive the following journeys:

Journey to the Gatekeeper of the House of Time
Journey to the Gallery of Time
Visit to the House of Time

What is forex?

Quite simply, it’s the global market that allows one to trade two currencies against each other.

If you think one currency will be stronger versus the other, and you end up correct, then you can make a profit.

If you’ve ever traveled to another country, you usually had to find a currency exchange booth at the airport, and then exchange the money you have in your wallet into the currency of the country you are visiting.

Foreign Exchange
You go up to the counter and notice a screen displaying different exchange rates for different currencies.

An exchange rate is the relative price of two currencies from two different countries.

You find “Japanese yen” and think to yourself, “WOW! My one dollar is worth 100 yen?! And I have ten dollars! I’m going to be rich!!!”
When you do this, you’ve essentially participated in the forex market!

You’ve exchanged one currency for another.

Or in forex trading terms, assuming you’re an American visiting Japan, you’ve sold dollars and bought yen.

Currency Exchange

Before you fly back home, you stop by the currency exchange booth to exchange the yen that you miraculously have left over (Tokyo is expensive!) and notice the exchange rates have changed.

It’s these changes in the exchange rates that allow you to make money in the foreign exchange market.
