Summer Dream Conference:
God’s Forgotten Language
The 2010 conference, held at Kanuga Conference Center, Hendersonville, NC, has been called the best one yet!
We are now accepting applications for 2011.
This conference has become the portal for Christian dream work in our time.
A tradition was begun in the Summer of 2003 – a major conference for all who want to recover the ancient Biblical tradition of listening for God’s word in our nightly dreams. We have had a large crowd every summer, and the conference has been designed for new and returning participants. In addition to lectures and workshops, there will be outdoor/indoor worship, music, the Kanuga Labyrinth, and all the gifts of the Blue Ridge Mountains in early summer.
The Bible is full of dreams. Paying attention to dreams did not end with Biblical times. The early church theologian, Tertullian, said: “Is it not known to all people that the dream is the most usual way of God’s revelation to humankind?” Later generations tended to discount dreams, at a great loss to our soul. However, we are now seeing a resurgence of respect and honor for our dreams.
Understanding our dreams in the light of the Christian faith and tradition is the objective of this conference. There will be special programs for beginning, returning and advanced participants. The conference is for previous attendees, professionals (especially clergy), counselors, therapists, lay dream group leaders, and anyone who wants to integrate this process into his/her life.
