“Dreams are unopened letters to oneself”
(Eric Fromm, 1955)

Some of us remember our dreams, others don’t seem to – but we do all dream. This workshop is designed for those who are interested in exploring how to understand their dreaming process. The underlying meaning of a dream can emerge through the dreamer reconnecting with their dream experience and exploring with the meaning it has for them – not through interpretation!
This 2 hour workshop will introduce you to some simple ways of reconnecting
with your dreams. Please bring a dream or a dream image with you!

New CPD coming soon...

  • Testimonials

    “The Persona Supervision course was ideal for me. Clearly set out over several weekends over several months meant I had plenty time to complete any course work whilst also having sufficient time to learn and practice the material. The tutors are knowledgeable, approachable and really engaged in the course too which gave me a real feeling of equality rather than traditional tutor/ student dynamic.”

    Laura – Certificate in Clinical Supervision

    “This course has been lifechanging. The unique style of delivery and residential aspect has been unique, challenging and absolutely crucial not only in my development as a counsellor but in my own personal process. The staff have been phenomenal and I will cherish the experience. Thank you to all of you involved.”

    “Being on the programme opened up new insights into who I was – an awareness to change certain things and an acceptance of those things in me that I could truly cherish. This wouldn’t have been possible without my peers and tutors. A great learning experience indeed!”

  • Testimonials

    “My time through the diploma was a wonderful journey of discovery. Discovery of hidden pain but also beautiful gems within myself and others. I felt safe and supported by my fellow students, and the trainers and visiting professionals from the course. It has changed me in ways I could never have imagined and I count myself blessed to have been privileged to travel that journey.”

    Lesley- PG Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy

  • Testimonials

    “Training to become a supervisor with Persona was absolutely the right decision for me. The theory was broken down into easy digestible chunks, interwoven with strands of creative experiential learning and peer supervision. The level of knowledge, skills and experience the trainers have was evident in their style and approach. For me, this was a very held, nurtured and safe experience and a first-hand example of the Core Conditions live in Action. Having such a positive experience has been fundamental in helping me discover the type of supervisor I am striving to become”
