Awakenings Dreamwork

Transforming Loss into Love

Meet Elizabeth

Connecting through Sacred Expression

Elizabeth Bryan-Jacobs Sacred Expressions

Decades of research in hospice and cultures around the world have shown that, through dreams and visions, deceased loved ones come to help us leave.

They can also come to help us stay.

These dreams offer profound feelings of peace, comfort, and love, fostering an enduring bond with our loved ones. They rekindle hope where all was lost and inspire faith where none existed.

My “aha moment” on my personal dreamwork journey was when I realized this: The dreams of the dying and our “normal” dreams have one thing in common: They come from the same place.

And, whatever the guiding force may be, the dream maker seems to have one singular purpose: to support us through life’s most challenging and profound transition.

Drawing from world wisdom traditions, art therapy, depth psychology, consciousness research and my own lived experiences, I have been blessed to synthesize what I know to be true:  Through combining dedicated practices of art, contemplation, and dream incubation, we can evoke meaningful, healing dreams with our departed loved ones.

This work has lifted up another truth:  we can cultivate an eternal, spiritual relationship with our loved ones that supports us in living our lives. We can embark on the Journey from Loss to Love.

From Lori:

“My mom came to me in a dream, and now I know I can call on her energy more regularly.  This work reminds me that I have loved ones that I can access through my dreams.  I feel like I’ve gotten a gift through this program!”

Awakening to Eternal Love, Comfort and Connection combines art therapy, dreamwork, ritual and meditation to support you in nurturing a spiritual relationship with your loved ones through your dreams.

Whether you dream of your loved one right away, or it takes some time, each facet of this practice can help you feel your loved one’s presence at any time, through synchronicities and waking dreams.

Synchronicities are miracles, meaningful coincidences that have no rational explanation, like a butterfly landing on the same windowsill every year on a loved one’s birthday or a song playing when you need to hear it most.

Waking dreams are dream-like experiences we have when awake, like daydreams, visions, or moments in deep meditation where wisdom or messages seem to come from outside ourselves.

The more we open to these experiences during the day, the more readily they will flow into our dreams at night.

Death is a Drawing Together of Two Worlds

“Elizabeth is a masterful, enthralling and gifted facilitator, guide and healer.  Her knowledge of dream practices is deeply intertwined with Jungian psychology and all manners of spiritual wisdom traditions. Her insights are keenly transformative, and always offered in a tender, safe nest of loving care.  She is grace and love incarnate!” – Ann R.
