Awakenings Dream Circle Focus Group:

Incubating on Eternal Love with Elizabeth Bryan-Jacobs

6/19 and 7/31, 5:30-7:30pm

+1 individual zoom session

Dreams and visions of loved ones passed, both human and pet, is a universal phenomenon that has been documented since the beginning of time.  In this six-week, groundbreaking program, Elizabeth Bryan-Jacobs will facilitate guests in arts-based dream incubation practices and rituals she has created from years of research, world wisdom traditions and her own dream experiences with lost loved ones. This Awakenings Dream Circle Focus Group includes 2 in-person arts-based dreamwork sessions at the Uplands and 1 virtual dreamwork session with Elizabeth midway through the program, and specific dream incubation practices that offer the possibility of bringing forward dreams of those no longer with us.  Elizabeth is also available to offer support at any time during the program.
This opportunity benefits attendees through grief support, emotional and spiritual connection, mindfulness skills and an enhanced experience that comes through the shared dreams and stories. Participants must have had one such dream experience of a lost loved one (human or pet), be able to attend all sessions, and implement the practices 3x/week or until they have had a meaningful experience that they are willing to journal and share with Elizabeth.

This Dream Incubation focus group is a free opportunity being held for the purpose of research that may potentially be shared in Elizabeth’s upcoming book. All aspects of confidentiality will be maintained, and attendees can end their participation at any time.  Attendance is limited.  To register, email renee@uplandscenter.org.  For any questions about the program, you can reach Elizabeth directly at Ebryanart@gmail.com .

Bird Walk w/ Delaware Otsego Audubon Society

Sat June 29, 8-9:30am

Join DOAS Director Charlie Scheim, Bird Sightings author Sandy Bright, and The Uplands’ Environmental Director for a morning bird walk at The Uplands Center in Walton, NY (2641 Dunk Hill Road) on Saturday June 29 at 8:00am. Our focus will be on observing birds and their breeding behaviors.

The Uplands Center has acres of fields and forests, great habitat for breeding birds. We will meet just outside the main lodge. The walk will begin on a mostly level grassy path through a large field where we will likely find a number of grassland species. We will then follow a path through a wooded area with some gentle uphills and downhills, seeking woodland inhabitants. There are accessible rest rooms at the walk’s beginning and end and some rest spots along the way. The walk will likely last about an hour and a half.

This program is free and there is no pre-registration required. You may call Charlie Scheim at 607-434-4880 for more information or for any last minute weather concerns.
