Wilka spends on average 25 hours per month facilitating dreamwork for people worldwide and sustains a daily personal dreamwork practice. The collage dreamscapes throughout this site are the synthesis of each month's dreamwork sessions. They began as a visual index to identify, articulate, and honor the themes, elements, and messages emerging collectively from the individual and group work each week. Emerging from a shared collective intuition, the dream collages and their messages reveal their own oracular nature. They bring to conscious awareness the work being done in and with the collective unconscious, and they mark the evolution collectively experienced.
