New Facilitators—2006
In her work with individuals and groups, she draws on dreams and waking dreams as part of the healing journey. She has presented at several IASD conferences, published in Psychological Perspectives and other journals, and has written a book on using dream work approaches as a healing resource for waking life challenges-- Lucid Waking: Using Dreamwork Principles to Transform Everyday Life. www.lucid-waking.com.
A professional watercolorist, teacher, and past president of the Virginia Watercolor Society, she combines her passion for dreams with art through various processes for creating personal dream mandalas. While drawing and/or painting images emerging from their dreams, dreamers may become aware of emotions and/or situations that can lead to insights, ones that can guide them toward a better understanding of themselves, that might suggest approaches to their situations that can be healing in mind, body, or spirit. Rachel has co-facilitated workshops on dream mandalas with Tallulah Lyons at conferences of the International Association for the Study of Dreams and the Haden Institute. A breast cancer survivor, Rachel is the author of Guided by Dreams: Breast Cancer, Dreams, and Transformation, in which she describes how knowledge gained through dream interpretation guided many of her decisions during treatment and recovery. The book also illustrates several different approaches to working with one’s dreams. Her watercolor painting, “Radiation Therapy,” which is part of the cover design on her book, was exhibited in the 1997 Fall Institute Art Exhibit at the Annual Meeting of Oncology Nursing Society in Washington, D.C. This mandala painting has also been featured in The Mandala Workbook by Susanne F. Fincher. Many of her essays on dreams and mandalas have been published in the national journal Dream Network and a regional monthly newspaper, Echo. Additional information about her work, including some of her essays, can be found on her web site: www.expressiveavenues.com. She resides in Greensboro, NC
