PROGRAMS FOR POSITIVE CHANGE

Dreams impart the essentials for life’s journey. Ancients called upon dreams for healing and well-being 3,000 years ago in the Greek cults of Demeter, Aphrodite, and Asclepius in temples to the gods.

We are only beginning in these contemporary times to understand and reclaim the power of dreams to empower our lives as women.

Joyce’s goal: demystify dreams and offer a contemporary approach to dreams and their essential role in our daily lives for positive health, self expression, relationships, social change., and spiritual growth.

Joyce covered national politics in Washington, D.C for a decade. After she moved to San Francisco, she remembered her first dream, which imparted the ending for a screenplay she was writing. Then, she personally learned about the power of dreams to guide and heal. For decades, she has written and taught how to call on the power of dreams in our work and our lives.

She is the author of PLUM DREAMS DIARY: On Mothers, Men, Modern Medicine, and the Divine, a collection of nocturnal messages exploring the contemporary female psyche and  DREAMS AND THE WISDOM WITHIN, a spiritual journey of healing. TRUTH: Dreams Reveal Rising Tide of Fascism Engulfing America 2000-Present will be published in 2024.

Drawing on degrees in education and journalism, she teaches how to remember, understand, listen to, and express the messages of your dreams.

As the editor and publisher of PLUM DREAMS MEDIA, a communications company, she is dedicated to transforming women’s lives and revolutionizing society by reporting and exposing deeper  truths than traditional media or the five senses reveal. Through print, digital, and spoken word, PDM explores the power of dreams to reveal, guide, heal, and expand awareness and consciousness.

 DREAMS AND SOCIAL ACTIVISM

 DREAM WISDOM FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

We can each use our Inner Wisdom, our intuition, our dreams, to find the act, deed, project, or message that will make us a powerful force for social change.

For centuries, dreams have guided nations toward their destinies. Dream rituals dominated ancient Greek culture where temples were places to incubate dreams. Dreams are intricate to the religions of the world.

In this educational workshop, you will learn: how other women have called on dreams for social change, how to understand dreams through a simple classification system, and how to use dreams to formulate and implement your own action plan.

Bring recurring or recent dream/s and your journal, and learn to use your dreams to make a positive difference in the world. 

 DREAMING: A POWERFUL SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

Dream allusions fill the sacred books of Judaism–the Torah, Talmud, and Kabbalah, and prayerbook. As the stories of Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, Solomon, and others show, dreams are a path to the wisdom within. But dream power is not only for kings and prophets or for men alone, dreaming is a gift we all possess.

As co-founder of the Jewish Association of Spirituality and Dreams (JASD28.org), Joyce embraces dream awareness as a fundamental pillar of Jewish spirituality and a spiritual practice for all.

What if the Jewish community shared dreams with each other? What insights might flow from calling upon nocturnal messages? How might we, individually and communally, use our dreams for healing?

JASD programs support spiritual seekers in expressing dream wisdom in their creative, personal, and professional lives and in their social activism. Exploring biblical dream narratives teaches seekers how to integrate dream messages into life’s journey.

For synagogues, campus Hillels, Jewish Centers, and Jewish women’s gatherings to integrate dreams as a pillar of Jewish spirituality into services and programs.

Joyce’s parents and grandparents were active in the Jewish community in Columbus, Ohio, where she grew up. The Hillel at Ohio State University was dedicated to her grandfather because of his passion for the role of Judaism in student life. She learned from their examples the essence of being Jewish is tikkun olam, repairing the world. Calling upon dream guidance is a powerful way to manifest the spiritual imperative.
