Resident Workshop: Social Dreaming Matrix with Katie Chin

  • Stove Works 1250 East 13th Street Chattanooga, TN, 37408 United States (map)

Join Resident Katie Chin as your facilitator in a Social Dreaming Matrix!

Dreams are an important resource for a community. When accessed and shared, they represent a way of thinking together. The Matrix provides a space that enables dreams to speak to us, making unconscious experience available to our collective, conscious living. Social Dreaming aims to give birth to new thoughts emerging from the infinite unconscious.

This workshop is hosted in partnership with The New York Center for Social Dreaming and The New York Center for the Study of Groups, Organizations, and Social Systems who regularly facilitate Social Dreaming Matrices.

A Social Dreaming Matrix is a gathering in which strangers share their dreams and make associative links in a group setting. The matrix creates space for communal reflection and meaning-making, offering another dimension to explore connectivity, perception, and shared imagination.

Anyone interested in learning about social dreaming to expand their awareness of collective experiences is welcome.
