Description
SOI Advanced Imagery | Shainberg on Embodiment | Mondays | October 20, 2025 – May 11, 2026 | 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM ET (US)
Dreaming is the universal language of the body. It is our most fundamental body language, revealing to us the truth of who we are, what is real, and what we need to know. In other words: embodiment is the most essential result and purpose of dreaming and imagery practice.
In this course, Catherine Shainberg will continue exploring and applying the power of dreaming to outer manifestation, especially, in and from our bodies – that is, through embodiment.
During this course, you will develop an in-depth understanding that your life – and your dreaming – happen in the body. What makes you creative is feeling, generosity, loving kindness, yearning to find healthy solutions, playing with the myriad forms that are also conscious and consciously respond to you. All of this requires embodiment. It is the source of your humanity and your uniqueness. Only dreaming and imagery – the universal language of the body – can tell you the whole truth. We are co-creators. We dream the world into being. That includes our bodies.
Saphire® Imagery is central to all we teach at the School. Based on an ancient practice, it offers an innovative way to access the portal to transformation that exists in each of us. The uniqueness of Saphire® is the jolt contained in each short imagery exercise that, seemingly like “abracadabra” opens the doors to your subconscious and plunges you straight into your dreaming mind.
Saphire® Imagery is the practice of inner vision. It teaches you how to short-circuit your inner chatter and hone into the image that speaks louder than a thousand words. Quick, revelatory, surprising, it is an event to be experienced. You will gain immediate access to your creativity, truth and inner guidance.
The class is open to those who have either taken SOI [Beginning] Imagery or with Catherine’s approval based on previous participation with Catherine or one of SOI’s senior teachers. To confirm if you can attend this class, send our school administrator an email at admin@theschoolofimages.org
