Toko-pa Turner: Living in Between Dreams, Realms, and Reality

The Time of the Feminine - A Global Sisterhood Podcast

Our dreams are a form of communication; to get our attention and for us to actively tend to them. Whether it’s a good dream or a bad one, our dreams want to tell us something we might not have listened to while we were awake. However, scary dreams tell us another thing. Maybe we haven’t tended to them in some way for lack of resources to understand, while also trying to escape the difficulty in our lives in various ways, whether that looks like imbibing social media, other addictions, and various forms of escapism. But once we tend to our dreams that tend to us, we end up responding differently to the world around us. What do our dreams tell us and what are the insights and wisdom from the images we see in our dreams?

Toko-pa, whose name was chosen from her parents from a book of poems called “Technicians of the Sacred” by Jerome Rothenberg, is a Canadian author, teacher, and dreamworker. She is known for her work in exploring the realms of dreams, creativity, and the human psyche. Through her writings and teachings, Toko-pa delves into the significance of dreaming, the healing power of storytelling, and the importance of embracing one's authentic self. She has authored books such as "Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home," and her website serves as a platform where she shares her insights, teachings, and workshops on these topics.
