The dream references in Shakespeare’s plays and poems include prophetic warnings, divine revelations, erotic delights, and magical transformations. Dreams appear in all genres and at all stages of his career, in such classics as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Hamlet along with lesser-known works like Henry VI Part II and Cymbeline. As seen from a dreamer’s perspective, his works express a vibrant yet subtle form of spirituality that respects traditional dream lore, eludes political censure, has roots in the primeval forest, is open to mystery and transcendence, and resonates with audiences from all ranks of society. Join Kelly Bulkeley, a renowned dream scholar, as he explores the capacity of Shakespeare’s plays to stimulate a powerful kind of collective dream experience, one of the reasons they continue to delight us more than four hundred years later.

There is a depth to story that we rarely take time to ponder, let alone to tell and hear. Story is how we transform pain. Story is how we make something useful out of the absurd. Story invites us to step into the reality of another person’s existence and instead of judgment feel kinship. Through his work with The Hearth nonprofit, Yaconelli has served communities across the United States and United Kingdom to bridge divisions, heal trauma, shed light on injustice, and recover hope. In this inspiring and interactive presentation Mark Yaconelli will show how stories can heal our families, our world, ourselves.
