In that process Chief Lane will also share some other Dakota experiences and perspectives that further deepen and expand Dr. Jung’s work.

Classes and other events in the area
Connecting to Your Inner World Through Drumming: This class offers an experiential journey towards discovery of archetypal energies deep within the psyche. Duriye will lead the group into the psychic realm through the medium of drumming. You may bring your own drum or use her percussion instruments. The approach engages each participant in a drumming process to contrast on an experiential level conditioned patterns with one’s authentic self. The process of drumming is used to connect with emotional unfinished business and its energetic manifestations as well as to move and transform the energy and create new and healthier patterns.
