Community Building

I alone can become myself, I cannot become myself alone.

J. Pittman McGehee

At Haden we believe we all need community and relationships to become fully who we are created to be. One of the most common things we hear from our participants is the feeling of belonging they have as part of the Haden community. We find that sense of belonging as we form relationships with others on the same journey, working towards the same goals of wholehearted living and psycho-spiritual maturity. We listen to each other’s dreams and discover that anyone’s dream can be everyone’s dream if we work to discover wisdom for ourselves. We listen to each other’s stories and find common themes to remind us of archetypal stories that are universal. Here are some ways to step into or deepen a connection with the Haden community:

Getting to Know Us

If you are just getting to know about Haden one of the best ways to engage is by attending the Summer Dream and Spirituality Conference. You will experience much of what we offer through keynote lectures, workshops, creative spaces, and daily dream groups.

You can also experience spiritual direction and dream work using Haden methods by engaging one of the practitioners listed in the Directory.

Certification Courses

As certification course participant bonds are formed with the group mentor, the group members, members of other cohorts and the larger Haden faculty and staff community. Journeying with a cohort for almost two years as you pursue similar goals and engage with the same materials provides a connection that lasts well beyond your time in the course.

Post Graduate Opportunities

After course completion Haden invites your continued connection by offering you to be a part of the practitioner Directory, offering services to other seekers. 

Graduates are invited to attend future intensives at Kanuga if there are new presenters or lectures that you would like to hear. Your time during the weekend is self-directed, and participation in all the large group activities is welcomed. 

Many Haden alumni offer continuing education programs on topics like supervision, peer group support and gaining confidence as a practitioner. We provide information and invitations about these to our graduates.
