Submit Your Workshop Proposal for the 2026 Haden Institute Summer Dream and Spirituality Conference

The 2026 Summer Dream and Spirituality Conference, Cosmic Community, Sacred Hope, calls us out of our doom scrolling and into Haden’s enriching, co-creative circle. How tragically ironic that human society has never been more plugged in, yet fearful and fractured. This year’s conference will focus on natural inter-connectedness of all, with a particular focus on unitive experience even (and possibly especially) in the darkest, most divisive of human times.

We are seeking workshop proposals connected in some way to our theme and/or dream work. Please fill out the form below and submit if you have an idea for consideration.

Only the submissions of those registered for the conference will be considered.

Here are the scheduled keynote presenters and their titles:

Gareth Higgins (Topic: How Not to Be Afraid )

Leigh Ann Henion (Topic: Darkness as an Awe-Inspiring Place of Possibilities)

Dr. Fanny Brewster (Topic: Archetypal Grief)

Jerry Wright, D.Min. (Topic: Welcoming Our Gods Back Home: The Wisdom of Psychological Mysticism)

Bob Hoss (Topic: Communal Collaborative Dreaming )

Tony Caldwell (Topic: Community Collaboration in Dark Times)

Mary Ellen Lough (Topic: Imagination as Social Commons)

Howard Addison (Topic: Dreaming in Troubled, Hopeful Times)

The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2026, with decisions to follow two weeks later. We look forward to hearing from you!

Corey S. Keyes

Director
