🔄 8 Sessions in total (4 months)
You’re meant for something bigger than you’ve allowed yourself to become.
You’ve already been walking a path that tested you, that scarred you, and that surprised you.
You’ve made enormous choices and small ones. You’ve already had more breakthroughs than you can count.
And still underneath it all, in the middle of a traffic jam, or when you’re pouring your coffee, there’s the question — almost without words. More like a barely-there ache in your chest:
The world is on fire, and I know the best thing I can do is amplify my own light… but what if I don’t know what that means?
Why Dreams?
Our dreams come from the edge between the unconscious and the conscious mind.
At that edge, the ego usually stands guard — keeping out anything that might disturb the status quo.
But during dream-time, the ego takes a gentle doze.
And in that opening, something slips through.
Archetypal, symbolic images. Encoded in a language most of humanity has forgotten — but one that lives in our DNA, in our very bones.
Our ancestors knew this. They consulted their dreams before they consulted their logical minds.
Dreams show you both your traumas and your gifts.
They show you what you couldn’t possibly get from journaling or from books.
They show you what needs your attention right now — and while that includes the shadows you haven’t yet integrated, it also includes glimmers and hints of the You that you were meant to be in this lifetime.
And more than that — dreams are not passive.
They respond to your intentions.
You can develop a relationship with your dreams, ask them specific questions, receive direct guidance about decisions, about your path, about the biggest questions you’ve ever carried.
I once asked my dreams: “What is the nature of the soul?” What came back was one of the most profound lucid dreams of my life (ask me about it in class!)
Your dreams are oracles. And they are already trying to reach you.
In Awake Dreaming you will connect with their ancient language.
You will remember it.
What Actually Happens Inside Awake Dreaming
In this 4-month group immersion, we clear the path towards the Real You that's been waiting for you.
Something will break through in your life that you didn’t come here expecting.
A choice you couldn’t have made before.
An opportunity that arrives as if from nowhere.
A breakthrough that makes you look back and trace exactly how it happened — through a dream, through a journey, through a moment in this circle where something in you finally gave way.
You weren’t coming for that. And yet.
The container that makes this possible is built from several interwoven practices — each one a different way of reaching the same place: the You that has been waiting underneath everything.
Dreams are the central thread.
If you struggle to remember them, you will learn how.
You’ll learn to decode your own symbolic language, bring your dreams into the circle to be witnessed and worked, and develop a living relationship with your unconscious that will guide you for the rest of your life.
Shamanic Journeying takes you deeper than the dream state — into direct encounter with your guides, your wounds, and your gifts.
Two full guided journeys will take you all the way in.
Neuro-Art is the practice that surprises people most.
Gentle, almost meditative — and yet it reaches places that talking never can.
It expands your nervous system’s capacity to hold more of who you actually are. People have called it miraculous — and I don’t disagree, because I’ve experienced the miracles myself and have seen them in my clients and friends.
Shadow Integration is not about naming your darkness.
It’s about meeting it — and seeing the gold underneath.
The parts of you that have been running the show from underneath will finally have somewhere to go.
Your Divine Threads — the soul-level desires beneath your life goals — will become clear.
Not as concepts. As felt truth in your body. Once you identify them, the rest of your life becomes in service of your Higher Self.
Your Living Codex — your Higher Self’s mission statement in your own symbols, your own language.
This Sacred document will become something you actually inhabit rather than something you wrote down once and forgot.
Sacred Community — a living field of fellow seekers holding and amplifying each other's expansion, both during and in between sessions.
What I See for You
After our final gathering, you’ll close your laptop and sit for a moment.
Something will have shifted — not just in what you know, but in how you move. In what you reach for in the morning.
In what you’re no longer willing to keep waiting for.
You’ll have received guidance from your dreams that caused you to make real choices — tangible, embodied ones that changed your trajectory in ways you couldn’t have engineered from your thinking mind alone.
You’ll love your dreams now. You’ll get excited when you receive one. You’ll go to your journal before you go to the coffee maker.
You'll know — from direct experience — that your true intention actually works. That when you enter a practice, a dream, a journey with genuine presence and purpose, something real responds.
You’ll see synchronicities everywhere — things showing up that you’ve only dreamed about. (Pun fully intended!)
You'll feel what it means to hold more of your Spirit in your embodied existence. More of who you actually are will be present in your life — not waiting somewhere just out of reach, but here, anchored, alive in you.
You’ll know your Divine Threads — those soul-level desires and callings that were always underneath everything — and you’ll feel them in your bones, not just understand them in your head.
You won’t feel like your depth is a curse anymore.
You’ll have learned to see it as the gift it always was — and it will be taking you further than you’ve ever let it go before.
You'll know how to work with your own dreams for the rest of your life — as oracles, as guides, as the living intelligence of your unconscious speaking directly to you.
And may have even found a true friend (or 2 or 3!) here. Someone who went all the way in alongside you. Soul-aligned friendships forged in the kind of container that makes them real.
And you will have been deeply seen, held, and loved by a sacred circle of fellow travelers who did this courageous thing alongside you.
This is what four months of Awake Dreaming actually does.

Who Is Awake Dreaming For?
You have done real work on yourself. Not dabbling — real work.
Therapy, ceremony, trainings, books, years of genuine seeking.
You have changed because of it.
And that change has cost you something — because the more awake you become, the harder it is to find people who understand what you’re carrying.
You might be someone whose spiritual gifts have been sitting on the back burner — quietly waiting while real life filled every available hour.
You know they’re there. Sometimes they knock.
You might be someone already doing soulful work in the world — coaching, teaching, healing. Dreams might have never been part of your practice, or they might have been peripheral.
But something in you is recognizing, right now, that they could be deeper allies.
And... that they could change everything about how you work with yourself and others.
You might be someone with a vivid, powerful inner life that has sometimes felt more like a burden than a gift.
Depth that separates rather than connects. (Boy, do I know what that's like!)
Knowing things you can’t always explain, or say out loud.
Or you might simply be someone who has had the quiet, persistent sense — in the middle of traffic, or while pouring your coffee — that you are meant for something bigger than you’ve let yourself become.
And who is finally ready to find out what that is.
What you all share: you are not a beginner.
You are someone who has arrived at the edge of what your existing tools can reach — and who is ready for a different kind of container entirely.
This is Not For You If:
-
You're brand new to inner work and looking for a gentle introduction or simple tools. This immersion goes deep — and it asks for your full presence from the very first session.
-
You're not yet ready to meet your shadows honestly. We will meet them with love — but we will meet them for real.
-
You're looking for something you can consume passively, at a distance. This is a living, breathing container that asks for your active participation between sessions as well as within them.
-
You can't yet commit to showing up for all 8 sessions. The arc is intentional — each session feeds the next, and your presence matters to the group field as much as to your own process. (There will be replays for the occasional unexpected emergency.)
-
And if what you're seeking is guaranteed comfort — this isn't that. I promise you transformation. Those are not always the same thing.
Meet Your Guide: Vanessa Hannah Bright
I’m not interested in more tools for their own sake.
I’m not interested in spiritual bypassing, in staying comfortable, or in the kind of healing that looks good but doesn’t actually change anything.
I’ve spent years — first as an acupuncturist, then as a licensed psychotherapist, and now as the guide I was always meant to become — learning the difference between work that transforms and work that merely informs.
That difference tormented me until I finally changed everything about how I practice.
What I know now is this: real transformation happens in the body, in the soul, in the places beneath words. And it requires someone willing to go there with you — not just point you toward the door.
I walk this path myself. Every practice I offer I have lived. Every dark place I will hold space for in this circle, I have sat in myself.
If you are ready to meet yourself — your shadow and your gold, your wounds and your gifts — I will love you deeply through every moment of it.
That is not a promise I make lightly.
That is what I’m here for.
A Personal Note from Vanessa
When I look over my life, I realize that everything worth doing felt terrifying at first.
Every single thing that ended up changing my life in pivotal ways was first met with "GAH — is it really worth it?" or "Maybe I'll do this someday."
But deep personal work — and plant medicines too — have taught me something I now carry as one of my core truths:
"You can do it now, or you can do it later, but you have to do it."
When it comes to facing our deepest truths, we don't actually get to skip them. We only get to choose when.
And we make the biggest mistake when we forget that time is our most precious resource.
The version of you that is fully inhabited, fully expressed, living the life that dreamed you first — that person is not a fantasy. They are waiting.
If not now, when?
With love and devotion, Vanessa 🦋
One terrifying thing I did. I had been playing guitar for 6 months when a sacred sister asked me to play at her plant medicine ceremony. I played one song and almost bailed. But then I heard "you can do it now or you can do it later" in my mind. And I played.
Proof of What is Possible -
Voices from Fellow Journeyers
"One of the most profound gifts Vanessa has shared with me is her knowledge of Shamanic Dream Analysis through her course. This ancient practice, rooted in indigenous cultures, offers a framework for understanding the symbols and messages that arise in our dreams. Vanessa introduced me to the idea that dreams are not mere figments of our imagination but powerful tools for self -discovery and healing.
Through our discussions, I began to see my dreams in a new light. Vanessa encouraged me to keep a dream journal, prompting me to record my nightly visions and reflect on their meanings. With her guidance, I learned to decode the symbols that appeared in my dreams—animals, landscapes, and even emotions—each carrying a message from my subconscious. This practice not only deepened my understanding of myself but also illuminated the paths I could take toward personal growth." ~ Jessica B., Reiki Practitioner
"I’ve had the great fortune to meet Vanessa on her journey, our journey...
From our first meeting with the great mother, Pachamama, I witnessed her blossom into her calling. I’m so excited to witness this miracle of love and sharing and light.
Vanessa has dedicate herself to learning so that she may teach, healing so that she may heal. Dream work is one of many gifts that Vanessa has to share. And while I still struggle to recall my dreams, when they do manifest I am able to harken back to the lessons Vanessa brought to me, so that I may understand.
My journey is just beginning, and I am blessed to have a friend and guide in Vanessa,
Whose wisdom and love shine through in her work and the vibrations of love brings me comfort and strength." ~ Elizabeth B.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior experience with dreamwork or shamanic journeying?
Not at all. Whether you are brand new to these practices or have been working with them for years, this immersion will meet you exactly where you are. All you need is curiosity, openness, and a willingness to go deep.
What if I can't remember my dreams?
This is more common than you think — and it changes quickly once you set the intention. Part of our very first session is dedicated to establishing a dream practice that works for you. By the time we are a few weeks in, your dreams will be speaking to you more clearly than you imagined possible.
What if I miss a session?
Life happens. Sessions will be recorded so you never lose the material. That said, this is a living container and your presence matters — to the group field as much as to your own process. I ask for your commitment to show up as fully as possible.
How does being in a group affect the depth of the work?
Profoundly — and in the best way. There is something that becomes possible in a sacred circle that cannot happen alone. The group field amplifies everything. You will be seen, held, and witnessed by fellow travelers who are doing the same courageous work — and that changes what becomes available to you.
Is this therapy?
This is not therapy and is not a substitute for mental health treatment. It is sacred transformational work that operates at the level of the soul, the unconscious, and the body. Many therapists and mental health practitioners find this work deeply complementary to their existing practice — and are welcome here.
What do I need to participate?
A reliable internet connection, Zoom, quiet space where you will not be disturbed during our sessions, a journal dedicated to this journey, and your whole self.
That's it.
What if I'm on the fence?
I encourage you to explore that feeling. Does this feel wrong for you, or is fear at the wheel? Are you missing some key detail that would make this clear for you?
The fact that you're still reading means something in you already knows. If you have specific questions I haven't answered here, reach out directly — I'd love to talk with you. Feel free to book a free Resonance Call from my Contact page. 🌙
