Interactive Workshop: "Waking Up! An Interactive Journey into Dreams, Mind, Death, and the Fate of the Soul"

Description: What do dreams, death, and the fate of the soul have in common? More than you might think. Joseph Grimes takes us on an interactive journey through the nature of dreams and the mind, drawing from Ancient Egypt, the Greeks, Tibetan Dream Yoga, the Bardo Thodol, and Timothy Leary's psychedelic translation of it all. This is an open, participatory exploration designed to shake loose tightly held beliefs and invite genuine curiosity about why we're here and where we're going.

When: Wednesday, August 26, 2026 from 5pm to 9pm (Workshop at 6:30pm)

Where: LoDo Studios, 216 E. Gutierrez Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
