Occasionally, as indicated by my dreams, I present aspects of my research. Those are listed below. The presentations made at these talks are included in Papers.
I will be discussing my research into the realisation of the soul through the natural cycle. I will be specifically reporting on the significance and function of dreams over the Winter festival and including specific guidance that previous winters have provided.
“Emma describes herself as a student of the natural order and she describes the phases of the year and the role of the winter solstice within that pattern -philosophically, psychologically and practically.”
Non-BPS members are invited to register/attend.
“This presentation is my report from the trenches of a longitudinal, immersive inquiry into the dynamics of self/soul realisation in the post-modern context. Over twenty years I have been instructed by my dreams in all aspects of my inquiry. This has led to a paradigm shift restoring the Dream as the authority for my research process – and my life. During the last ten years, following dream instructions closely, I have begun to report back on what I have been shown. This will be my first public account.
Dr. Emma Thérèse Lewis is an experienced psychotherapist and research psychologist who encourages the detailed contemplation and consideration of all experiences and dreams.”

Over time, as the various psychological models of development have revealed their limitations to my mind, I have been shown the superior power of dreams in addressing issues of maturation or development in individuals and in groups. Through dreams I have been encouraged to observe life ever more closely, to increasingly align to its benign, restorative forces and to thoroughly explore the obstacles encountered in that process.
Further to my own inquiry, I sometimes facilitate dream groups to enable others to witness and experience for themselves the power of dreams in the restorative process.
