Episode 72: Our Dreams Are Our Teachers
Description:
At the young age of 74, Pearl Gregor is an example of what it means to be curious and invested in personal and spiritual growth. Pearl joins the Inner Circle to share her wisdom as an educator, Catholic, and proponent of using meditation and mindfulness as a tool to heal our wounds and clear the way so we can connect with our highest self. Pearl shares how she healed her own depression by tracking and understanding her dreams, ways that we can begin to catalog and write down our dreams, and some of the experiences she has had while on this path. Pearl closes the show by giving guidance as to where we can begin in our own journey and insight into what happens at her workshops for those looking to get personal coaching to be their own guru.
