Intuitive Dreamwork Sessions
Our dreams are a place to touch our own deep inner terrain, our wider selves, and the secret wishes of our soul.
Working with dreams can strengthen our intuition, connect us to our ancestors, and give guidance on life’s most challenging choices.
We need our dreams to guide and support us to meet the new realities unfolding in our world every day, and to bring a sparkle of magic and meaning to our lives.
An Intuitive Dream Session is an opportunity to explore the messages your dreams are sending you. Working with dreams in this way can support you through creative blocks, personal struggles, and help you build an intuitive bridge to the deeper parts of yourself. Please reach out if you would like to explore your dreams with me in an Intuitive Dream Session.
“I've recorded my dreams every day for over 30 years, and have spent thousands of hours in my waking life mining them for inspiration and revelation. A few months ago, I had a series of dreams whose messages eluded me. I reached out to Tenaya for help. She was brilliant! With her expert and graceful guidance and insight, I was able to get to the root of the dreams' meanings—which in turn empowered me to make a major decision about my life.”
~Rob Brezsny, Free Will Astrology
Dreams can exhilarate, confuse or inspire~ Sometimes a "big" dream can change the course of our life, or illuminate a path not yet taken. In a one-on-one session, I will guide you to uncover the messages your dreams are sending you.
Scary or recurring dreams often hold a strong charge for a reason~ There is something desperately trying to get through to you, or a piece of yourself may have become fragmented through trauma or just the day-to-day losses we all face.
An Intuitive Dream Session will show you how to welcome back and integrate these lost parts of yourself. Working with dreams can support you through creative blocks, personal struggles, and help you build a bridge to the deeper parts of yourself.

This is a way to further explore a powerful dream, gather more information, dialog with dream characters, and recover lost parts of yourself in a gentle and natural way, through the portal of your dream.
Our dreams speak in symbols unique to us, and can offer insightful reflections on all sorts of life circumstances including:
Relationships
Work/career
Life path
Important choices
Creativity

What clients are saying about Intuitive Dream Sessions:
"As someone who has never considered the value of her own dreams, I didn't know what to expect, and I was a little nervous to look at what my dreams were telling me. Tenaya not only helped me to understand how to review and examine each part of my dream, but she did so in a way that allowed the dream to reveal it's true message. The most profound thing is to dive into an unsettling dream and find a message of strength and empowerment behind it. It's a deeply personal process and I can't imagine a more gentle, intuitive, trustworthy and skillful guide. I see dreams now as a door into my true thoughts, and a tool for understanding myself better. I'm so grateful to Tenaya for showing me how to engage with my dreams in this new way."

“When I entered Tenaya’s space, the sense of magic was palpable. I felt held in that magic - as well as in the tremendous transition of this time of my life. It was as if the veils between the worlds slipped away - and the unseen presence became instantly more clear. I was guided deeper into the truth of my own being - and the mystery of my life. Tenaya was present with me, my life, and my dreams with genuine, heartfelt care - as well as expert insight. I felt safe to express my deepest feelings, and I felt seen with uncommon depth. I left feeling soft, strong, and open - filled with a sense of the wonder and majesty of what’s before me~ the sparkling wonder of the worlds of our dreams. Tenaya is a natural at offering access to this space. Join her for a dream journey; enter that oasis and be refreshed in ways you didn’t even know you were seeking.”

About Me
My name, Tenaya, means “One who dreams" or "dreamer of wisdom" in the Ahwahnechee language of the people people who traditionally lived in the Yosemite Valley and still live in surrounding area, and it has always felt like my calling. My parents chose this name for me, and they nurtured my interest in dreams and art since I was a little girl.
For the past decade I have guided hundreds of students & clients through the inner realms of dreaming through Intuitive Dreaming classes, workshops and private sessions.
In 2018, I taught 2 workshops at Spirit Weavers Gathering: “Dreaming with the Ancestors” & “The Art of Kairomancy, Guiding Life by Synchronicity and Dreams.
I studied dream work in depth with Robert Moss, author and creator of Active Dreaming, and completed his three-year Dream Teacher Training Program.

The Way of the Dreamer Radio Show with Robert Moss 3/2017
Here’s a wonderful conversation on the Way of the Dreamer radio show with dream teacher and the creator of Active Dreaming, Robert Moss. We talked at length about a series of dreams I had over the last two years about my ancestors from Poland, Serbia and Montenegro. The dreams led me on a path of symbols and memories that I explored in a painting I created called The Amber Road. You can listen to my conversation with Robert Moss below.
“Thank you for the wonderful dream session; starting with the breath for grounding, right through to writing an action plan. Your guided explorations into those dark and hidden corners of my dream was inspirational. As was the way you navigated my dream scape with sensitive and insightful questions and comments. I so much appreciated the way you held a secure space without restrictions – I could talk to you about anything. This was a truly amazing session with one who guides with wisdom. Thank you Tenaya!”
~Skai Fowler
"Before my dream session I didn't quite know what dream to share. My fear was that my dream was not relevant. Well that dream unpacked so much amazing information for me. Tenaya's approach was professional, gentle, and very knowledgeable.
I cannot thank Tenaya enough for helping me to better understand the beautiful messages and symbols from my dream. I feel that I'm taking actions forward into my life that are new and powerful.
If you have always wondered what your dreams were about and if there were different layers of meaning in your dreams, I would highly suggest that you book a session with Tenaya to better understand the magical information that your soul is trying to give you."
~J. Byer
"I walked away from Tenaya's Dreaming for a Word of Power workshop feeling inspired to listen more deeply to the messages in my dreams and to honor my intuitive understanding of these messages. Tenaya speaks from years of experience and it shows. She doesn't push one way of seeing things but guides and suggests ideas that are grounded and useful. I had a few eye opening moments that left me with a whole new perspective. The class was fun! I felt safe, and I learned a simple method to apply to any dream that is easy to remember. I'll be back for more!"
~E.S.
“Tenaya is exquisitely skilled in her ability to create, hold, and tend to a space for dreamwork. Each month Tenaya guided the Dream Salon with song and the rhythm of our hearts to a safe space where each person was enabled to be heard and appreciated. She effectively mediated conversation flow and balanced activities for the well-being of the group. Tenaya led by example and welcomed us to experience her dreams with her via art, music, storytelling, and movement.
I feel that Tenaya prioritizes being sensitive and kind to her heart and it shines bright through her transparency of her own journeying and through her teaching. I appreciate this in her and feel grateful for having experienced this dreamwork within her Dream Salon.”
~Hannah W.
"My first private dream session with Tenaya Amelia was wonderful. I felt so taken care of from the moment I walked into her lovely office space to the moment I departed. Her kindness and gentle loving presence invite an immediate feeling of safety and therefore ease in opening the heart and mind. I felt comfortable to explore my dream and any feelings that arose during my journey. Tenaya is very attentive, astute and insightful. She helped me to see how my dream was telling me things about my current life that I might not have noticed or fully acknowledged on my own. The session has stayed with me, and since then I have been more curious about my dreams and taken them more seriously. I look forward to future sessions in which Tenaya’s support and guidance will help reveal more of my inner life to me."
~Isa Susan Efros
"The workshop was inspiring~ It felt warm and safe.....you set a wonderful mood, connecting us through drumming, and the right mix of laughter, fun, contemplation and artistic work. Very balanced. You are a natural dream teacher, a woman on her path, shining..... Caring, thoughtful, intuitive. What a beautiful day, the tea, the friends, the care for every last detail....so perfectly planned and laid out."
~Melinda
"Tenaya has the rare gift of making you feel instantly at ease in her presence with her grace, compassion, and warmth. Her knowledge and intuition makes her dreamwork incredibly powerful. Under her guidance, I found myself making new and helpful connections between my dreams and everyday life. Thanks to her insights, I now have a new framework to utilize when I want to bridge inspiration and intuition in my life."
~Jaycee C.
“Tenaya's workshop, "The Art of Kairomancy," was the highlight of my weekend at Spirit Weavers! She created a warm, inviting space in which I could connect with other dreamers and explore the magic of being alive. The workshop was a great mix of dream theory, storytelling, meditation, and tips for how to practice the art of Kairomancy in our day to day lives. Since the workshop, I am titling my dreams as I journal about them each day, and have done the Lightning Dreamwork exercise with my partner multiple times. It feels like my dream life has been reinvigorated, and I have the oracle card I drew in the workshop up on my altar. I highly recommend Tenaya and her workshops to others.”
~Meagan Leatherman
“I want to thank you for a fascinating breakdown of my very complex dream. You asked the best questions that stirred my own answers, and also offered reflections of things that were so resonant, but out of my reach. Also, you didn’t seem intimidated by the length, numerous symbols and twists and turns of my dream—which helped me not to be overwhelmed by it either. You’re a dream-master.
If one dream holds all that juice—I can only imagine that I have a bible of dreams within me. How delightful to think that each of us have this capacity—if we hone in our skills and get support from you, the dream-speaker. Definitely want to do a dream session with you again…”
