Your clients' dreams
hold the insight they need.
What's the cost of not accessing it?
This masterclass will enable you to bring dreamwork into the coaching process - elegantly, ethically, and effectively - helping your clients access to their "back office" to make decisions, source new ideas, tell a better story, and expand their vision.
And giving you a new level of coaching mastery.
The Value of Dreamwork
Maybe you know that you're leaving the unconscious--the greatest source of wisdom for your clients--on the table. Maybe you've tried to access this wisdom through various "exercises".
Once you know how to work directly with dreams, you can help your clients source accurate information from within ... dramatically accelerating and adding depth to their coaching journey with you.
You can help your clients:
• Focus on what’s ready to shift now
• Surface unconscious patterns, beliefs, and metaphors
• Connect easily with emotions and the body
• Integrate the meaning of traumatic experience
• Discover new ideas and creative solutions
• Access their creative, poetic imagination
• Restore meaning and purpose
You can help your leadership clients:
• Unpack challenging relationships and team dynamics
• Own their 'stuff'
• Regulate health and wellbeing
• Find new paths through complex decisions
• Clarify their true vision
• Tell stories with impact
• Lead with authenticity and inner knowing
Dreamwork also helps you, as a coach:
• Understand how a client sees you
• Notice your projections
• Find your blind spots
• Calibrate and pace the coaching process
• Approach sensitive topics with greater ease

Martin Boroson
After earning a B.A. in Philosophy and an M.B.A. from Yale in 1988, I realized that traditional business tools—strategic, analytic, linear—were incomplete. While many peers pursued Wall Street, I turned toward psychology, the arts, and global wisdom traditions to explore more holistic paths to transformation.
I studied expanded states of consciousness with Dr. Stanislav Grof and co-facilitated over 10,000 breathwork and bodywork sessions, helping people heal trauma and unlock creativity. Dreams became central to my therapeutic work, revealing the deep intelligence of the unconscious.
A major grant from the Irish Arts Council fueled my research into theatre’s roots—shamanism, ritual, and archetypes—including a five-year project with Kyoto Performing Arts Centre blending Western and Japanese traditions inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s work.
In 2000, I authored Becoming Me, a contemporary spiritual philosophy, followed by One-Moment Meditation®, a widely adopted micro-practice shown to reduce stress by 33%. My brain-based coaching training comes from the NeuroLeadership Institute.
Today, I serve as a faculty member at Mobius Executive Leadership and lead the One Moment Company, guiding leaders to reimagine their relationship with time. I'm also a Zen priest in the Hollow Bones Rinzai lineage.
Now, I'm bringing this lifetime of experience to a course for coaches—unlocking the power of dreams to deepen insight, spark transformation, and reconnect clients with meaning.
Dreamwork helps you access the wisdom your clients don’t yet know they have.
Unlock deeper insight, faster breakthroughs, and more meaningful transformation.
FAQs
What if I don’t remember my dreams?
You can still participate. This process often may even reignite your dream life.
Will I get to have a dream explored in the group??
Yes, at least once. When you’re ready.
Will sessions be recorded?
Teaching will be recorded. Dreamwork will only be recorded with the dreamer’s consent..
Is this dream interpretation?
No. We don’t impose meaning, nor do we play 'expert'. Instead, we stay curious, trusting the wisdom of “not-knowing,” honouring that the unconscious knows far more than we do.
What’s the model?
This is a Jungian-based model, enhanced by Zen, mindfulness, and the work of Joseph Campbell, Robert Johnson, Eugene Gendlin, and Stan Grof. You’ll learn to follow the dream without forcing meaning—helping clients to their own truth, while also bowing to the wisdom being revealed.
Is doing dreamwork in a group unusual?
Yes, but powerfully effective. Over years of development, I’ve seen the group’s feedback, resonance, insight, and life stories—offered humbly— reveal archetypal patterns and deepen each dreamer’s understanding. The process fosters rare intimacy and respect, as we appreciate the subtle, astonishing metaphors and symbols within each of us.
What if my dreams seem ordinary?
No dream is ordinary. Look again—what seems mundane at first often contains surprising
weirdness, which are the door to insight. As Jung said, every dream contains something you don’t yet know—it always moves you forward.
