Travis Wernet

Travis helps to reveal vital portals for opening to the meeting place where sound and vital practices enrich our understanding of dreams and how to live them in our waking lives, honoring rich disciplines that serve individual and collective wholeness and soul.

He has embarked upon international travels co-leading sound healing and dream ceremonies around the world in the following areas:

• the Baha’i Lotus Temple, Northern India
• the Great Pyramids in Egypt
• the Coastal towns of Eastern Australia

His specialty is a unique offering of musical dream incubation, as a compliment to shamanic and projective-style dream work and breath work.  Sound Healing techniques are applied to the work with dreams, providing a rich opportunity to experience and share the Deep Self with oneself and the community. Travis has facilitated groups and worked with dreamers for 20 years, bringing a mythological-archetypal-poetic perspective to this playful, life-changing, soulful and important work. Working with the breath is a vital way of working with the dreams and energies that exist in the body and the soul, inviting spirit to the table of our healing practices – working with the “dreambody”.

Travis is a Certified Projective Dream Teacher, Breath Worker, Author, Musician and ordained Universal Life Minister. His work draws on a diversity of practices for exploring the wisdom of dreams and the vitality of Life as well as the wisdom to be found in learning about and honoring Death and Dying. In 2012 and 2014, he led workshops on Sound Healing and Dream Work at the International Association for the Study of Dreams Conference in Berkeley, California.

He received his certification from the Marin Institute of Projective Dream Work.
