| Amy "Dreamweaver" Katz |
Amy is founder, director & webmistress of the School of Living Dreams. She has a
Master's of Arts degree and has completed most coursework for her Doctorate in
Communication and Culture. As a clairvoyant healer, dreamtender, wilderness
rites of passage guide, professor of human (& "other-than-human") relations,
professional poet, former actress in film & theatre, photographer of light &
darkness, she dances on the edge of many realities & worlds.
Amy has studied nature awareness & Native American shamanism extensively
with Tom Brown Jr.; Celtic shamanism & mythology with Tom Cowan; eco-therapy,
vision quest guiding & soulcraft with Bill Plotkin & the guides at Animas Valley
Institute; rites of passage with Emerald North & Angelo LaZenka of The School of
Lost Borders. Other teachers include his Holiness the Dali Lama, "Council Mystic"
Gigi Coyle, Kabalistic Rabbi Godaliah of Tsfat, medical intuitive Caroline Myss,
and Alaska's own Kundalini/White Tantra master Nirvair Singh, and Shifu Pei
(Warren Pretlow), master of Taoism & Oriental Healing. She is an active member
of the Wilderness Guides Council.
Amy has plunged ever deeper in studies of soul, myth and magic by studying
Jungian psychotherapy and process work in depth psychology. In 2005 she
attended a 6th month clincial training program in Dreamwork called
"Dreamtending" with Dr. Aizenstat, President of Pacifica Graduate Institute, and
studied "embodied dreamwork" with Robert Bosnak, a Zurick trained Jungian
Analyst and dream veteran for 35 years. She also attended intensive workshops
with Amy and Arnold Mindell -- the renowned Jungian trained analyst, world
work/conflict resolution expert and founder of the Portland based Process Training
Institute. All three methods allow for dream-re-entry and blend psychoanalytic
methods with traditional shamanic wisdom. Amy incorporates all these methods
into her psychic reading sessions and vision quest guiding.
For the last 15 years, Amy has been designing and teaching communication
courses for universities and corporations, nationally & internationally. A"wandering
taoist", she has lived in Hong Kong, Korea, Israel, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia,
Hungary, Germany & USA. Her community service/healing work has included
helping Vietnamese & Ethiopian refugees, disadvantaged children at Mother
Theresa's orphanage in India, suicidal crisis callers in rural America, abused
woman in Hungary & Bosnia, & people everywhere suffering from drug addictions,
depression & feelings of hopelessness.
Now Amy resides in Santa Barbara Ca, not far from her twin sister, psychic and
book author Debra Katz. She lives with her love, Eric Lauderdale, a master
guitar-maker. She offers eco-spiritual counseling sessions that integrate
dreamtending with clairvoyance, zen tarot, depth psychology & process work. She
leads workshops, vision quests & dreamgroups here & across the country. She is
also a Holistic Realtor, with RE/MAX of Santa Barbara/Montecito, helping people
follow their dreams in very practical ways. Amy still spends several months each
year in Alaska, communing with grizzly bears and eagles, teaching for the
University of Alaska & guiding wilderness rites of passage.
Connecting deeply with other people & all that is natural; celebrating life within &
without; Speaking her own truth and listening deeply to the truth that is crying out to
be heard in others; weaving dreams & teaching others how to weave their own for
the betterment of Self and Community: this is what motivated Amy to create The
School of Living Dreams.
