Neptune’s Dream Lab:
An Online Odyssey of Embodied Astrology and Creative Dreamwork for Artists and Visionaries
Neptune’s Dream Lab is a two part creative incubator and dream laboratory inspired by Neptune and Saturn’s co-presence in Pisces. Within the vessel of this exploratory and adventurous work, Nico Wolf and Elena Greenlee will guide you on a journey through the primordial waters of dreaming, group ritual and personal practice dedicated to the dissolution of our creative blocks and recalibration of our creative bodies.
This container is appropriate for all who are yearning to deepen and nurture their connection with the vital life force and culture-shifting power found in creativity, imagination, and inspiration. Our journey together will encourage creative works based on our explorations and include a virtual multimedia gallery to share these expressions of all kinds (visual, spoken, written, movement etc.) within our group as well as a curated final show open to the public.
“Neptune is associated with the transcendent, spiritual, ideal, symbolic, and imaginative dimensions of life; with the subtle, formless, intangible, and invisible; with the unitive, timeless, immaterial, and infinite; with all that which transcends the limited literal temporal and material world of concretely empirical reality: myth and religion, art and inspiration, ideals and aspirations, images and reflections, symbols and metaphors, dreams and visions, mysticism, religious devotion, universal compassion…with tendencies towards illusion and delusion, deception and self-deception, escapism, intoxication, psychosis, perceptual and cognitive distortions, conflation and confusion, projection, fantasy; with the bedazzlement of consciousness whether by gods, archetypes, beliefs, dreams, ideals, or ideologies; with enchantment, in both positive and negative senses.”
~Richard Tarnas, Cosmos and Psyche
Through this odyssey we will explore:
Rewilding your relationship to Dream
Embodying the astrological blueprint of your creativity
Liberating authentic impulse to dissolve creative blocks
Unleashing ecstatic inspiration within your creative practice
Making space for grief and joy in your life’s work
Harnessing self expression as a tool of belonging to the collective
and seeding creative vision for cultural change
You will learn the creative dreaming practices of Dream Seeding, Dream Tracking, Dream Reflection, Dream Re-entry and Dream Weaving. You will explore, in depth, the creative impulse as it is expressed in your astrological chart through the placement of Neptune by birth and transit and the signature of your 5th house of creative joy.
Each week, you will be guided to hold intentional space for the multiplicitous nature of your creativity in both group and independent work. Through live ritual, you will be held in a container of reverence for the collective dream, harnessing the power of community to track alchemical shifts in your embodied experience, emergent creative identity, and refined sense of purpose and belonging.

School of Liminal Arts…
“Art and magic are closely allied. The power to make something out of nothing, to create worlds from the illusive stuff of the imagination, is an act which – even to those who regularly engage upon it – partakes of a numinous element.”
~Liz Greene, The Astrological Neptune

About the astrology we’ll be navigating:
Neptune currently teeters at the final degree of Pisces – a transit that began in 2011 and will conclude at the close of 2025, never to return in our lifetimes. Pisces is an archetypal energy associated with moving water, water that changes form and state – this is the primordial water that binds all life through its never ending cycles. These are the waters of the collective unconscious as Jung called it, the waters of all possibility, the fluid state of the dreamworld, the ever regenerative source of creativity.
These years of the planet of dissolution traveling the watery temple of changing tides has been a time of so much erosion of what we previously held to be a shared moral ground. It has been a time of so much hope and inspiration around a possible spiritual awakening for humanity through ever increasing awareness of our interconnectivity. It has been a time of great confusion around our sense of reality as well as a time of embodying imagination and living into dreams that previously were relegated to the realm of impossibility.
For the final three years of Neptune’s transit here, the planet Saturn (Saturn being the bringer of form and structure and limits) is cohabiting the waters of Pisces.This brings material consequence to our shifting ideals, and allows us to see the shapes our collective (conscious and unconscious) imaginings are imposing upon our shared reality.
As artists and visionaries, when we seek the realization of our creative impulse, when we find forms to transmit our enchanted experience of imagination and inspiration, we are harnessing the archetypes of Neptune and Saturn in union. We are maturing (Saturn) our relationship to our dreams (Neptune), we are practicing discernment (Saturn) in the fog of illusion (Neptune), and giving form (Saturn) to the infinite (Neptune). With fluid (Neptune) discipline (Saturn) we engage in practices to sustain this state of porosity and communion with the wilds of our creative landscape, while remaining grounded and guided by a sense of purpose and right relationship.
So let us devote ourselves deeply to the new form that our creative process and vision is seeking to express through us. Let's open our awareness of the transformation that our creative bodies are undergoing in Neptune’s laboratory and become conscious co-creators of the paths our visions are dancing us down. Let us walk together the tightrope of discipline and surrender and become more masterful and artful in our liminality.
