She is an enrolled member of the Shasta Indian Nation of Northern California and an Indigenous psychologist actively working in the field of decolonial Indigenous psychology. She holds a PhD in Depth Psychology, a Masters of Science in Cultural Resource Management, and an advanced certification in Dream Tending with master dreamworker Stephen Aizenstat. Dr. Barbara Bain is considered to be one of the top 40 dreamworkers in the world today.

She offers individual and group dreamwork consultations and workshops, and employs both Jungian and Indigenous approaches to dreamwork. Barbara empowers individuals, organizations, and communities to reconnect with dreaming as a way to restore balance between the sacred and natural worlds, and to access personal calling and life purpose.

In both Indigenous and Western philosophy there exists the idea that we are simultaneously dreaming with our material world and the unconscious. From an Indigenous perspective, the “unconscious” is the sacred world. I take this Indigenous approach to working with individual dreams, group dreaming, and the dreams of organizations. I offer professional individual and group dreamwork, and a social dreamwork process called Community Dream Matrix.

Social and individual dreamwork is an ancient practice. Dream societies across the planet once existed, and what they dreamed were critical to the wellbeing of their peoples. Aligned with this understanding, my work pivots on the idea that dreaming and dreamers continue to hold critical contemporary value and relevance to human life and the wellbeing of earth itself. We are always dreaming, we dream with the world, and with other worlds.
