A 4-part course for writers, actors and dreamers ready to take their life and creative work to the next level.
Every night your dreams tell you the story of your life. They speak in symbol, metaphor and imagery and generally employ a 4-5 act structure - just like any well-told story whether fairy tale, TV show or anything in between. Dreams ground you in the now and connect you to your unique soul expression. Working on your dreams helps you understand yourself and makes you a better storyteller. This course will show you how.

“I believe this is the some of the most valuable work I will ever do in my life. Dreamwork is a whole new language with which to understand the world, and yet it was there all along. Louise essentially holds up a mirror for you to see how your dreams and your creative work come alive.”
Bio
Louise is a writer, creative coach and tender of dreams. Originally from a Shakespeare theatre background, she has fifteen years of experience in scripted content development, and works with some of the most prominent storytellers and artists in today’s TV/Film landscape.
Her vast theoretical knowledge of theatre and story combined with a lifetime’s study of mythology and Jungian dreamwork has yielded a powerful, multi-layered approach to coaching and content development, which addresses all levels of artistic creation.
Louise was an Executive Producer of WILL, a dramatic TV series about the life and times of William Shakespeare, which aired on TNT in 2017. She coaches artists individually, teaches Shakespeare for actors and facilitates dream groups for people from all walks of life.
She lives in Santa Monica, CA with her son.
Creative Coaching
Louise helps writers and artists find their deepest, most authentic voice and create the kind of content that has the power to shift the culture.
Coaching programs are generally focused on a specific project. Format and length vary based on individual needs.
Sessions integrate the whole human experience: the physical body, the emotional life, the intellect and dreams to facilitate a deep connection to the imaginal and a greater authenticity in your work.
The byproduct of this — aside from a compelling creative piece — is an enhanced sense of presence, a greater attunement to your body and feelings, and a set of highly specific and personal tools to cope with life’s challenges - whether creative or personal. For more info click here

Dream Tending
Dreams are a direct portal to the Soul. If you take the time to listen to your dreams, you will discover a wellspring of healing, strength and wisdom as well as new, unexpected ways to live in the world.
Tending dreams is a vital component for anybody on a journey of self-discovery. Our dreams show us a snapshot of where our life is at the moment, both personally and as a culture. More importantly, they re-connect us to lost parts of ourselves, and point a unique way forward.
As an artist, working with dreams will add an invaluable dimension to your work. Dreams are the language of soulful imagination – and when artists become fluent in this language they begin to create the kind of work that resonates with our time. The kind of work that points the way forward.
Individual sessions are 1 hour.
Through breath, relaxation and effortless movement we temporarily dissolve the ego and get out of our own way, so we can hear the dream's message. We then utilize active imagination and visualization techniques to allow the dream to speak to us. At the end of the session, we talk about ways to incorporate this new knowledge into waking life.

I have reveled in soma and fresh, pure embodiment during Louise’s creative explorations. What a journey gateway Louise opens!
Her classes and workshops are like getting to drop into an early Martha Graham studio experience, later we will all share awe that we had the gift of access.
Louise isn’t just an aligned creative: she births worlds. ”
“Working with Louise changed my perspective on acting and how we can begin to integrate our dreams into our work, she has this gifted ability to cater to what you need at every given moment, her knowledge and sensitive instrument helped me to develop as an artist. ”
“Louise Rosager has made me a better writer. ”
“From the start Louise was a smart and patient collaborator who quickly grasped the essence of the story I was trying to tell, and seemed to care as much as I did about telling it well. She never imposed her ideas on the story, instead she helped me crystallize my main character’s deepest needs and struggles, then we developed a story structure that rose organically and authentically from that foundation. I’ve been a working writer all my adult life, but the work I did with Louise gave me clarifying insights into the mysteries of storytelling that have informed my writing ever since.”
