Founder
Dasha Bond is a certified Dream Coach, Intuitive, and Shamanic Healer, who
has studied with Laura Hileman, Freedom Folk & Soul, Gaia Sisterhood, Robert
Moss, Sandra Ingerman, Dana Micucci, Ariella Daly, and the late Will Sharon.
With her beloved husband, Kenny, and two children, Lilli and Avery, she has
pilgrimaged across Southern France and England as well as sacred parts of
Mexico and North America, attuning to the energetic lay lines of our lands
and the stories carried by the rocks, the rivers, the trees, and the bees. She feels
a deep connection to the language of nature and the divine feminine and
masculine aspects of herself revealed to her through the dream archetypes
found in classic myths and personal stories.
In 2021, she began dreaming with the bees and Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Answering their calls in 2022, she visited Our Lady’s Shrine in Mexico City as
well as the Pyramids of Teotihuacan. This journey catalyzed the rebirth of her
true story and deeper work into the mysteries of consciousness, the multi-verse,
and the many ways trauma shows up in our minds, bodies, and energy fields.
She currently leads monthly “Dreaming with Bees” healing circles in Franklin,
Tennessee.
Having worked in healthcare for over 20 years, Dasha has witnessed countless
individuals experience the full spectrum of the physical body’s joys and pains,
births and deaths. She has been a member of the No One Dies Alone (NODA)
program for seven years, serving the homeless and those with a home but no
family or friends to comfort them as they transition. During the peak of COVID
in 2020, she felt the call to serve the dying in a deeper capacity, so enrolled
and completed the University of Vermont’s End of Life Doula certification
program. Much of her focus within the Dreamtime is helping dreamers also
move through their seasons of grief from all the many losses we experience,
often silently.
When Dasha isn’t dreaming, she is writing. She just completed a collaborative
book project titled Shaman Heart, Sacred Rebel that will be released May
2023. She is currently completing a memoir, Wild Life Whispers: Book of
Remembering, a novel titled A Nun’s Tale and a young adult fantasy
collection known as The Persnickety Wicks Washed Up Mysteries Series. You

Kristin is a Singer Songwriter, Fine Artist and certified Dream Coach. She began questioning the nature of reality when she was quite young and experienced a series of reoccurring dreams with beings who felt like family in places that felt more real than this one sometimes felt. The dreams took her to the realms of Faery, to enchanted forests with a friend she called Raven boy, to a life with a family of elephants. These friends would also visit her in the light of day as she played in the woods behind her house. As she grew she began to lose the connection she had to these worlds when the collective messaging of this one crowded in with it’s limited view of what is real and what is possible.
After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University with a BFA in acting and moving to New York City her dreamworlds again became a place of vivid and rich experience while her “waking” reality felt like a shadow world. After many years of cutting herself off from love and Spirit, she began opening up to them again. Deep in the travels of Dreamtime she began to visit her childhood friends and to hear songs from these worlds. In her waking life she had begun to play the guitar and to paint as an act of kindness to self and in readiness to heal. She began to bring the songs and images from Dreamtime back to this world to the best of her ability. Though she didn’t yet know it, she was being guided to honor the ancient practices of Dreaming cultures all over the world who believed that if we have lost our dreams we have lost a part of our soul, that dreaming is a realm of soul and a place of true healing and real encounters with spirit guides, loved ones who have passed or aspects of our selves we may have lost along the way. And that the real magic is to find the treasures in these worlds and to bring them back.
She found the work of Robert Moss, NYTimes best selling author, Dream Teacher and creator of Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of dreamwork and Shamanic techniques for empowerment and healing. In his work she found deep resonance and a new understanding of what her dreams and intuition had been guiding her to bring forth. Before the release of her first record, River of Mist, she reached out to Robert with a few of her songs and he responded with great kindness and support inviting her to sing on a magic mountain where he gathers with beautiful dreamers, writers and teachers from all over the world. He has since featured her music on many of his courses through the Shift network as well as interviewing her and sharing her songs for his course, Dreaming with the Soul of the World.
Kristin is a certified Dream Coach through the Robert Moss School of Active Dreaming. She has also studied with Sandra Ingerman, Paul Selig and the Guides and is an avid student of the work of Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Carl Jung, Richard Rohr, Cynthia Bourgeault and Tara Brach, to name a few.
She is an award winning fine artist and an Associate member of the American Impressionist Society as well as a member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society. Her favorite subjects to paint are the human figure in the wild, natural world in moments of love and communion. She holds concerts in the Nashville community and sings at gatherings focused on healing, dreamwork and the Celtic turning of the wheel. Many of these events are hosted by Jennifer Harvard of Gaia Sisterhood and Dasha Bond of Dreaming with the Bees. She will be cohosting an event with Karen Renée Robb of Frame Drum Wisdom in May of 2023. She is also a Hospice volunteer.
She and her husband/producer, Bryan Clark( who also the Raven boy she dreamed of as a girl)have begun to record her second album which celebrates the Divine Feminine-Holy Mother while continuing the themes of dream travel, parallel lives and active imagination. In one of the songs, Watering Elephants, she revisits her childhood family of elephants and will donate a part of the proceeds from that song to the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, TN where previously performing or captive elephants can live free.
