Join us for a transformative conversation with Dr. Bonnie Buckner—visionary psychologist, founder of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery®, and author of the forthcoming book The Secret Mind. In this Fireside Chat, Dr. Buckner explores how dreams and imagery are not just nighttime experiences, but powerful tools for leadership, creativity, and whole-person transformation.

Drawing from transpersonal psychology, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom, this session invites global leaders, changemakers, and seekers to reimagine how we access inner knowing in times of uncertainty. What if the solutions to our most complex problems—personal and planetary—already exist within us, waiting to be dreamed into consciousness?

Through engaging dialogue and practical insight, Dr. Buckner will illuminate how the “secret mind” offers not only healing but also a blueprint for ethical, intuitive, and future-ready leadership.

✨ Whether you are a student of consciousness, a leadership coach, or simply curious about the power of dreams—this is a rare opportunity to journey inward and forward with one of today’s most innovative voices in transformational work.
