Dream psychologist, author, and interdisciplinary artist Angel Morgan, PhD is founder and director of Dreambridge (theDreambridge.com), Global PhD professor at Sofia University (Sofia.edu), and Oregon’s regional rep. for the International Association for the Study of Dreams (iasdreams.org). When Angel’s two children were little, she was a Waldorf class teacher in Los Altos, California. Since 2006, she has enjoyed living in Ashland. Her booth at the Ashland Artisan Emporium, alphablissedout is filled with her two empowering children’s books, original art, cards, magnets, and more.
Her first children’s book, The Alphabliss of Miss offers children twenty-six alphabetical poems and pictures about magical dream allies that are girls with strong, unique, and empowering qualities. Brigitte Benchimol, in a yogitimes.com book review wrote, “There is an ever-present need for positive female role models in children’s literature. The Alphabliss of Miss demonstrates the diversity of female role models, providing inspiration for girls to celebrate their femininity while encouraging boys to be in touch with their creative and nurturing sides. Characters from Anabelle to Zella inspire girls and boys to express their unique personalities. The beautiful illustrations by the multitalented author and illustrator Angel Morgan… add an extra dimension of vibrancy to this enchanting book. The vivid colors and original style coddle the poems like a familiar blanket… Children will enjoy the ride of reading and imagining how they want to make a difference in this world with their feminine and masculine sides in harmony.” At the booth alphablissedout you will find copies of this book, art prints, cards, and other crafts inspired from the book’s characters.
Co-illustrated with her adult daughter Akasha Morgan, her second children’s book is Dreamer’s Powerful Tiger: A New Lucid Dreaming Classic for Children and Parents of the 21st Century. Teaching children about dreams as they grow and develop not only empowers them, it also strengthens and deepens your relationship with them. Dreamer’s Powerful Tiger values and honors the inner life as well as the outer life of children, and shows how lucid dreamwork and dreamplay can benefit a child’s relationship to his or her family and community. In this book, Dreamer and his family explore the powerful feelings that arise for children developmentally with chasing and animal dreams, and suggest a comprehensive Senoi-inspired approach to coping with, resolving, learning, and growing from them. Hardcover and paperback editions, as well as book themed t-shirts, postcards, and stickers are new at alphablissedout.
