Daydreaming and I’m thinking of you

A few weeks ago I conducted a “Dream Studio” pilot, offering women a creative, nurturing and inspiring environment to explore dreams and goals. And boy did they! Dream Studio is a workshop intended to help women formalize goals, create a visual representation of their goals and work with like-minded women to spark and recognize the physical manifestation of those goals. The pilot was a success; each woman walked away with a vision board. Getting there was how the real magic happened. There were two common themes among the women that participated:

1. There is simply no time to explore dreams and goals

2. Women didn’t know where to start

Despite those challenges the one thing that pleasantly surprised them (me, not so much) was that given the right environment, support and encouragement, creativity was ever present and flowing abundantly. I was fully prepared to assist those who would have a difficult time grasping the concept, clarifying goals or starting on a vision board, but there was not one such instance. Further proof for me that sometimes all we need is permission or a gentle push (and sometimes both☺). I’m preparing to launch these workshops this fall with a few smaller groups throughout the summer. The Dream Studio will be fabulous and women will be blessed, because that is my goal!

Stay tuned for details on upcoming Dream Studios.
