So I signed up for a teleconference workshop with SARK, to work on keeping myself focused and energized. It is so helpful to continue verbalizing and naming my dream (our dream). It helps me believe it's real; it helps me SEE it. So in case y'all are interested, this is how I am currently verbalizing this thing we are in the middle of...

What dream(s) will you focus on during Dream Boogie with SARK?

My dream falls in the categories of service and the arts. I care about wellness in the body, mind, and creative spirit. I care about finding the healthiest, most inspired space within myself and helping others find it within themselves. I want to meld together my interests in dance, theater, writing, wellness, youth mentorship, community building, and education. I want to continue to stretch and grow in what I know—intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I want to support this spirit of growth and play in others, as well.

SPECIFICALLY (and long-term) MY DREAM IS......Creating a space—a physical place, but also a creative space within everyone who walks through the door—where multiple genres of art and creation and healing can occur. This space will allow for a community of artists and lovers of art. The genres will include music (with performance and recording opportunities), poetry, writing, multi-genre performance art, dance, yoga, theater, therapy (play therapy, dance/theater therapy, perhaps massage), etc. There will be classes, workshops, events continuously filling the space with life, excitement, and change.The space will be an ever-changing vessel for what the community that fills it needs at any given time. A concrete container for the ineffable energy pulsing through and generating from the people and the moments within.

What are your intentions for your participation in Dream Boogie with SARK? What do you intend to receive?

I would like to work on believing in myself. I would like to work on continuing to develop the image of this dream. Work on visualizing, but also work on what steps I PERSONALLY can take to make sure I’m moving forward.

Through that plan, hopefully I can continue keeping Ian and Liz (my brother and cousin who share this dream, and will be adding their own talents and energies to the endeavor) and me all on the same page and all individually working on our piece of the puzzle.I hope to receive creative energy from like-minded people.

I hope to receive feedback on the dream—does it seem like something people would benefit from? Does it seem possible to mash together so many different pieces, or does that make the idea too muddled, too complicated, too unmanageable? I hope to receive advice on how to plan my immediate steps and perhaps also my long-term steps. What should I be doing NOW to make sure I can realize this dream in THIS LIFETIME!!
