THE DREAMCOAT...
is covered in pockets. Each pocket has a dream inside which someone has written.
Anyone can have a dream from a pocket but they must exchange it for a dream of their own.
So they give their dream......and get a stranger’s dream.
Those dreams can be of the sleeping kind, daydreams, aspirations, visions or fantasies.
All kinds of dreams, all kinds of people.
Since 2005 I’ve been exchanging dreams between strangers with the Dreamcoat, those dreams and their dreamers becoming an ongoing mini-record of collective consciousness.
It is an invitation to imagination, connection and possibility, championing these as crucial tools for a brighter, better future.
As dreams are a language that everyone understands in some way, the journey of the coat is ever expanding. Unity in diversity is at its heart and we are always looking to expand our dreamers.
I offer a variety of tailored sessions and walks that explore:
~ Slowing down, reclaiming our attention, reflecting and discovering what’s wanting to be said to us beyond the noise of the daily world.
~ Recovering imagination and our relationship with it and our dreams as a future guide.
~ Exploring our individual dreams and connecting with each other through sharing dreams.
~ Uncovering the longings and values within those dreams.
~ Investigating our dream journey - where we’ve been, where we are, where next and what’s needed for that, whether a dream for our selves, friends, families, strangers, our workplace, communities, society, the planet, the world.
