What Are You Hungry For?

Price: $50

Years ago, sitting in my mom’s living room, hanging out with Mom and my sisters, cutting and gluing, dreaming, chatting, I had no idea that a life-changing practice had entered into my life. Who would imagine that a simple, creative activity could open up the door to my dreams. And I’m not alone.

Dreamboard Amy Rounded

Over the years, I have learned to make dreamboards not only as manifestation tools (which they are!) but also as powerful reflecting pools. Creating a dreamboard with each full moon has helped me tune into my inner compass; it keeps me focused on true north. Join me in this Full Moon practice and connect to your self, the Universe and your dreams: big and small, tender and brave, mundane and wild.

This year I have launched something new, something rooted deeply in dreamboards, in moon cycles, in creativity and magic, rooted in my deep belief in dreams and in you: a Year of Dreams.

A Year of Dreams

Dreamboard Testimonial Sam JRSOn every New Moon, I will launch a new workshop that will guide you in creating your dreamboard under the specific influence of the upcoming Full Moon (e.g. Full Snow Moon, Full Worm Moon, Full Pink Moon). Every monthly offering will include not only the moon-specific workshop but also the How to Make a Dreamboard the Studio Way lesson so that we are all creating in the same context and on the same sacred ground. Once you purchase your first Year of Dreams workshop, you will receive a coupon giving you access to a special price for every workshop this year.

The Full Wolf Moon asks: What are you hungry for?

And that is the question we will be focusing on for this workshop. From the moment you arrive, that question will start to steep in your heart. Clues will begin to bubble as you gather your materials, holding the question in your heart. As you step into the creative process, you will start to engage with your dreams. When you enter the circle with the Full Moon, you will have the opportunity to discover the messages she has for you. In that moment, you will create a dreamboard that will become a manifestation magnet but that will also serve as a reflecting pool, helping you discover the dreams in your heart – and the parts of yourself – that want to emerge.

Dreamboard Testimonial Jill Long Form RoundedHere’s what you get with this workshop:

  • Welcome: A personal welcome video from me, introducing you to the workshop and inviting you into the circle.
  • Dreamboard Lesson: A complete lesson on How to Make a Dreamboard the Studio Way, rich with magic, creativity, intention and intuition.
  • Full Moon Dreamboard Workshop: In this audio workshop, I take you on a journey to connect to the energy of this Full Moon. From that place you will then connect to your dreams in a deep and powerful way before embarking on the creative process of dreamboarding. Once you’ve made your board, we will journal our way to discovering the magical messages it has for you.
  • Full Moon Guided Visualization: One of the most powerful aspects of the workshop is connecting to the magic of the full moon. You’ll receive a separate MP3 so that you can visit with this Full Moon anytime.
  • Full Moon Journal Sheets: To support you in the workshop, you will receive downloadable journal sheets, one to connect you to your dreams in this very moment and the other to uncover the wisdom within your dreamboard.
  • Printable Supply List: This supply list will make sure you have everything you need for dreamboarding.
  • Lifetime Access: As a registrant of this full moon workshop, you will have access to this content for the workshop’s lifetime.
  • Bonus Lesson: An additional lesson designed specifically to give you even more opportunity to deepen your experience with your dreamboard and bring more of its magic to life.
  • Bonus Resource: A PDF of the moon cycles of 2014
  • Bonus Opportunity: Access to a dreamboard discovery session with me – at a special price!

A Note About Timing: When you register, you’ll have immediate access to this program and everything you need to know in order to create your dreamboard for the Full Moon.

Christmas Eve – Tradition & Change

Christmas Wreath

Since my parents split up a long, long time ago, Christmas Eve has been the time we celebrate with Mom. This is turkey night with all the trimmings. This is brie and crackers, veggies and dip, icy squares and clementines. And Asti, if we remember. This is laughter and good food and family.

This is our second Christmas without Mom. We spent last year’s in an ice storm, thankful for the return of power and eating Swiss Chalet. The storm was so out of the ordinary and so challenging for so many that we were filled with a deep gratitude for the simple gifts of being safe, warm and together.

This year we’re faced with how to go on celebrating without Mom. What feels like “our way” now? How do we honour our memories and traditions and also acknowledge that things have changed?

When I looked through Christmas pictures for this post, I realized that hough my image of Christmas Eve is stable for all of these years, in fact, it’s been so different so many times.

Christmas Ornaments

We’ve ordered Chinese Food and celebrated at Mom’s.

We’ve eaten dinner sitting on the floor in one of my first and favourite apartments. That year, Shannon created our Christmas Tree by drawing it on a single sheet of paper. We taped it to the wall and put the presents below.

So we’ve had paper trees and since then small trees and tall trees, wide trees and white trees.

Christmas Eve at Shannons

We’ve had rain and we’ve had snow.

We’ve celebrated on the 20th floor and in basements.

We’ve celebrated at Shannon’s and we’ve celebrated at mine and now at ours.

Christmas Eve at Ours

We’ve had raucous celebrations and quiet ones.

Christmas Ice Candles

We’ve gone out and we’ve stayed in.

Christmas Eve Out

We’ve been with many configurations of our loved ones.

6 Bascha at Christmas

The truth is that many things have varied when it comes to Christmas Eve.

Mom at Christmas

The only real constant?

Love.

And that, we still have.

Wrapping Up, Celebrating the Year & Making Snow Angels

Every weekday morning I invite you Behind the Scenes at my studio.

Today: I can’t believe how centreal Behind the Scenes has become in the studio! It makes me beam to know that creative hearts around the world are sitting down with me over tea, after dinner, first thing in the morning, right before bed. I love that we get this studio time together. And that’s why it’s been so hard to decide it’s time for the holidays, to wrap up for 2014 with lots of love and celebrations and the intention to meet you all again in the New Year!

May you close 2014 with celebration, may you be filled with a sense of wonder and joy.
May the new year bless you in ways you haven’t even imagined.
May the holidays wrap you in peace, love and joy.
