Every weekday morning I invite you Behind the Scenes at my studio.
Today: Inspired by an email from Nancy, I’ve gone ahead and signed up for NaNoWriMo to get to writing my non-novel. And I’m excited I did it on the Full Hunter’s Moon! I think I know what I have my sights set on. Do you?
Every weekday morning I invite you Behind the Scenes at my studio.
Today: Feeling under the weather and today’s Osho Zen Card are both good reminders that sometimes are quiet times. Even big projects, like building a transcription team, have lots of little gentle tasks that can be done and that’s what I’m working on today. That, and a new podcast episode!
The Full Hunter’s Moon asks:
What dreams are your sights set on?
Answer her call by stepping into the circle and creating magic with a dreamboard.

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.
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
On 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 Hunter’s Moon asks:
What dreams are your sights set on?
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.
Here’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 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 the Full Snow 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.
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 Coupon: Once you sign up, you receive a coupon code that is good for the entire Year of Dreams series (12 workshops)
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 Hunter’s Moon on October 8th. You’ll continue to have access to the workshop resources until the next Full Moon on August 10.

More love from dreamers…
I see so many doors and possibilities opening up already as a result of the workshops and my dreamboard. So exciting! Sara Rae
I feel power crackling within my own [dreamboard]. It’s amazing. Angie
I feel like my dreamboard reached into those core dreams that I sometimes hold back. Tonight, they are out and I feel WILD! Rae
This was an incredibly powerful project. I have spent the better part of the past two weeks since the New Moon thinking about it, and collecting thoughts and images. But putting it all together and gluing it down — wow — such a commitment to myself that was. Camilla.
It opened my eyes to the many dreams & desires I’ve been keeping deep within. Thanks, Jamie! Poetic Dreams
This helped me to start back to where I need to be, listen to my intuition again. Thank you. Anita
This is exactly what I need to keep living intentionally. Thank you, Jamie! Ginette
What a wonderful way to focus intention for the month ahead. I almost felt like working magic! Emily
I found a magical message hidden in a bunch of random magazines! Amazing. Thanks again, Jamie. Elle
Thank you, Jamie, for creating this sacred space and place and for holding all our dreams so tenderly. Susan
About stART: Creating As We Go: Every couple of weeks my sisters and I get together and share what we’ve been creating – and what we’ve learned along the way. This week, we’re back together again! With all the time that is passed, and one cross-country move, we have lots to share about our creative projects and lives! (You can enjoy the show in video or audio format)
Our last adventure in Holland was visiting the city of Rotterdam. It’s very modern and the largest port city in Europe. In fact, it’s one of the busiest ports in the world. It doesn’t have the same older buildings we saw in so much of Holland because of a devastating bombing during the Second World War. My father-in-law told us this building on the left is known as their “White House.” It was the only building in the area that survived the bombs
Rotterdam’s identity as a port city could be felt with every step. Boats upon boats, everywhere! In this dock, many of the boats had information about their use and their history and you could even go aboard for a tour.
The one boat that we did go on was a water taxi!
We took it out to the Hotel New York. This is a very significant location for Justin’s family. It is where his parents boarded a boat bound for Canada. While we were there, my father-in-law Chris remembered what it was like to say goodbye to his father and take his young bride to a new country, the place where he would live for many years and where both his sons would be born.
We stopped inside for a lovely lunch. I made sure to have the Dutch classic croquette one more time!

Our trip was coming to a close and we were already reminiscing about the wonderful time we’d had, the great adventures, the visits with family, all the wonderful memories. This is one of my favourite pictures from the whole trip. Thank you, Chris!
And what better way to end our journey than to get up high for some perspective! The Euromast is like a tall ship mast with a crow’s nest observatory, including an exquisite restaurant and two hotel rooms, one named Heaven and the other Stars!
Now, I get a little wobbly with heights and Justin and Chris went up even higher than I did but wow, the view of Rotterdam from Euromast was worth it! Beautiful!
As we walked back to the car, ready to wrap up our Holland adventure, the sun caught our eye and drew us into this little park. What a moment!
As we continued our meandering, getting ready to leave Rotterdam, the sun started its gentle fall. The light blessed us and the city and it’s lowering told us this day and this journey was drawing to a close.
Sharing adventures brings us closer together. I’m so glad to have experienced Holland with Justin and his father and it has been a joy to share it with you. I hope you’ve been inspired and maybe even picked up a couple of tips to do some confident travelling of your own.
