What's Your Wildest and Craziest Dream?
What's the wildest, craziest, good thing you can imagine doing in life over the next twelve months? Just imagine for a moment, lockdown doesn't exist, there are no obstacles holding you back, and you believe that dreams really do come true.
You may be considering:
• Raising a million pounds for a good cause.
• Writing a book.
• Creating positive change in your community on any level you can imagine.
Maybe you want to learn to speak a new language, get fit in time for your next birthday, or travel the world in eighty days.
THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER – a poem by Mary Oliver
As long as you're dancing, you can
break the rules.
Sometimes breaking the rules
is just extending the rules.
Sometimes there are no rules.
ABOUT CREATIVE WOMEN IN NEIGHBOURHOODS
The Creative Women in Neighbourhoods programme is based on more than two decades of experience of working across communities. We've seen first-hand the powerful impact women bring as catalysts for change when they connect with each other, share their innate wisdom and take inspired action towards transformation on any level.
We know there is a reservoir of untapped potential in our neighbourhoods, and the Creative Women in Neighbourhoods event is the first step to unleashing the creative genius in every woman, in every neighbourhood across the world.
While the focus of the programme is on neighbourhoods, we are inviting anyone who wants to build dreams, create the life they want, and move beyond the obstacles that seem to be getting in the way.
In essence you can:
Start Where You Live: Make change in your neighbourhood that impacts your community.
Start Where You Work: Make change in your career even if you feel stuck right now.
Start Where You Are: Reach an impossible goal that will see change in any area of your life.
WHO'S IT FOR
The Creative Women in Neighbourhoods is open to any woman living in the UK who has a dream, a goal or an aspiration that appears to be impossible right now.
