Dreams are delicate things.

In order to become reality, they need to be nurtured and helped on their way in an environment of safety and encouragement, where we can say what we've long kept to ourselves. What happens when we give voice to dreams that have long remained unspoken?

Giving voice to our dreams in a supportive environment allows us to take the out-of-focus images of our dreams and gradually give them shape and contours. It allows us to move from "wouldn't it be nice" to "how would I go about doing that?"

Arrange to bring FINDING TUSCANY, a two-hour coaching workshop, to your women's group. Give voice to your dream, wild idea or pet project – and work out your next step in a supportive group of women. Bring a daydream; take home a possibility!

What's dream-worthy? It's not just the big things, like moving across the ocean to live "Under the Tuscan Sun."

In reality, the most powerful dreams often sound trivial – but they're not! Things like:

• Bricking the patio and creating a beautiful garden retreat
• Paying attention to the voice in your head that is saying, "I bet I could do that!" – whether it's applying for that job you think you'd never get, or training for a marathon.
• Telling your mother-in-law what you really think

So often, "Tuscany" is in our own back yard if we will only pay attention and give voice to our silent, persistent thoughts and inklings.

Why are those dreams so important?

It's because each of them is an expression of self. Acting on your dreams is a way of saying, "I am ! ! !" Bringing them into reality – even though they grow and change along the way – is a way of sculpting and refining the person you are meant to be.

In the FINDING TUSCANY workshop, you will:

• Learn about the skill of tuning in to the sparks of energy that will guide you to design a life that's perfect – for you!
• Have a chance to share your dream, big or small, with a supportive group of women.
• Explore what it would mean to you if you accomplished that desire.
• Learn specific steps about how to create an environment that will pull you toward your dream.

Does a workshop sound a little scary? Women's Life Design workshops are different. You'll never be put on the spot or pushed in any way. Whether you just want to listen and think, learn new skills, or actively discuss your own "wild idea," Finding Tuscany will provide the space for you to do it!
