So, How Was The Party?

The 2nd annual Providence Dream Party™ was a tremendous success!
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, along with some great suggestions to make it even better next time! THANK YOU to all who attended and engaged in playful networking and dream sharing. You are what The Dream Party™ is all about!


Virtual Time Machine Exercise for Everyone!

Whether you attended this year's Providence Dream Party™ or not... you are invited to participate now in a Virtual Time Machine experience. Sit down with a cup of tea and write yourself a letter dated 5 years from today. You may want to begin your letter with: "I am so happy and grateful now that..." Put it in a sealed envelope, for your eyes only, and address it to yourself. Put that envelope in another envelope and mail to: Create Your Life! P.O. Box 3317, Providence, RI 02909. In one year, I will mail it to you so you can check in with your progress toward your dreams for the future.


The Dream Team: Available All Year!
If you missed the Dream Party™ this time around, fear not! The Dream Team is available throughout the year, as your one-stop Dream Realization resource. Each Dream Team member is a personal advocate, eager to provide the support, guidance, and expertise you need to move toward your dreams for the future.


What People are Saying about The Dream Party™...
"If you can, for a moment, imagine a get-together with all the resources that you might hope for to take the next steps toward your individual success...this is what Tara and her Dream Team accomplished."

"I attended the Dream Party with no dream, but after such a fun time and speaking to people, my dreams started to surface and come alive. Thank you for such an event. Dream on!"

"I really loved it!"

"The Dream Party was a fun and innovative way to step in one's future shoes. I've been working on growing my own business, and it was great to talk about my business as if it was five years down the road - highly motivating. The Dream Party created a fun, energetic way to connect and network with others."

"Hurray to a networking event tied to your own passion - of living your dreams! The event was very creative with a Dream Machine to step into to write your future self a letter that Create Your Life! actually mails to participants, in the Footbridge to the Future which serves as a metaphor for stepping not only into 2012, but into participating in one's dream for their life!"

"A great place to meet creative people!"

"Although a 'comfort zone' may feel good, it can stop growth and adventure in your life. The Dream Party shows us the limitless possibilities in our lives - if we allow ourselves to follow the dream(s) in our hearts."

Alison's Dream Party™ Story

Alison's Dream Party™ Story

In May of 2006, my friend Rita told me about a 'Dream Party.' She emailed me the flyer, and I knew I had to attend.

I've always been a person with A LOT of dreams but was unsure how to manifest them, and which ones to focus my energy on. At that time, I had reached a point in my life where I was feeling ready to begin manifesting my dreams into reality. When I went to the Dream Party in May 2006, I was doing temporary work at a law firm, while holding in my heart the dream of creating my own business through combining my artistic skills with my work experience as a care-giver to children and elders. I chose to wear a costume to the party, and I called myself 'an artist who makes a difference in the world.'

At the Dream Party I had the opportunity to speak with members of the Dream Team, and I began to see that it REALLY is possible to be an artist and a leader in the community. I left the party INSPIRED, with lots of great business contacts, and with a commitment to being coached by Tara Gross for the next 3 months.

In the three-month period that followed, I came to OWN my dream of being self-employed and wildly creative in my career. Tara's coaching put me into action: I signed up for a Business Plan Writing Class, 3 Computer Classes, and received invaluable coaching on how to negotiate client terms with integrity and grace. Most importantly I was given the support to take action towards my dreams.

In the past year I have brought 30 unique and creative programs to over 200 kids and adults in various communities in the State of Rhode Island. I am clear that the work I do in the world really matters, makes a difference for people, and, I am having so much FUN doing it!!!!

If you want to connect with the dreams that inspire you and touch your heart, I highly recommend attending The Dream Party, and then signing up with Tara as your coach!!!!

For more information about creative and unique programs and spaces for your community please contact Ali LeBrun at alisonhlebrun@yahoo.com


Thank you Alison, and all the dreamers, that inspire and challenge me to do this joyful work!

Hope to see you all next week!


Looking forward,

Absolutely not! Dreaming is for everyone, and so is The Dream Party™! (21+)

Tickets are available on-line through Art Tix for $30/ ticket. Tickets will also be available at the door. The door price is $40. By pre-registering through Art Tix, you not only save money, but you also help us get a close-to-accurate head count so we can best serve you on May 17.

--- Do I have to dress up?
Dressing the part of your "future self" is encouraged! Though not required, why not share your dream with others through props and creative outfits? It's fun...it's a great conversation opener...and, it's an opportunity to embody and attract your dreams now.

If, for example, in 2012 you want...
To be a restaurant owner, wear a chef's cap.
To be retired and golf everyday, dress like a golfer.
To own a beach house, wear a sunhat, sunglasses, and sandals.
To be a marathon runner, pin a number to your running clothes.
To be a philanthropist, dress like one, (and bring your checkbook!)
To be an actor, dress the part of your dream role.

--- What's the role of The Dream Team?
The Dream Team is a special team of experts from a variety of fields that will be on-site and available for free consultation at the Dream Party™. They are every-day Dream Weavers, right here in Rhode Island!
Meet the Dream Team http://createyourlifeinc.com/dream_team.html

--- What do you mean by "Should & Impossible are not invited"?
Create Your Life! stands for your dreams and passions, not your "shoulds". We know that language is a powerful creator of your experience. 'Should' and 'Impossible' are disempowering words that bolster any obstacles that might be standing between you and your dreams. At the Dream Party™ you will have the opportunity to, literally, shred your 'Shoulds' and 'Impossibles.' Doing so will move you closer to your dreams for the future, AND you'll receive a special gift!

--- What feedback did you get about last year's Party?
"Compared to traditional networking events, the 2011 Party was such a treat! From the premise to the décor, to the agenda, to the mix of attendees - there was nothing stale about this event. It really got you focused on one simple and very personal thing: 'What's Your Dream?' Finally, a networking event that isn't about your business' purpose or sales goals, but about individuals - their desires and aspirations. What a delightful and refreshing change!"
~ Michelle Girasole, co-founder of The Sassy Ladies, a Dream Party™ sponsor


Invite others, and make it a night out with friends, family, or colleagues! Your dreams will thank you.
