DREAM FORUM | Round 2 (Virtual)

NOVEMBER IS DREAMER MONTH!

For the past six months, our twelve Dreamers have been guided on a journey of slowing down to discern God’s voice calling new things forth, provided with practical resources and connections, and supported by individual guidance from our Cultivation Committee.

Now it’s time to bring YOUR skills, connections, and resources into this communal process of dream cultivation and play your part in taking up the calling we’ve received—a calling to reimagine and remake our world with love.

We’re extending this year’s Dream Forum across three nights, highlighting four Dreamers each week, to create more space for honoring these incredible Dreamers and nurturing generative connections. Together, in Spirit-led community, we can cultivate new vision to help bring beauty, justice, and restoration to our world.

Join us Nov 2nd or Nov 9th online, or on Nov 16th in-person in NYC (as well as virtual for out-of-towners) and let’s dream together!

RSVP FOR 1 NIGHT OR ALL 3!

ROUND 2 (NOV 9, 7:30p EST)

Meet Mary Katrisiosi Baldwin (Athens, Greece) | Jewelry Design to End Human Trafficking

I want to combine my two passions: designing and creating strong, edgy jewelry and working with men and women in prostitution in the red light district of Athens, Greece, most of whom are victims of human trafficking. My dream is that my jewelry would send a message of empowerment as its boldness serves as a reminder of the strength and beauty of the wearer, while simultaneously shedding light on this dark reality in the city of Athens with a portion of the proceeds supporting these women financially through Nea Zoi, a non-profit organization that I work with.

Meet Karen and Cyrena (Mountain View, CA) | Her Life Ally

Our dream is to help women overcome traumas and major transitions which knock them out of living in full purpose and flourishing. Our tools are (i) a new paradigm for allying women that takes into account trauma and healing (ii) technology to help them unlock community resources and hyper-local expertise.

Meet Christine Evans (Chicago, IL) | Shared Roots Mediation

I dream of providing a safe and welcoming space for survivors of sexual harm to seek healing, accountability, and support outside of the legal system. In this space, their voices and stories are important and prioritized. Starting as a conflict resolution practice rooted in the principles of restorative and transformative justice, this space would center survivors, allowing them to determine what they need individually to heal and grow, while also lifting up the humanity and dignity of all persons involved in the harm. Once this practice has been established, I dream of bringing on partners and expanding the work to include education and training, community circles, mindfulness, as well as other modalities of growth and healing for all persons and communities impacted by sexual harm.
