Come As You Will Be Party

All my life I’ve wanted to be somebody.
But I see now I should have been more specific.

To keep an intimate feel and allow time for us to talk to each other, this gathering is limited to 15 people, so register early!

Tell me more:

Just as you try on clothes in a fitting room, this is a chance to try on, for a few hours, one of your possible futures. You  are not committing to pursuing that future, or publicly stating that is the direction you want to go in life, you are just playing with one possibility in a fun and lighthearted way.

We are talking to each other about what has gone on for us in the last five years. You will be asked to bring props –  a business card for your current role, photos of the dream house you built, the medal from that marathon, a copy of the book you wrote etc.

Sounds Scary!

Yes, I expect the idea of this party scares you. It is very vulnerable to take your deep hidden dreams and haul them out into the light. But if you are not brave enough to step into it for one evening, how will you ever be strong enough to create this in your life?

To create a safe and nurturing place, if you come you need to commit to the following common agreements:

Keep it positive.

This is an evening of celebration. We are here to cheer on each other. Appropriate responses to successes shared include comments like “wow! Tell me more” or “how wonderful, how have you felt in the new role?” or “what was it like to achieve that?”

Check your naysayer voice at the door.

The little voice in your head might be thinking “how would that ever be possible” or “she doesn’t have it in her” or “that plan would never work.” If someone wants to come as a millionaire, it not our place to pick holes in their plan. Who are we to say what is possible? We need to actively remind ourselves that “anything is possible.

Its not about the details.

This is about dreaming, and feeling out what it would be like to live that life, not about the details. Any errors in dates, needed corrections around ages, imperfect props or other rough edges will be graciously ignored. They are not important what’s important..

Respect confidentiality.

The details shared during this evening are to be kept in complete confidence. This will be our secret evening. You are not to go sharing with others do you know Soandso dreams of being a such and such.  It is up to each of us to choose with who and when we share our precious dreams.

But I don’t know where I want to be in five years! 

Exactly! And how will you ever create the life you love if you never start exploring where you want to be? For this evening I will send questions and journaling activities to help you start exploring what you do want. And often navigating big life choices is more like that children’s game “hotter or colder” than it is a blinding flash of insight. As you try something, you will feel this is warmer, it is closer to what I want. Or perhaps you feel, nope, this is colder. Not what I am looking for. This is a chance to “try on” one possible future and see how it feels.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
