Note from
Dream Factory Community Founder

At the Dream Factory Community we train Chief Dream Officers (CDOs) who take a proactive approach to living their personal and professional dreams. We work on 4 qualities:
- Visionary
- Organizer
- Self-Transformer
- Community Leader
To create any dream, you need a vision and a plan, to disarm your private saboteur, and have a community of support.
We study these elements throughout the year. July-September we look at Self-Transformation. When you are working on a dream, you need to disarm your private saboteur and develop new capacities.
In March, I led three programs to teach people how to do that.
Here are the links to the video of one of those programs and the handout we used.
- Do you ever get stuck when you are trying to move forward toward your dream?
Check out the video and use the handout. Let us know how it goes or if you have any questions. We can support you.

Dream Factory Gathering
Writing as Transformation
Thursday, July 20th
12:00 - 1:30, Q&A, 1:30-2:00pm est
Water View Terrace in Framingham and Zoom
Writing can transform your life. No matter what form it takes—writing down our thoughts can help us clarify our feelings, make our communications more understandable, resolve problems or simply give us peace of mind. It can inspire, educate, bring hope, make us laugh or cry. Writing things down makes them real!
The Dream Factory Community has been offering a Zoom Writing Group on Monday, 10-11am since Covid. Led by book editor and designer, Ellen Keiter, we have been on our CDO journey learning how writing can contribute to our lives, our work and our world. Members will be sharing their pieces, their books and you might even get a chance to try a short writing exercise yourself. Join us.

Our June DF Gathering featured the members who come to the Checkins on Monday and Friday.
Since we are in our third year, we discussed the value of having a community of people to celebrate our victories and help us with our challenges. People who really know, love and support what we are up to.

Each person gets 4-minutes with a 1-min warning to share. It is a unique opportunity to be listened to, without interruption. Input can be asked for during the 4-minutes allotted.
Do you have people who really listen? It is the greatest gift we can offer each other. We shared our gratitude for having this community of support.
