Who is theDreamingOutLoud Technique for?
ActorBecause once you know your purpose and your gifts...no one can take that away from you or make you feel like less than...because you know your worth you're unstoppable An actor with years of training, tons of credits and still collecting unemployment in between jobs? Here's a secret: every other single job in the world pays employees more money each year as they gain experience or employees will leave. Acting is the only profession I know of where people work for $400 per week, their entire careers. 1. Find work that has meaning for you & creates stable income 2. Find an agent/manager who is as gifted at their craft of representing you as you are at the craft of storytelling/acting. 3. How to use your EMOTIONAL TYPE to create a unique personal brand that doubles your auditions & makes you fearless in the audition room |
WriterThe writer working a day job watching your peers get published, join TV show writing teams, go on book tours, premiere at Sundance while you work the day job you thought would give you security, but really it's just blocking your dreams & exhausting your spirit.
Here's the skinny: writers block is fear in drag. The block is an emotional one because you are not in line with your purpose, your life mission, that's where the richest, most profound storytelling lives -- in the stories your soul already knows. APPLY TO 1. Figure Out Your four major emotional chords (the life lessons you were put here to get right this time) These are the keys to learning your purpose and the key emotional and psychological issues you're an expert at exploring as you create character & story in line with your recurring emotional chords. 2. Find the money and the time to support your writing 3. Move past WritersBlock (fear in drag) & having too many irons in the fire to accomplish your goal |
DreamerA mid-life genius bored with your job, disillusioned by the promise that money would make everything alright, worried that there are more years behind you than in front of you & you've barely scratched the surface of your dreams?
PSSSST You wouldn't want more unless you were actually put here to do more bec nothing good comes out of your comfort zone. APPLY TO 1. Find work that has meaning for you & creates stable income 2. Start your own Business or Project that Resonates with Your Four Major Emotional Chords which are the life lessons you were put here to get right this time. Because once you know your purpose, saying 'no' to things that no longer serve you is easy. 3. Cut the fat & work smarter, not harder so that pursuing your dream becomes do-able even with all of your other obligations (family, day job, etc) |

- Are you stuck in a rut?
- Feel like you've outgrown your job, your life and need a change? - Feel like you need to stir things up and start brainstorming how to get back to living the dreams you set out to accomplish? On this trip you’ll journey to Morocco’s classic destinations, visiting its four imperial cities, its mountains and its desert. Over 17 amazing days you’ll see the stunning colonial architecture and palm-lined boulevards of Rabat, the impressive ramparts and monumental gates of Meknes, the craftsmen, markets, tanneries and mosques of Fes, the endless dunes of the Sahara Desert, the diverse landscapes of the Rif, Middle and High Atlas Mountains, and the storytellers, snake charmers and henna painters of Marrakech’s Djemaa el Fna. Along the way you’ll wander the winding paths of Chefchaouen’s whitewashed medina, go back in time to the Roman Empire at the archaeological site of Volubilis, and discover the 17th century kasbahs of Ait Ben Haddou. With each destination having its own unique history, wonders and highlights, this journey through classic Morocco is one unforgettable cultural adventure! |
