What is Dream Talks you ask?
DreamTalks is similar to TedTalks, but focused on Entrepreneurship, Wellness, and Spirituality. They are bringing an exciting and uplifting event to entrepreneurs around the world, starting in Vancouver... their mission is to give entrepreneurs a platform to share their dream with the world, and the support to bring that dream to life.
Who is Dream Talks for?
DreamTalks is for next level thought leaders, visionaries, luminaries, game-changers, and leading edge social entrepreneurs who are on a mission to raise consciousness around the world and build the world of our dreams.
Why attend?
DreamTalks is where you'll meet and connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs, luminaries, and visionaries who are focused on creating the biggest impact on humanity. Everyone is aligned with the purpose of uplifting and inspiring humanity. These are your people.
April Tioseco Bellia comes from quite the array of professional skills: Connectionism, Entrepreneurship, Intuition, Leadership, Networking, Personal development, Self-employment, Speaker, and Tea Time. Just to name a few. . . one of her first endeavours was Granola Girl: Inspired by some sweet and pouchy friends, April shifted her focus from cake baking to natural health food. She created a granola that was both good for the taste buds and for the soul. Her friends and family were hooked instantly. One called her "the Granola Girl," and the brand was born.
This the shifted into yet another dream: "SERENDIPITY TEA PARTY"
Serendipity: The are of finding the wonderfully unexpected.
What We Do: Fun, heart-based networking tea partied for conscious entrepreneurs.
"Because we often feel isolated as entrepreneurs, I wanted to create a support system of local business owners no matter what stage of business you are in. Also, it is my vision to expand our community of beautiful, talented, conscious and heart-centered friends. This experience is a reunion of our soul family. We simply just get it." April, Founder
From Tea it turned into Dream talks 1.0 with the help of her new partner in crime: William Oliver of ARAZAS who's visions and dreams seemed to align quite nicely with April's visions and dreams. ARAZAS is more than just a company... it's a way of life. It exists to bring people's dreams to life. ARAZAS believes that EVERYONE in the world has a dream and that it is those dreams that will change the world.
The common theme throughout each speakers time on stage was: LEGACY. What is our LEGACY? As a group of entrepreneurs that work more from their intuition and dreams rather than the normal status quo it is our duty to really put more thought in to our LEGACY. We thrive from being present, open minded, and happy. Something we need to do is take a step back and ask ourselves is: What is our message? As stated very simply by Heather Pennell, photographer, "it's not about the medium, the website or the clothing we where, it is about the message."
Another stand out speech was Mike Zaremba of Float House. Similar message about LEGACY and what messages we are putting out there, but more on technology and where that is leading us. We have spent so much time trying to keep up with the times so to speak we have lost that interpersonal connection. This whole social media world has really sucked us in to updating websites on a regular basis, hashtags, instagram accounts, Facebook accounts. twitter accounts, Linkedin, and so many more I still have yet to learn and hear about that we have lost our knack for eye contact, face to face conversations, and phone calls. Many of us are from the Pre Internet world and now we are part of the Post Internet world. Perfectly put by Mike, "We need to choose in accordance with this knowledge. How much of ourselves are we incorporating the internet with and is it what we are aligned with? Our generation is the turning point for our future with the internet and our survival."
A little light shed more on this technology bubble by Sandra Garcia, Conscious Public relations!!! What an incredible question: Do you remember the first words you ever said? Probably not. Interesting isn't it? We learn how to read and write but we forget the gift of language that has been passed down from generation to generation long before we ever actually go to school to learn. It's taken for granted and we really need to take a step back and develop a sense of gratitude towards it. The wellness of the world depends on our contributions, again, what is the message you would want to share on you tube if all the people in the world could see it?
Dustin Hahn pointed something very important out while speaking about his success with starting his own business at the age of 20 and then being able to retire at 27, which, by the way is incredible! Chasing his dreams of success didn't necessarily end with a fire works display though, still feeling empty he wondered what was missing. Then reality hits you smack in the face in a forever life changing moment. . . . Getting caught in an avalanche overnight taught him more than any book or written exam could. It wasn't the success of his work and business he found himself thinking about, it was wondering who he was never going to see again. In that moment he decided it was time to be PRESENT. In life we have this tendency to just shuffle from here to there to here. . . . What about the 90% of life in the middle that actually is where we are living?
As pointed out by Alexina Metha, naturopath and Goddess Gathering Facilitator, When we look outside ourselves for the answers and expect those answers to come from an outside source we miss the most important discusser. . . Listening to ourselves! We already know what we need, we ignore it. The answers are always within ourselves. Larry Li nailed this one as well, we must take notice of the patterns and conditions that don't serve us, making the choice to create the change within. The world is an expression of ourselves. Take the responsibility of your ownself. Update yourself to see the change.
This event brought together people who do what they love on a regular basis. And not just to do it but as their business. I have come to terms with this realization long ago and so has my dear friend Tree, Theresa Walsh. We love to dance!!! And dancing is exactly what every single person at Dream Talks did June 11th. It was an amazing movement throughout the space and boy did we GROOVE. What an incredible amount of energy, smiles and joy it stirred up, which would not have been an easy task without the help of our beautiful dancing sister Jacky Enssombe from Cameroon!!! This beautiful women said it straight up, We are all from the same family, we are not just connecting from the mind, we connect from the dance.
ONE NESS, thank you Taylor Conroy, Change Heroes, for this recap for the beautiful day that was created through April's dream and William's encouragement. Getting rid of separation can lead to everyone recognizing the beauty we are surrounded by, but not only our surroundings, our own beauty. Our own intuition. Our dreams. By recognizing the message and legacy we want to create and leave behind, we are creating a world that is more present. We are here because we are going to look after humanity. It's our job! We have hope!
Coming soon to a venue near you, in Vancouver. . . Dream Talks, September 25, 2015, Hotel Vancouver. You don't want to miss this epic sequel.
