Create space for your Dream.

A bird doesn’t wait for her egg to hatch before starting to build a nest. She makes space for it long before it’s “found its form.” She gets a feeling in her gut, she feels a Quickening, and starts preparing for it.

Once an embryonic idea is “conceived,” it needs space. In your mind at the very least, but before long, it’s going to need literal space, too: a new office, a nursery, a studio. Birds tuck nests into site-specific nooks. If you can’t swing a studio. commandeer a corner, a table, a continent.  Get fiercely maternal about your Dream. Treat it like your offspring, because that’s exactly what it is.

If you’re gestating a Dream, get rid of some stuff. Just like old man winter does. Get rid of the dead wood. Just let it snap off and blow away. Have a rummage sale. Offer it to friends. Donate it to charity. Make space. Give yourself a little room to spread your wings.

Create space for that which hasn’t come into being yet.

In my Dream Hatching Workshops, we create tiny nests that “hold space” for our intention, our Dream, our focus.

Women rediscover their instinctual pleasure in crafting, as they weave and select and integrate bits and elements in a meaningful way.
