Dream-Making DIY kit

What are your dreams for the future? Through this mindful activity, create your vision of the true, the just and the beautiful as a group or on your own. Display your stitched cloud as a reminder of your inspiration.

It’s easy to feel helpless in the face of injustices we find upsetting. It can feel overwhelming and all consuming. Yet neuroscience shows us that by having a vision rather than just fixating on a problem, our brains start finding ways to turn those visions into reality.

“This Dream-making project taps into this insight. It’s designed to engage the creative, conscious, planning system in your brain – the prefrontal cortex – and help you consider how to join the dots and explore routes to a better future.” – Dr Charlotte Rae, neuroscientist at the University of Sussex

“I found it so interesting, and a proper challenge, to think deeply about what my utopian dream actually is.” Fabienne at one of the Craftivist Collective’s first dream-making workshops.
