Time to catch up!

Renewed Energy.
Hooray, it's finally time to start the newsletter again! After this summer's amazing adventures and accomplishments (see the DreemKitchen Recap), we are now ready to begin a new journey together with D.r.e.e.m. Reality. With the acquisition of a fancy new Mac computer, various hard drives with essential media (videos, photos, and content), and a stationary working environment we have all the tools we need to make things happen.
We want to thank everyone for their continued support and love as we build our community of Dreemers together. That means you! And, as usual, we want to encourage each one of you to plug into D.r.e.e.m. Reality as you feel pulled to. Onward!
Non-Profit Status Update.
As you may know, D.r.e.e.m. Reality acquired its California Non-Profit status back on December 2, 2010. The process was tedious and full of red tape, but we got it. However, the real deal is when you get Federal Tax exempt status - 501(c)3 status. My friends, we have been working hard to attain this status for the past year or more and finally - WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED! Officially, we are both a State and Federal Non-Profit Organization as of June 16th, 2011.
For simplicity's sake, this means that we will have access to grants, fundraising, tax-deductible donations, and an impressive public standing. We are eager to activate the reception of public donation and will be sure to let you know when we have that set up. For now, let's celebrate this long journey with high hopes for continued success!
For more information about our Non-Profit Status progress, check out the blog.
DreemKitchen Recap.
I can confidently say that this year's DreemKitchen at the Washington State National Rainbow Gathering was an incredible success! More than we could have ever imagined. Not only did we accomplish our goal to feed people healthy, intentional food, but the DreemTeam grew with a magnificent force. From the moment we unloaded our four vehicles full of gear in the rain and snow, our tribe of Dreemers expanded with a powerful sense of community I have never experienced. (See more in the blog)
We cannot thank all of you enough, who contributed so essentially in the creation of DreemKitchen. Without you, your determination, your hard work, your love, and your creative energy - the kitchen would have only been an idea. Instead, together we manifested a wonderful space to learn, teach, create, eat, make music, dance, and love together.
Thank you. From the depths of our souls. Truly, thank you.
Where to from here? There is an official DreemKitchen report being created in order to collect thoughts and lessons, as well as to refine our process for next year. That's right! We're doing it again, and would love to make it an annual event. We are eager to hear your experiences and thoughts, and will have a questionnaire created soon if you would like to participate. Additionally, we will have a slideshow video created as soon as we can - thanks to our new Mac computer!

Projects to Explore.
So, DreemKitchen isn't the only project we have lined up. We are always seeking new ways to educate ourselves and others about the various methods of sustainability. With little projects such as trash clean ups, home garden building, and compost digging, we try to make changes with the little resources we have. But our sights are set high with our new 501(c)3 status, and we look forward to dedicating our focus towards the ultimate goal of D.r.e.e.m. Reality - To acquire land in order to create an Education and Research Eco-Facility. Here's how...
Both the Hawaiian Research Project and DreemKitchen were created with the mission to educate ourselves about the "Hows" of Environmental, Social, and Economic sustainability. Therefore, in cooperation with the other smaller projects we have the following major projects for the upcoming year:
And as usual, our ongoing projects mentioned above. For more information on any of these, please click on the links. To plug into one or more of these projects, please contact us! (Danielle@DreemReality.org)
Thanks for tuning in! And welcome to all the new Dreemers!
So much Love,
