Santa Cruz Pride Booth

Happy Pride!

This past Sunday, June 3, we held another booth at the Santa Cruz Pride event on Pacific, downtown. An incredibly beautiful day with blue skies, perfect weather, and many many happy people to wander the event and stop in to see what Dreem Reality is up to. We specifically enjoy having a booth at Pride events because Dreem Reality has a significant number of Dreemers that are part of the LGBT community, including our Directors! 

Once again, we offered "Free H20 4 U" in honor of the "Water Awareness...Down the Drain" documentary andDreemTV's growing presence. Additionally we featured our DreemArt, front and center which added such a draw to the booth. Also, our Director Ashley Coatney (and EarthOm) donated her handmade bath salts and incense to the cause, which we burned all day. All of these were great ways to engage people and recruit them forDreemGardens and other enthusiasm.

In the end we got about 20 new mailing list members, including
  • Chris, a Storm Water Quality Consultant who we intend to follow up with for the large scale "Down the Drain" documentary
  • Ken, a permaculture landscaping teacher of Terra Nova Landscaping inlvolved with "Grow Food Party Crew" and which is extremely similar to DreemGarden's mission 
  • Several mamas that are interested in having Dreemers come work in their garden
  • A fruit tree specialist, and many more wonderful people!

Overall, another wonderful DreemEvent to spread the word and the mission!

Thanks for those that stopped by and joined the DreemTeam!

Reel Change Film Festival: "Water Awareness...Down the Drain"

This past weekend, on June 26th, we got to celebrate our first appearance on the big screen! 

"Water Awareness...Down the Drain", our first ever DreemTV documentary was accepted and premiered at the UCSC "Reel Change Film Festival" The intention of the film festival was to feature films, workshops, and art of social and environmental justice purposes, and it was a wonderful event!


We arrived and set up our booth - tapestries, banner, tables, pamphlets, sign up sheets, and displays ready to entice new Dreemers to join our team. Employing the assistance of "Free H20 for You" to bring thirsty folks relief and to honor our Water Awareness film, we engaged with curious stopper-byes. On the other side of our booth, we featured DreemGardens with a trifold and beautiful seedlings - there are always so many people interested in joining up with such a great community and family building opportunity! 

Oh! And we activated our "What is your Dreem" white board, encouraging people to write their Dreem in order to manifest it! Here is what the board had by the end of the night:
  • Having a healthy baby
  • No Monopolies
  • A beautiful sustainable community
  • Educate the youth
  • Regenerative, sustainable, blissful loving communities - Globally!
  • A world of love and awareness
  • Forgetting personal satisfaction
  • $
  • Home gardens for everyone
  • Harmony between people & nature
  • Bicycles everywhere
  • Have the planet touch & talk...
  • A close family
  • Free
  • World Domination
  • Being Dominated by the world
  • A good successor for world domination
  • World-Wide Dreeming


Of course we also took the opportunity to display the beautiful DreemArt that has been created from reclaimed and natural materials. Our Dreemers are so multi-talented and creative! 


 
The film premiered at 5:30pm and had some enthusiastic viewers! Thank you to those that came out for that - Daphne, Peter, Amber, Jonathan, and of course those that we don't already know! It felt so wonderful to have your support, as always! Oh, and a special thank you to Dreemer Jonathan for assisting us hold down the booth - you're always a pleasure to have around and to create with. 
And finally, we'd like to thank all those that helped create the film! Our film crew from the Digital Safari Academy (Nina, Winnie, Qua'Tasia, Brenda, and Randy), West County Wastewater District and Joe, our interviewees (Cate, Lynn, Carter, William, August, Melissa, Josh, Mike, Tom, Lucas, Sonya, Justin, Rhea, and Crystal), and of course our Master Editor Jason Raggio.
