Resources

Web of Dreamers Empowerment Group is a gathering of people who share their goals and support each other in reaching them. The group meets regularly to share strategies, to report on progress and to offer support to other members.

These groups may blend participants from workshops, events or other community endeavors. The focus of this group is to help participants generate ideas and is led by a trained facilitator.  Once participants are ready, they can follow a specialized plan to actualize their dreams.

This is a criticism-free environment where all ideas are welcome.
