    The Dreamcoat: Burning Man. Camper Van & The Ultimate High.

    Nicola Sokell is a Life & Soul Coach, Curator of Magical Experiences, DJ, Nomad and Founder of The Dreamcoat . Since 2005 she has travelled with The Dreamcoat to festivals, fields, homes, streets, offices, picnics and parties all over the world, collecting people’s dreams. All kinds of dreams: daydreams, night dreams, aspirations, visions, fantasies and wishes. It works like this: Each of it’s pockets has a dream inside. Anyone can have a dream from a pocket. But they must exchange it for one of their own. So you give your dream... ...and you get a stranger’s dream. The Dreamcoat is a celebration of the amazing collaboration we humans are involved in and she wants to invite as much participation in this as possible by offering: • Creatively engaging workshops for groups, communities, companies, organisations and individuals, exploring how to live our dreams. • Inspiring and engaging talks on dreams, the dreamcoat journey and it's discoveries. • Interactive walkabout at events, public gatherings, festivals, conferences etc. • A 'dreambooth' where dreamers can share their dreams in a welcoming space. Nicola says, “The path of our dreams, if we choose to take it, is generally not very straight and for sure it's not always easy. But it's a very important one, it's our life's work, it's what connects us to our meaning and purpose.” To book, enquire or admire contact; nicolasokell@hotmail.com Website https://www.nicolasokell.com/ Film: The Dreamcoat Dream Coat Movie New World.
