On Manifesting, heartful intentions, and living the life for which you long
For a long time, I have been interested in what is meant by "manifesting," "holding intentions," "heart's desires," and other expressions of dream realization.  

With that in mind, I am embarking on a writing project to explore different perspectives and understandings of these themes. This project is a way for me to integrate my decades long dance and movement practice with my writing and coaching/facilitation offerings.

Collaborative inquiry is an important part of this project. This survey is both a request for your input, and an invitation to explore what dream realization/holding intentions means to you. I believe that you will have new insights and awareness as you reflect on these questions.  In that spirit, it would be beneficial to give yourself some time to fill in the survey, if possible.

Your responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide your name/email at the end.

Thank you for filling this out, and for sharing your reflections on this rich and potentially complex topic!
