Pink chunky header: "How to book:" regular text: Go to: https://workshopsasworldbuilding.com/dream-day-questions 1. Tell me a bit about your work, workshops and facilitation style in the intake questionnaire 2. Choose an available date that works for you (I've got 6 spots remaining this month) 3. Pick the rate that suits you, and make your payment (Equity-based pricing: $550 CAD is the standard price. Can choose to pay more or less based on your financial situation.)
Picture of beige and white planet with 8 colourful icons arranged around the perimeter of it. Chunky pink header text: "Envision the world of your workshop with a Dream Day." regular text: We’ll clarify your vision using the 8 Elements of Worldbuilding. Through a standalone day of voice notes, we’ll imagine a new world, layer by layer… and craft something revolutionary.
If you’ve ever thought: 💭“I’ve sat through boring stuff and don’t want that to be me” 💭“I have this nagging suspicion I’m missing something obvious and important” or your workshops just don’t feel like you... I gotchu. That's why I created Dream Days.
When you book a Dream Day, you get a truly unique, guided experience: ✨ 8 hours of Voxer support I’ll ask questions & suggest exercises to support your dreaming, then find threads, sift out the most helpful bits. 🌍 A Dreamworld Codex: a living doc to capture your thoughts and organize them into a “world” 🫶🏽 Aftercare a week later to make sure you’re still feeling great and can integrate any new ideas you’ve had.
Dream Days are a path to crystallizing the unique, nuanced, values-led workshop that might currently feel a little foggy. [screenshot: "LOVE THESE thoughts - they feel right"]
Imagine what it’d be like if you didn’t just outline a curriculum and make a slide deck*... but you actually created something uniquely yours. Something that, say, built community, helped people DO stuff, and had your values on full display. [screenshots of messages: "Girrrrl it's gonna be something to remember!" "Love the insights!"] *the few slides we can create later are top tier tho [painting nails emoji]
The reason why my Dream Day clients feel the way they do is because we don’t just focus on “activities” and “engagement strategies” then call it a day. We deeply explore their vision for the world, and the values that get lost or forgotten in conventional workshop structures.
Pink header on a creamy background: 'These recent messages got me all in my feelings:' [screenshot of a message: "Ok - you don't know how much better I feel about this whole thing. You have such a beautiful way of hearing/seeing/understanding things and then your ability to say it out loud just makes my heart so happy. I do not have this power so thank you!!!!! I want to cry happy tears 'cause you get it!"] highlight text written underneath: "You don't know how much better I feel ... I want to cry happy tears" [screenshot of a voice message and transcript: "Okay, yeah, after going through all of this and like just thinking about all the different possibilities, I can see why not doing it, so many workshops turn out kind of boring and the same because you're just kind of following the same templates. And it seems like this is doing something different and yeah, I'm excited to move into the next um phases as well.] highlight text underneath: "I can see why not doing it, so many workshops turn out kind of boring and the same." [screenshot of message: "Seriously though - I do knowo how much energy, time, care, effort, etc. you have put into this. I so appreciate that. As for where we got today, I am very happy with it! I have a clearer direction AND you gave me my end-game in a way that feels like me!!!!!"] highlighted text underneath: "You gave me my end game in a way that feels like me"
The cover of the book the quote is from. A dark, foggy view of trees is visible, fading to black in three corners. Light texts reads: How to Disappear *Notes on Invisibility in a Time of Transparency* Akiko Busch

screenshot from website: Proposal for amending the Education Act related to school board accountability, transparency, safety and rights Summary of the proposal The Ministry of Education (EDU) is proposing changes to the Education Act (the Act) that, if passed, would support better outcomes for children, youth and students: Accountability and Transparency: To modernize government oversight and control of school board affairs, amendments to the Act are proposed to: • create a single, more nimble and flexible legislative authority to provide oversight up to and including supervision based on governance, financial, or program concerns; • provide Ministerial authority to establish policies setting out key principles and mandatory requirements for school board expense policies, including discretionary spending, inclusive of regulatory enforcement, disclosure and audit requirements; • allow the ministry to conduct school board audits, define school board internal auditors and prescribe their duties and define external auditors; • remove duplicative provisions for consultation related to regulations regarding provincial interest in education and; • establish Ministerial oversight for school naming when boards open a new school and/or change an existing school name. Safety and Rights: Amendments to the Act are proposed to: • require school boards to work with local police services to allow access to schools, permit them to participate in school programs and to implement school resource officer programs where offered; and, • add regulation-making authority to allow the Lieutenant Governor in Council to set out minimum provincial standards on how school boards are to work with police, including authority to set out the circumstances within which boards must provide local police services with access to schools or to permit them to participate in school programs, and governing school resource officer programs.
The same cluster of white peonies from a different angle. The open petals look fluffy and delicate.
A cluster of white peonies, all in different stages of blooming. The largest, most open one has a purple tinge at the centre. All are covered in raindrops, swaying in a gentle breeze.

[Four green megaphones of decreasing size across the top of a page. They start very dark green, and get increasingly lighter] [plain brown text on a creamy white page] Equity lives at the “Collaboration” end of the gradient. [points to smallest, lightest megaphone] The more you move in that direction, the more you’re sharing power with your participants. It’s not easy to do 100% of the time, especially if you’re newer to it and have been relying on Broadcasting.
A medium-brown skinned woman (Amber) with long, dark curly hair sips out of a unicorn mug, giving side-eye. There is an pink-to-orange ombre behind her. Underneath the photo it reads: "Your workshops might have an Equity Mirage" and there is an orange-to-pink chevron pointing down, indicating there is more to read.
Bright and cheerful welcome page. The left half is pink, and says "Thanks for being an Early Listener!" at the top. The right half is mostly cream-coloured, with an embedded podcast player showing 'Workshops as Worldbuilding' written in white over top of the same sparkly pink, then an image of a globe with various iconography hovering along the edges, and then 'The Prequel' written in a bright pink font underneath.
