Our Mission

Youth from both poor and affluent backgrounds, inclusive of those that have been marginalized and considered at-risk, are most in need of a safe place where they can pause to find peace.

Dreamspace was created to fill a need for access to a safe space to create. By design, Dreamspace workshops provide encouragement for children and adults on how to pause and find peace. Dreamspace offers pathways through a series of art workshops allowing peace and reflection with creative self-expression. These pathways have been designed to unlock the inner child of both children and adults using art experiences. Mental health experts tell us high-risk children are vulnerable to mental health challenges.

Dreamspace, created by founder, artist, author, and educator Renee Brown is a wonderland of joy for children and adults seeking a safe place to let their minds soar and release what is inside. Renee Brown has published on the value of using a strong foundation of basic art skills found throughout the lessons in her book Lines and circles.

These lessons inspire inner release and discovery, and a respect for fundamental art foundations. Participants are encouraged to explore hidden mysteries within their artistic expressions. Renee Brown’s approach has proven to be life-giving. During these art exercises, participants are encouraged to reflect on what they see, lifting a heightened sensitivity, awareness, and personal value of their inner being. Researchers have shown that an engaged and mindful state of mind promotes positive self-esteem and positive prosocial behavior.
