Cosmic Cowgirls Mary Mac Donald and Elizabeth Gibbons will be café hosts with creative writings and the glitter bar.

The day will be followed by an evening of celebration, poetry and dancing. ALICE WALKER, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Color Purple, will be speaking and reading from her new book, Hard Times Require Furious Dancing. She will be joined by special guest Grammy Award Winning musician INDIA ARIE for a collaborative music and poetry set. And dancing to Hedzoleh Soundz.

“The entire day focuses on honoring the Big Dreams of all people -- our hopes, our life visions, and moving through our challenges with grace, even and especially during, hard times. The Bay Area, known for it’s big dreams and the sheer number of VISIONARY thinkers and revolutionary leaders, was our catalytic inspiration for this event” says Executive Producer, Shiloh McCloud. “We are all facing life changes right now, trying to find or stay on our path, and looking for ways to live a life of meaning. The Big Dream Café is the place where all dreamers come together to vision, to learn, to take action and to be inspired to follow our dreams, no matter what. So come dance and dream with us. Each chocolate. Be connected. Experience art. Create a book of Big Dreams. This is how we transform our lives, by working together.”
