Lucid dreaming can be used to consciously direct the dream so that we can learn, train, meditate and gain answers to some of life’s biggest questions while we dream. The practice has been used for thousands of years by Tibetan Buddhists, Mexican Shamans, and Sufi Mystics who knew the powerful healing lucid dreaming could facilitate. In this inspirational talk, bestselling author and lucid dreaming teacher Charlie Morley explore how lucid dreaming can transform the third of our lives that we spend asleep!

Charlie Morley is a bestselling author and teacher of lucid dreaming and shadow integration. He’s been lucid dreaming for over 20 years and was authorized to teach within the Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism by Lama Yeshe Rinpoche in 2008. He has since co-created a holistic approach to dreamwork called Mindfulness of Dream and Sleep alongside mindfulness pioneer Rob Nairn. He’s also written three books that have been translated into 15 languages. Charlie formally became a Buddhist at the age of 19, lived at the Kagyu Samye Dzong Buddhist Centre for 7 years, and completed a 3-month solo meditation retreat at Tara Rokpa Centre in 2016.

Have you heard of Goalcast? If you haven’t, it might be time to check them out. With over 30 million fans and 500 million video views a month, Goalcast empowers millions of people to live a life of purpose and connects human beings seeking truth and authenticity. In this talk, the founders of Goalcast, Salim Sader, and Cyrus Gorjipour share their tips and insights on how to create videos that go viral.

When co-founders Cyrus Gorjipour and Salim Sader created Goalcast in 2016, they were both disillusioned by the traditional academic system. Cyrus had suffered through years of low self-esteem and depression before discovering a psychological concept called the internal locus of control, the belief that you are responsible for your own success. The powerful mindset reframe helped him turn his life around, and made him wonder why this sort of principle was not taught in schools.

Meanwhile, Salim was a physics teacher, and he couldn’t bear the thought of putting students into a box and limiting the extent of their potential to exams and grades. He and Cyrus came together to give others the tools to succeed in the school of life. Today, Goalcast is one of the fastest-growing personal development brands in the world.  

Listen out for:

- Scooter Braun’s Goalcast video story. 

- The story behind the well-known Rock Thomas’s video.

- 4 Rules Goalcast videos follow.
