Dreams To Consider

Please take a moment to view the a video entitled "Unleashing Dreams" about what inspired Ann and Liv to cross Antarctica, and what inspires them now.

Launching Dreams

On their Return to Antarctica last January, Ann and Liv "launched" a little yellow dream canister into the waters off Antarctica. The canister contained the following dream:

"As we return to Antarctica, the continent that drew the two of us together, we celebrate the joining of two “sister spirits”. We celebrate our crossing of Antarctica one year ago in 2000-01, in part because it was for each of us the accomplishment of a childhood dream.

Perhaps more importantly, it made clear to us once again the incredible power of sharing dreams with people around the world. With that power in mind, we’ve formed Bancroft Arnesen Explore. In the summer of 2002, we’ll embark on an adventure on the US Great Lakes. On that adventure, and in all our work together, we hope to unleash the power of our dreams and those of others. We believe that by sharing our stories, we can all gain strength and resolve to pursue our dreams. We dream of a world where each of us is awake to the dreams and possibilities that reside within us, and feels free to work to achieve those dreams."
