Call the Future – Now!

A One-Day Manifestation Workshop

Call the Future™ is a one-day workshop designed to introduce you to the Call the Future manifestation app created by Michael Bruno. This workshop is being offered for 2 dates only: May 28th and June 11th. In addition to learning how to put this powerful manifestation process to work, you will enjoy a walk in the woods, lunch at Michael’s home in Tuxedo Park, and dinner at Valley Rock Inn. The app will be released to the public later this year.

Call the Future – Now!

Call the Future is a manifestation app that will guide you to create the life of your wildest dreams. The app was created by Michael Bruno and is based on a lifetime of learning and ongoing discovery. It will be released to the public later this year.

For those of you who do not know Michael, he is the owner and visionary behind Valley Rock Inn and the founder of 1stdibs.com. Michael created 1stdibs in 2000; it went on to become a publicly traded company valued at over $1 billion shortly after its debut. He was credited by the design industry for bringing the internet to the design world and paving the way for how people shop for luxury items online.

A chapter of Michael’s life was featured in the movie based on Think and Grow Rich, the world’s best-selling self-help book by Napoleon Hill. The film recreates his Think Rain campaign, which morphed into a collective effort to focus thought and successfully end a severe drought in California in the 1980s.

The one-day workshop will walk you through starting a daily thought practice to create the life of your wildest dreams. You will be led through six steps rooted in ancient teachings that guide you to create a vision for your life.

Following the daily practice will ignite an alchemical process to transform your thoughts, elevate your emotions, and inspire actions that align with your vision.
As your thoughts, feelings, and actions align, you become your vision.

In addition to learning how to put this powerful manifestation process to work, the workshop will include a walk in the woods, lunch at Michael’s historic home in Tuxedo Park, and dinner at Valley Rock Inn.

About Michael Bruno

Michael Bruno is the creator of Call the Future™, founder of 1stdibs.com, and the visionary behind Valley Rock Inn. Known for his bold ideas and ability to bring dreams into form, Michael has spent a lifetime turning thought into reality.

A lifelong achiever, he won a Junior Olympics gold medal, set a Colorado state swimming record, and took first prize for lambs at the Colorado State Fair. Even early in life, he had a gift for focus, discipline, and execution—whether in the pool, the show ring, or the business world.

His journey into conscious creation began in the early 1980s when he read Think and Grow Rich—the world’s best-selling self-help book of all time by Napoleon Hill—on a beach in La Jolla California. That same day, he set two bold goals: to get his real estate license by the end of summer and to build a billion-dollar company by the time he was in his 50’s. He achieved both. By his late twenties, he had become one of California’s top-producing real estate agents, generating over $1 million a year in commissions.

He went on to found 1stdibs, the groundbreaking online marketplace that changed how the world shops for luxury design. The company went public on Nasdaq in 2018 and reached a valuation of over $1 billion. A chapter of Michael’s life was featured in Think and Grow Rich: The Movie, which recreated his Think Rain campaign from the 1980’s—a collective thought exercise that successfully ended a severe drought in California in 48 hours.

Michael’s spiritual journey began in his twenties, sparked by reading A Course in Miracles and a growing awareness of the power of thought. It deepened profoundly during a transformational trip to Egypt, where he joined a group led in part by Marianne Williamson. During an all-night meditation inside the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid, he experienced a deep shift in awareness and realized that there is far more to our existence than we’ve been taught.

Michael later revitalized the historic heart of a small Hudson Valley village, purchasing and restoring 17 buildings and creating Valley Rock Inn—a thriving destination for food, nature, and wellness that earned him New York State’s Pillar of Preservation Award. Today, thousands of people visit Valley Rock each month to dine, learn, connect with nature, and celebrate life events, including weddings, birthdays and retreats.

Backed by ancient wisdom and Nobel Prize–winning science, creating Call the Future™ is the next chapter on Michael’s journey—a manifestation app designed to help others consciously choose their thoughts, align with their vision, and create the life they were born to live.

The benefits of activating your whole brain state

A synchronized dual-brain hemisphere state—where the left and right hemispheres of the brain are in harmony—can provide numerous benefits for mental, emotional, and even physical functioning. Here’s how it helps

1. Enhanced Creativity and Problem-Solving

  • The left hemisphere excels in logic, language, and analytical thinking, while the right hemisphere specializes in creativity, intuition, and holistic processing.
  • Synchronization enables both hemispheres to work together, combining logic and intuition for more effective problem-solving and innovative thinking.

2. Improved Emotional Balance

  • The right hemisphere is more connected to emotions and the subconscious, while the left often applies reason and interpretation.
  • When synchronized, emotional reactions can be better understood and regulated, reducing stress and increasing emotional resilience.

3. Heightened Focus and Clarity

  • A balanced brain state reduces internal conflict, allowing for clear and focused thinking.
  • Tasks requiring both detailed analysis and creative vision are performed more effectively.

4. Enhanced Learning and Memory

  • Synchronization facilitates communication between the hemispheres through the corpus callosum, improving the brain’s ability to integrate and retain information.
  • It can accelerate learning processes and aid in memory recall by combining logical sequencing with visual and spatial memory.

5. Improved Physical Coordination

  • Motor skills and physical coordination benefit from hemispheric synchronization, as the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and vice versa.
  • Athletes and performers often train to achieve this balance for optimal performance.

6. Increased Mindfulness and Meditative States

  • Practices like meditation, yoga, or sound therapy often aim to synchronize hemispheres, creating a state of flow or heightened awareness.
  • This can reduce overthinking and promote a sense of unity and peace.

7. Boosted Intuition and Spiritual Insight

  • Synchronization allows the intuitive insights of the right hemisphere to be more effectively processed and expressed by the left.
  • This can lead to deeper spiritual awareness or a sense of connection to oneself and the universe.

8. Reduced Stress and Anxiety

  • A balanced brain state can calm the overactive left hemisphere (often linked to worry and rumination) and allow the right hemisphere’s calming influence to take hold.
  • This balance fosters relaxation and reduces the physiological effects of stress.

The benefits of activating your heart-brain coherence

Achieving a heart-brain coherence state—a state where the heart and brain operate in harmonious synchronization—offers a wide range of benefits across physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual dimensions. Here are the key benefits:

 

1. Physical Health Benefits

  • Improved Cardiovascular Health: Heart-brain coherence reduces blood pressure, regulates heart rate variability, and improves overall heart function.
  • Boosted Immune System: The calming effects of coherence enhance immune function and reduce inflammation in the body.
  • Increased Energy Levels: Coherence optimizes the body’s energy use by reducing stress-related energy drains.

 

2. Mental and Cognitive Benefits

  • Enhanced Focus and Clarity: Coherence improves the ability to concentrate and think clearly by reducing mental noise and distractions.
  • Better Decision-Making: With emotional balance and reduced stress, individuals can make decisions with greater clarity and wisdom.
  • Improved Memory and Learning: The harmonized state supports better brain functioning, aiding memory retention and learning capacity.

 

3. Emotional and Psychological Benefits

  • Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Coherence calms the autonomic nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and reducing stress.
  • Greater Emotional Balance: It helps regulate emotions, making it easier to stay calm and composed in challenging situations.
  • Increased Resilience: Individuals in this state recover more quickly from emotional upsets and challenges.

 

4. Spiritual and Intuitive Benefits

  • Enhanced Intuition: Coherence strengthens the heart’s neural network, which some researchers suggest contributes to intuitive decision-making and insights.
  • Deeper Spiritual Connection: Many people experience a sense of alignment with their values, purpose, and the universe in this state.
  • Expanded Awareness: Coherence promotes a sense of interconnectedness, allowing for a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s place in the world.

 

5. Relationship and Social Benefits

  • Improved Communication: A coherent state enhances empathy, active listening, and the ability to express oneself clearly.
  • Greater Empathy and Compassion: It fosters emotional understanding and connection with others, improving relationships.
  • Reduced Conflict: By promoting emotional balance, coherence makes it easier to navigate interpersonal challenges peacefully.

 

6. Performance and Productivity Benefits

  • Peak Performance: Coherence enhances the ability to enter flow states, optimizing performance in sports, work, and creative activities.
  • Increased Creativity: The alignment of emotional and cognitive processes opens pathways for innovative thinking and problem-solving.
  • Heightened Efficiency: Coherence enables the mind and body to work together seamlessly, leading to more effective and focused effort.

 

7. Long-Term Benefits

  • Sustained Well-Being: Regularly achieving coherence can lead to lasting improvements in health, happiness, and overall quality of life.
  • Neuroplasticity and Brain Health: The repeated practice of coherence supports the development of healthier neural pathways, improving long-term brain function.
  • Reduction in Chronic Conditions: By managing stress and promoting systemic harmony, coherence may reduce the risk of stress-related illnesses.

 

Conclusion

Heart-brain coherence is a powerful state that enhances physical health, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual connection. It is both a tool for immediate stress relief and a practice with profound long-term benefits, empowering individuals to live with greater harmony, effectiveness, and joy.
