About the challenge

[edit | edit source]

We collectively create our reality, both by our actions and our inaction. We are invited to deepen our empathy and to better cooperate with each other and with life itself. How can we develop joint and individual successful projects out of all these different, individual ideas? How can we come from inspiration to creative action? How can we ensure healthy feedback loops, which are as rapid and efficient as possible and support us to improve our projects serving the whole?

If you want to go fast you go alone. If you want to go far you go together
— African Proverb

Description

[edit | edit source]

Dragon Dreaming is an inspiring, encouraging and meaningful open­source method for assisting individuals and groups who seek to make their dreams come true. It offers simple and playful holistic tools for visionary initiation processes, planning, implementation, evaluation and celebration. Through different theories, tools, tips and techniques it supports the improvement of the effectiveness in the everyday work and life.

Dragon Dreaming, first developed by John Croft and Vivienne Elanta, is inspired by social and environmental activism, the new physics, Gaia and Earth sciences, living systems and chaos and complexity theory, and the ancient sustainable wisdom of indigenous cultures and Australian Aborigines. Dragon Dreaming is based on liberating collective intelligence, creativity, cooperation and the sleeping power within ourselves and inherent in our communities.
