CREATED AT A WORKSHOP Dragon Dreaming – an integral design philosophy that takes sustainability into account in every aspect of our lives.
AN ENHANCED VERSION FROM WORKSHOPS Dragon Dreaming – a living systems approach, drawing upon insights and inspiration from history, science and Aboriginal cultures and diverse spiritual traditions, that assists in the creation of outrageously successful organisations and projects, for the Great Turning of the world away from a cancerous culture of limitless growth towards a culture that sustains the unfolding of life on Earth.
FOR BUREAUCRATIC ORGANISATIONS Dragon Dreaming – an approach to consensual participatory strategic planning for projects and organisations in the field of Ecologically Sustainable Community Economic Development. It enables rapid feedback that builds collective wisdom, and fosters adaptive capacity enabling individuals, groups, enterprises, communities, and government bodies to adjust creatively and positively to situations of rapid and potentially chaotic change.
