    The Design Process

    Dragon Dreaming is built on a win-win-win culture. A win for ourselves personally, a win for the community and a win for the Earth. 
     
    Dreaming: The first stage is to share your dream and build a team around it that assists in making the dream come true.
     
    Planning: The second stage is to build a plan: people do not plan to fail, they only fail to plan.
     
    Doing: The third stage is where much of the work occurs.
     
    Celebrating: The fourth stage of a successful project is celebration. This connects the doing of a project back to the original dreaming. It is built upon gratitude, acknowledgement and recognition.
