We Are the Ones We Are Waiting For
Project Design for the Great Turning
DRAGON DREAMING
A systemic design process, a philosophy and a methodological framework for collaborative and regenerative projects and organizations.
It makes the dreams of individuals and groups come true in an inspiring, playful, encouraging, and meaningful manner. Co-founder John Croft, describes Dragon Dreaming as unconditional love in action.
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.
